webNotes 1.4 is on the way!

With iOS6 out and the iPhone 5 is on the way, this update makes sure that webNotes works well with both.

webNotes 1.3 is out!

webNotes 1.3 addresses a  bug that I've heard about from a few people that prevents them from seeing their notes and crashes the app when they try. I've heard about it from a few people and finally was able to get some crucial information about it (thanks Glenn!).

It seems that some note tags (folders) that are formatted differently from the ones that I saw while testing and that apparently most people have, and I wasn't handling that case well. I've added support for those tag types, and it should be good to go. I think in the interim, for anyone who cannot view their notes, try this:

• Go to Settings 
• Turn off the "Show note tags" option

Since this is a bug in the display of the tags, I think disabling them until the updated version is approved in in the App Store should solve the problem.

webNotes 1.2 is out!

webNotes 1.2 addresses a few bugs:

• The "Add notes" button often disappears when re-entering the notes view. This has been corrected
•  The web image and the loose-leaf background was a bit distracting, and so it's gone

One other thing to note is that for reasons that are unclear to me, Ubuntu One's notes sync service is unresponsive every so often, which will result in synchronization failure. At first I thought it was on my end, but it was affecting Tomboy as well the last time I noticed it. When this happens, unfortunately, all we can do is wait for the service to come back online and sync then.

 

webNotes 1.1

Version 1.1 brings bug fixes and login improvements. 

• There was an issue with a crash when in an area with poor network connectivity that should be fixed in this release
• The login screen gives more feedback when login errors occur

Introducing webNotes

webNotes is a simple note-taking application for iOS that syncs with Ubuntu One's notes service. It is compatible with the text formatting and tags (folders) of the Tomboy desktop client, and offers a number of ways to handle syncing. With Tomboy, you can view your notes on all of your computers running OS X, Linux, or Windows.

This is my first iPhone application, so I'm sure there will be things to be corrected, added, or changed as I get feedback and learn more, so please send problems, suggestions, or anything else, to aardvark.software.co@gmail.com. I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Adam
