Update 1.3.2 of Paper Pile fixed a connection bug and introduced a little error which caused the app to set all article release dates to January 1st, 1970 which of course messed up the page layout. Luckily, I could fix this without creating an app update. So have fun with it now.
Major update 2.0 of News Wall for iPhone and iPad has been submitted to Apple’s review team. Even though it is the first update of the app it deserves being a major update. Here are the most important changes:
News Wall Free now runs both on the iPhone and the iPad. It displays ads and has some limitations when it comes to social sharing.
The update will hit the App Store during the next day. Feel free to contact me (you can do this directly in the app now).
Apple just approved Paper Pile’s update to version 1.3.2. Running on iOS 4.2 the app crashes when trying to fetch new stories. This update fixes the issue.
During the next weeks, Paper Pile will get a new feed fetching core which is incredible fast. It will debut as part of the next News Wall update in a few days.
After updating your iPad to iOS 4.2 you’ll notice that Paper Pile crashes when updating feeds. This happens because of a bug at the XML-RPC framework the app uses. I’ll fix this and submit the update to Apple as soon as possible. I apologize for the time you cannot use Paper Pile.
Grant Holzhauser wrote a review about Paper Pile at padvance.com. It’s does not rate the app very good, I grant, but Grant mentions a bad bug that makes article texts get rendered strange. I focused on this and fixed it. Now the good news, you do not need to update the app.
To enjoy the new handling you simply need to refresh your pages. If the pages do not get re-created (because there are no new articles) please restart the app.
Apple just approved Paper Pile’s update. The updates includes several fixes and optimizations. It will be available in the App Store within 24 hours. All users are welcome to give feedback.
Meanwhile the development on better page management and polished UI elements started.
