I’ve submitted version 1.5.1 of Birthdays to the Apple app store. Here’s the list of changes

- Fixed the (null) when a contact is present with a blank first or last name (hat tip to Daniel for reporting this).

- Fixed a few memory leaks

- Turned off the gloss effects for the application icon

- Updated to the correct version number in the about box

Thanks for your support! There’s more to come, stay tuned.

Things might be quiet on this blog, but we’ve been slowly working on an update to Birthdays version 1.5. It has the following updates:

• iOS 4.0 compatible. It supports multitasking, meaning that when you switch back to Birthdays it is exactly where you left off.
• During that switch in we update the list of birthdays from your address book, so the people, dates and times of birthdays are always up-to-date.
• Birthdays now uses local notifications to alert you of someone’s birthday. The date of the birthday you will get a notification at 9am your time. You will also get a  notification 5 days before someone’s birthday, to give you time to consider what you are going to do to help celebrate it.

The previous release to to this one added a group at the beginning of the birthdays table that lists birthdays that happened in the past two weeks.

Thank you for your support and your feedback!

We’ve just finished submitting our next application for the iPhone OS – Birthdays.

The whole point of this application is to have a quick way to see which of your friend’s birthdays is coming up and to have an easy way to wish them a happy birthday.

We hope you enjoy it, and look forward to any feedback you might have once it’s available for sale.

Update: It’s available for sale! It will be a few hours before it is available in all the stores, but that was less than 48 hours turn around for a new application!! Way to go Apple!

Howdy,

Yes, we are still around. We’ve just been very busy working on a new iPhone application – one that has a more broad appeal to users. More details before the end of the year, and hopefully an easy application approval by Apple.

Pregnancy

Our application Pregnancy still sells a small amount every week, we do thank you for the support. We’ve got a few more small things planned for it, but we are going to keep it small and simple. As always, please send any requests to support at chromedomesoftware.com.

Hello all – I wanted to put a quick note saying work is slowly progressing on Pregnancy 2.0.

The major new feature is the ability to track multiple pregnancies, for your friends or perhaps yourself in a few years.

Stay tuned…

Hello all,

Tonight we’ve submitted version 1.1.1 to the application store, with a simple addition – the ability to email the notes you take during the pregnancy to yourself. Basically a form of exporting the data in the application.

It’s the best we can do with no support from Apple for exporting your data from your iPhone or iPod touch.

I expect it will show up by the middle of next week, so keep an eye out for it.. and thanks for your continuing support!

Update: 14 hours later it’s appeared in the store.. great turn around Apple!

You might be wondering what’s next with Pregnancy? One thing I want to get out soon is the ability to email notes to yourself, basically a form of export functionality. If you have any thoughts on how it should work, please leave a comment.

The other one is to support tracking of multiple pregnancies – this is because our sister – in – law is now expecting her first child in mid-july.

So.. thanks for your support so far, we are still around, working on Pregnancy, slowly but surely. We’re in this iPhone development party for the long haul.

And.. we do have some plans for some Macintosh software that hasn’t been done yet, at least the way we’d like it to be done.

We’re pleased to announce that Pregnancy 1.1 is available from the application store! We’ve found some time between our daytime jobs and taking care of our young child to add the ability to add notes about the pregnancy you are tracking.

And the detail view:

More info is available at our product page. Thank you for your continued support!

We’d like to announce the availability of Pregnancy, our small application that allows you to track your pregnancy or a friends. Check it out on the application store here.

What’s next? We’ve got two more features planned for the next version, one small and one large. If you have any suggestions for it, please leave us a comment.

Thanks!

Welcome to ChromeDome Software. Coming soon, our first small iPhone application.
