Vegas Mate 1.1.4 Available

| No TrackBacks
Vegas Mate 1.1.4 has been approved for sale and will start showing up in iTunes soon.

1.1.4 includes several content updates, namely Encore's final details, new Downtown Las Vegas info and some other corrections for new content.

1.2.0 will be our next release and includes new functionality, including sorting options and a few other new treats.
First off, Vegas Mate 1.1.3 will be in the App Store this evening. This is a recommended free update as it fixes a bug related to viewing maps.

Second up - if you are a publisher of a Vegas blog or Web site, we're happy to offer you a free copy of our application. Contact us via email at vegasmate AT ratevegas DOT com for more information.
Vegas Mate 1.1.1 has been released on the iTunes App Store. This, as with all updates, is free for existing customers.

The update includes several small bug fixes, improved scrolling speed and some updates to the database, most notably to include Aliante Station.

Thanks to everyone that has purchased the application and feel free to send suggestions for future features to vegasmate@ratevegas.com.
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 1.1.0, 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.
Vegas Mate 1.0.3 has been published to the iTunes App Store - it's a free update for all existing owners that includes some content fixes.

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

| 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.

A Note on iTunes Reviews

Updated: October 10th, 2008

Thanks to everyone that has purchased Vegas Mate - it's very much appreciated. My goal is to create a truly useful resource and when it comes to features for the app, we're just getting started.

Keep reading for a response and followup to some of the questions posted in our iTunes App Store reviews.

Vegas Mate 1.0.2 Released on App Store

| 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.
Vegas Mate 1.0.2 has been submitted to the App Store. This is the second point release of Vegas Mate.

This free update includes:

* Restaurant Content Updates
* Hotel Content Updates
* Show Content Updates
* Hide 'More Info' button if it is not present.
* Add marker for current location when showing a 'Quick Map'

Hopefully Apple will make it available soon. Thank you for supporting Vegas Mate.

We have also started working on Vegas Mate 1.1, a new version that will feature several all-new features that we think you'll love. If you have suggestions for Vegas Mate, please share them.
