3.0.0
So much to say here. It's practically a full re-write of the app!
• iPad support! The app now has universal support of all devices running iOS 7.
• Complete design overhaul. I actually started on the redesign before iOS 7 came out. Turns out we were thinking along similar lines.
• Theming. Who doesn't love a color scheme change every once in a while? We now have "light" and "dark" themes. (Pro)^
• New chime sounds. 4 of them to be exact. Not going to lie, I like these much better then the original. (Pro)^
• New slide-out menu. Swipe from the very left edge or the tap left button the navigation bar to access. Frees up a lot more screen real estate.
• Multiple interval chimes are now limited to 1 in the free version, unlimited in Pro.^
• Chime auto-reset after 24 hours.
• Chime graph now shows up in the actual Chime List, so you don't have to open it to see the progress, or open a bunch of them because you don't remember which one is running.
• Multi-orientation support. Portrait, widescreen, upside down, I don't care! Put your device however you want. There is also an option for orientation lock if you really don't want the auto-rotation.
• Better support: logs can now be emailed to me, the developer. Okay, this is really a feature for me, but it helps all of you in the long run.
^Yes, Pro features require an in-app purchase! But I really appreciate you early adopters and have done my best to grandfather you in. Unfortunately if you delete the app from your device I have no way of knowing that you are an early adopter, so please don't delete me! Of course, if you really just want to say "thank you," you can still purchase the Pro upgrade :-)
Wow, that's a lot. It took several months and countless hours. I hope you enjoy the new features. Contact me through the Feedback section of the app or on Twitter @chimesquirrel to give me feedback, feature requests, and bugs.
