New version of E6B Gizmo

I’ve submitted an upgrade of E6B Gizmo, version 1.1, to the Windows Phone Marketplace which should go live shortly (I’ll keep you posted).  It just contains a couple of little bug fixes, but the big news is that I’ve made it completely free!  There are no ads either…it’s just a free app now that I want as many people as possible to try out and hopefully enjoy.  If you do check it out, please give me feedback.

I was thinking that I might give it a fully functioning trial so that if someone wanted to purchase it to throw me a couple bones, they could, but if not anyone can use it fully functional, forever, as a trial.  I decided to just make it free because many people would probably assume it was limited in some way, and I don’t want that.  It’s more important to me to get it out there for people to use than to make a little lunch money.

Interestingly, the guys over at WP7 Lab highlighted E6B Gizmo on their site today.  They must have caught wind of the new pricing.  Here is there post:  http://wp7lab.com/news/e6b-gizmo/

Tailwinds, everyone.

9993

Large-PC-App-TileWell, my first Windows Phone 7 app has been certified and accepted into the Windows Phone Marketplace today.  For more information on the app, see my post from earlier this week.

It turns out my app, E6B Gizmo, is the 9,993rd application in the marketplace.  I was aiming for 10,000th which may get hit yet today, but missed it by 7 apps.  Ah, well; I was close.

In any case, if you have a Windows Phone 7, check out the app here.  If you just want to read more about it, check out the listing on WindowsPhoneAppList.com (a pretty cool website, actually).  In case anyone is wondering, it took only two days to get accepted and go through the certification process.  I submitted on Wednesday, and by Friday evening it was approved and in the marketplace.  Granted, it’s a pretty simple app to certify, but it was fairly painless and easy.

Now that it’s published, I’ve already got some things to do for the first update.  I’ve already found a small bug that needs to get squashed, so that’s first.  Then I want to add a trial mode so people can try it out before committing to buy it.  The next thing after that will likely be a feature that will automatically save the last entries on each screen.  It shouldn’t take too long to get these done…so hopefully there will be an update out shortly.

If you’re using the app…please give me feedback (either through the app itself or here directly) on what you would like to see next.
