NewEndian Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Hello again. I submitted updates for both LectroRM and FreqFinder and wanted to let you know what they're all about. The majority of changes are purely cosmetic (as is iOS7). The UI for both incorporates iOS7's new stock widgets. Personally, I rather liked the old look, but the new look isn't so bad either (even though a lot needed to be updated to make the apps compatible with iOS7.) The biggest thing to know though is that before the app updates actually hit the app store, iOS7 users will have an issue with the naming and custom frequency dialogs in FreqFinder and the info dialog in LectroRM. iOS7 has a compatibility mode for most everything else, but not those custom dialog boxes. It was a pain to get it to work also. Anyway, if you can hold out on updating to iOS7, great. Otherwise hopefully the updates will be approved sooner than later. There are some bug fixes. I couldn't pinpoint the particular problem that lead to a few users experiencing rampant crashing, but I made some improvements to the code where it could be caused, so hopefully it helps. The only other thing to note is that LectroRM now has a memory for Audio Level and Channel! I was a bit wary of increasing the complexity of LectroRM, but I think I found a simple and elegant way to add it to the app without decreasing usability. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy.

RPSharman Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Thanks. I have not upgraded yet. Please let us know when it's all set. Great programs. Use them both all the time. Can't imagine being without them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmfreak Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I am about to get an iphone over the next couple of weeks and buy both apps. Guess my only option is to just get the "wobbly" iOS7 version ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I'm on a 5s now and haven't had any issues with RM yet. Haven't tried FF yet though. Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJackson Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 On the topic of making LectroRM more complex... Have you thought of making a queue system? Like, for example, being able to select an audio level, frequency, and power, or any combination, and play them all one after another. Just something I've wished for every now and then, another way to speed things up. Maybe I'm just slow at navigating all the on/off, change setting menus for multiple setting changes.

NewEndian Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Both apps just updated. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great idea! And to expand on it, there could be a set of commands per transmitter. So, when I go to tx1 (on actor 1), it'll play all three (or however many) tones, then on to tx2, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEndian Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I'm sorry to say that a queuing mode is not on the agenda of programming I have lined up. How are people finding the new updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are people finding the new updates? But to your customers you should always say what a great idea, there are more pressing issues niw, but I will try to implement it asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEndian Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I most certainly always welcome user feedback and ideas. Respectfully, I'm afraid it is not within my vision for LectroRM. In particular, I believe in keeping LectroRM simple and focused, and I was able to find a way to add memory to LectroRM whilst minimally increasing complexity. I do not believe I could do so with a queuing system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsmyles Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 I noticed a while ago but forgot to email you the question, last time I used FreqFinder (under ios6 on an iPad) the TV station location/signal strength info was gone again. I know we did talk about this a while back when it first disappeared. I remember you said it was just straight info from the FCC database but I did find it helpful to know which freqs I should probably avoid. Thoughts?

NewEndian Posted September 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Hi Tony. I agree signal strength is vital. Really the main feature of TVDB. Taking this to PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
