Bugs.. Gotta love 'Em :)

Last night I recived a mail from a user of iKeepScore reporting some odd behavior. I booted up my version of iKeepScore, and sure enough the bug was there too. I went to sleep and first thing in the morning I started looking around the code, everything looked ok! Well, to be able to explain the solution I must explain how the app works.

What I have done is that I tagged each cell in iKeepScore with a number from 1 - 108 ( 6 players * 18 cells ) and in the
score calculating code I loop through the cells, adding the numbers together to a total score at the bottom. So this is was basiclly happend : one of the cells had the wrong tag...

So I decided to put the cells tag in the cell. The tag is basicly just a number. If you look to the right you will see two screenshots, the left one is correct, the right one is the one I got the first time. So the bug was this: instead of putting a 6 in cell number
6s tag, I had put 56 there.. and it got better... You can see that the cell where there are supposed to be a 42 is empty? Turns out I put a 41 in
that tag too. That one would have been
really hard for a user to catch, as it adds to the correct column.

I've updated the apps and sent in them to the Apple review team, expect the update to be released in about 3 weeks!

Small Update regarding the new apps..

Got my first rejection mail from Apple today.. I had forgot to put in an error message that should be displeyed if the user has lost connectivity... Well it took five minutes to put in, so I changed some other things to, I'm really exited about these apps. Sorry for all the secrecy about the two new apps, but I will provide more info when they're out!

That's all for now, have a great weekend!

iThinkQuick v1.1!

Yeap just got the mail from Apple, the new version of iThinkQuick is out! The new version got 2 new minigames and alot of new graphics, and perhaps the best feature is that the game is now playable on iPhone and iPod Touch devices which hasn't been upgraded to the OS 3.0!

You can download the new version of the app here: iThinkQuick v1.1 @ iTunes

Some Nice Stats!

I thought of putting some stats up here for my two apps, iThinkQuick and iKeepScore.

49 % of customers is located in the U.S

iThinkQuick
1735 Downloads ( 1700 Downloads first week )
0 Upgrades ( new version today! )

Well that's all for now, I will be back later when the ( hopfully ) "ready for sale" mail from Apple is recived again!

New app in review!

I just sent in a new app for review, it's really 2 apps, one of them is a free version and the other one will cost 0.99$. I wont publish anything about what the app does before it comes out but it has something to do with news...

The free version will have ads in it, and the paid one will remove these. This is the first time I've been working with AdMob and the experience so far has been great, it was really easy to integrate with my app and get to function fully, so thank you AdMob for bringing an easy AdFramework to the table :)

Have a great weekend, I'll be back later when I get some new info about iThinkQuick 1.1!
