Yesterday Apple reviewed and approved the My Viking 1.0.2 update. It has been in the App Store for a day and I thought I’d post the change log, as most people are swamped with iOS4 support updates & don’t read the update descriptions.
Call history
- Call history displays hours when the duration of a call or data session is longer than 1 hour. Example: 67:01 becomes 1:07:01
- Fixed issue where the duration of calls was equal to the sum of the call and the time the phone rang instead of only the call duration.
- Fixed issue where scrolling through the list caused free texts/data sessions to show a cost.
Analysis
- When more than 1000 text messages are left in the bundle, because the bundle was topped up before the previous bundle expired. The text messages prediction is hidden because we can not make a reasonable prediction in this specific case.
- Improved display of data sizes smaller than 1MB. Example: 0,6MB is shown instead of ,6MB
With this “bugfix” update available I can start working on some real improvements & new features. I still haven’t decided yet, but the next version could be a iOS4 only update.
As always progress & related news can be followed on Twitter.
Thank you for this very useful app!
May I suggest saving the slider’s position (in the “Analysis” section)? I, for one, always slide it to the left since I get 1000 free text messages a month and only use few of them, so all I’m interested in is seeing how many call minutes I’ve got left. Currently, I have to slide it to the left every time I go to that section.
In the “Call History” section, it would be great to have a fixed number of history items rather than being limited to the items of today. Or perhaps you could load and display more items when scrolling down.
Also in the “Call History” section, you may want to change the duration notation. Currently, when you receive a phone call, it says “From [name] at 09:54 for 0:41”, where 09:54 is hh:mm but 0:41 is m:ss. That might be a bit confusing. How about writing the minutes and seconds out in readable text instead? Something like “From [name] at 09:54 for 41 seconds” or “From [name] at 09:54 for 1 hour, 2 minutes and 41 seconds”.
These are all just details/minor suggestions, of course. Thanks again for this wonderful app, and keep up the good work!
