Vegas Mate 1.1.0 Released Vegas Mate 1.1.0 Released on Apple iTunes App Store

By Hunter on October 21, 2008 12:48 PM | No TrackBacks
I'm happy to announce that Vegas Mate 1.1.0 has been released (opens in iTunes).

As with all updates, this is free for existing customers.

The biggest new feature in this version is the ability to read, write and share reviews and ratings for everything we cover, right from your iPhone or iPod Touch. No more waiting until you get home to rant about how great (or terrible) something was.

The reviews are sent to our RateVegas.com database and shared with other Vegas Mate users.

Along with that, there's a ton of other little tweaks and improvements.

Are you a Vegas Mate user (thanks)? Has it been helpful for you? Feel free to submit a review in iTunes - it helps quite a bit when users do this.

Vegas Mate 1.1 in Final Testing / Released Soon

By Hunter on October 10, 2008 9:15 PM | No TrackBacks
Vegas Mate 1.1.0, the next major version of the program, has entered the final testing stage. Soon it will be submitted to the iTunes App Store for review and then publication. This, along with all other Vegas Mate updates, is totally free.

This new version is very exciting.

The biggest new feature is the ability to read, write and share reviews of everything with other Vegas Mate users. The new user review system comes pre-loaded with thousands of reviews from our site, RateVegas.com.

Along with user reviews, the new release includes some updated data, some new user interface improvements, performance improvements and more.

Look for it soon.

Lastly, I recently discovered that at least one of the negative reviews for Vegas Mate in the iTunes App Store was written by a casino employee that wasn't happy with the rating for their property. That's just lame.

In the meantime, I've been hard at work at version 1.1 - the biggest new feature is writing and sharing of user reviews and I'm happy to say that the feature is working quite well.

A few screen shots are available after the jump...

Vegas Mate 1.0.3 Submitted to App Store

By Hunter on September 24, 2008 11:27 AM | No TrackBacks
Development on version 1.1 continues (very excited about the new features!) but we did track down a couple of content errors on a recent 'research mission' that seemed important to fix right away.

Thus, version 1.0.3 has been submitted to Apple for review and should be on the App Store in about a week.

Vegas Mate 1.0.2 Released on App Store

By Hunter on September 13, 2008 11:24 AM | No TrackBacks
The 1.0.2 release has gone live on the App Store. Head over there to pick up your free update.

Next up is the 1.1 release. The feature list is somewhat in flux - several new things are planned. The most important new feature is something we think will have a big impact - the ability to read, write and share user reviews of everything in our database.

We will be linking into the user reviews on RateVegas.com and allow you not only to view them in Vegas Mate but to write reviews as well.

There are some other ideas as well as some good suggestions garnered from some of the iTunes reviews that will make it into the 1.1 release and further updates.

* Add marker for current location when showing a 'Quick Map'

We got notification that Apple approved version 1.0.1 of Vegas Mate (it only took a week).

This update includes a bunch of content updates and a few bug fixes - we found some problems in the dialing code right before release. The update is free to all owners and the first of many.

1.0.2 is in the late stages of development. It includes more content updates and a few other tweaks.

After that, work will continue on 1.1 and adding several major new features. We'll talk more about those when a firm feature list is in place.

Thanks for supporting Vegas Mate.
