We are delighted to introduce a significant update for the Coordinates app on iOS - Version 8.0, featuring these exciting new highlights:
Quick Action Menu
As our apps become more feature-rich, maintaining the app's simplicity has become increasingly challenging. Fortunately, we've devised a solution. Instead of requiring users to navigate deep into the app to execute common tasks, we have streamlined the organization of these tasks, making them easily accessible and user-friendly.
To access the menu, please press this icon.
This approach enables us to keep expanding our feature set, including those that may not be frequently used, such as the Transform Coordinates menu, all while preventing clutter on the main screen, especially on smaller devices.
Furthermore, some features are better suited as external applications, and we have thoughtfully included links to these apps as well!
Speedometer
Inside our app, we've incorporated a speedometer feature that provides real-time information on speed, course direction, and their corresponding accuracy levels.
Upgraded compass
We have enhanced the compass by adding more information, including the heading to the north and the selected pin. You can now customize the visibility of the compass through options in the settings menu.
This wraps up version 8.0, but more exciting features are on the horizon. Please don't hesitate to suggest ideas via the contact form.
What about the Android version?
We have always been aware of Android lagging behind in terms of development. Our goal is to bring it on par with the iOS version someday.
However, we have noticed that we receive fewer messages through our form regarding the Android version. While we receive numerous messages from iOS users, it helps us prioritize our efforts. So, if you wish to see more features and updates for Android, please send us a message to let us know you're out there!
Since we introduced numerous updates for iOS in September, we will temporarily shift our focus away from the iOS version. Starting this October, we will finally be able to dedicate more attention to the Android version.
Our primary focus will be resolving the persistent crash issues in the Android version. Afterward, we will gradually introduce the same features from iOS to the Android version.
Thank you for reading, and we wish you a pleasant Q4.
