New updates coming up

Posted on April 17, 2012 by Dirk-Jan

Because of some personal reasons I haven’t been able to work a lot on updating myUse lately. Though the ideas on improving the app still is very much alive. Right now I’ve got 2 major releases planned for the hopefully near future. The first one will include full iPad support, taking advantage of the bigger screen. In the first release, the change between the original iPhone version and the iPad version won’t be too big, but that gap will grow.

The other thing is that I am planning to incorporate iCloud support that will allow you to take your measurements with your either of your iDevices, allowing you to always check the latest updates of your measurements, no matter whether you are using your iPad or iPhone. This will also have the benefit that the data of your measurements is also stored on the iCloud servers, meaning that your data remains save if you for instance happen to loose your iPhone. Just buy a new iPhone, for instance via O2, reinstall myUse and your data will be there again.

The last thing is that the iPad support will be build into myUse, making it a multiverse app. You won’t need to buy a separate version of myUse for all of your iDevices, but you’ll be able to use the one copy on all of your devices.

Version 2.11 is out, fixing the white screen on iPads

Posted on December 9, 2011 by Dirk-Jan

Apple just approved version 2.11 of myUse, meaning that the problem with the white screen on the iPad has gone. Sorry for the inconvenience.
As with about everything there is an advantage to this disadvantage. As I needed to borrow the iPad of my father for testing and fixing the problem, I also made a leap forward in making myUse a multi-verse application. There is still a lot of work to be done. I estimate that early 2012 should see the first 3.0 release.

Version 2.10 is out

Posted on November 30, 2011 by Dirk-Jan

As you might have noticed, version 2.10 is out. It is only a minor release, so not too much new stuff on the outside yet. On the inside though, I’ve started working on making the app multi-verse. It will still take some more time until that is ready to be released in the wild.

Update (2011-12-03): There is a known error with version 2.10 on the iPad. I am working on a fix for that. Meanwhile do not delete myUse, as it will also delete your measurements. If you found issues on other devices, please e-mail me on info at myuse.eu.

Update 2 (2011-12-04): I’ve just uploaded a new version to Apple. As soon as they review this version, the white screen bug on the iPad is gone.

Version 2.9 about to be released

Posted on November 14, 2011 by Dirk-Jan

It’s been a while since I last updated this site, but I’ve been busy with a lot of other stuff. It seems that I’ll be getting some more development time during the next few monhts, so be prepared for some major updates.
I am working on making myUse a multiverse application, meaning that it will work on an iPad too. It will take some time before that will be finished (I’ll probably call it version 3.x from that moment onwards).
That version should finally have unit support too.

Today I did submit another minor update to Apple, that fixes a timezone bug when adding a new measurement. That ought to be approved and out within the next few days.

iOS5 issues and myUse

Posted on October 15, 2011 by Dirk-Jan

It appears that the graphing feature of myUse 2.6 is currently not fully compatible with iOS5. I am working on an update and expect it to be available before the end of the month (part of the delay will be the approval process of Apple).

Update 2011, Oct 17th: I’ve just submitted an updated version to the app store that fixes the graphing. Should be out asap.
Update 2011, Oct 23th: The update has been approved and is out (since Friday). If anyone encounters more problems, please let me know.

Version 2.6 has been released

Posted on September 7, 2011 by Dirk-Jan

Just a quick note to let you know that version 2.6 has just been approved and released. This update fixes a problem with windows-style linebreaks from dropbox import files.
This version of myUse recognizes those linebreaks and continues while importing that kind of file.

myUse 2.6 submitted – minor update

Posted on August 30, 2011 by Dirk-Jan

Yesterday I submitted a minor update version of myUse to ~~Steve~~Tim Cook. Hope he is not too busy and the new update will come out shortly. It fixes a minor bug in uploading Dropbox files that contain Windows-style linebreaks.
I also included a retina display icon in this update.

I’ve been a bit too busy in my private life lately to actually code any more features into this update. The end of that busy period seems to be near and I will start coding more features afterwards.

Version 2.5 is out!

Posted on April 30, 2011 by Dirk-Jan

A minor update of myUse has just been approved. It fixes 2 minor bugs and introduces a request for review. So not a lot of changes this time.
If you have feature requests, please mail me via the contacts tab. In the mean time, download the new myUse update.

Free app of the day: myUse via ecoappsfree.com

I was asked by the team of http://ecoappsfree.com/ to give away myUse for a day. The app myUse qualifies for their promotional activities because keeping track of your usage will allow you to adjust your usage easily, saving both your money as the environment. On April 22th 2011, the myUse app is free for 24 hours.

If you get it for free, don’t forget to review myUse, as that will help improving myUse.

New free app: ronflonflon datumgenerator

Posted on March 18, 2011 by admin

In his legendary 1980s programm Ronflonflon, on Dutch public radio, host Jacques Plafond (stage name of Wim T. Schippers) used to not only mention the conventional date of the broadcast, but also that same date converted to months and years in the past. For example in episode 131, which was broadcast on “October 913, 1984; April 718, 1985; February 403, 1986; or April 8th, 1987″. It must have been a nasty job to calculate each week! Thanks to modern technology, you now can calculate such idiosyncratic dates with the ‘Ronflonflon Datumgenerator’!

Get it at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ronflonflon-datumgenerator/id423133757?mt=8, it is free.
