Lifelike Alarm Clock and Weather HD – iPadmodo Review and iTunes Link
- Fixed iOS 4.2 compatibility issue
- Fixed rating prompt issue
iFitness HD – iTunes Link
- Made several updates for our new Food Tracker feature including support for custom foods, quick add with all nutrients, editing of records, and various bug fixes that caused crashes for some users.
- Additionally, this update contains 30 new exercise videos. With the future updates, we are looking to bring more videos and exercises, while simultaneously building on the app’s existing feature set.
GoodReader for iPad – iTunes Link
- iOS 4.2 compatibility (multitasking support)
- new PDF displaying engine – zooming/panning is a lot smoother now
- “Repair a PDF File” feature. Some damaged files that previously caused GoodReader to display an “Unknown PDF Error” message (and could not be annotated for that matter), can now be automatically repaired.
- support for 256-bit AES encryption in PDF files (iOS 4.2 or later)
- fixed the issue when annotations created in GoodReader were missing when printing files later from a computer (you’ll need to somehow modify old annotations to fix them, any modification – placement, color, etc. – will make them “printable”)
- accented European characters are now stored correctly in PDF notes (old damaged characters won’t be fixed automatically, so you’ll need to manually re-enter those characters in old notes)
- Redo button in freehand drawing mode
- freehand drawing tool now allows to zoom and pan a page with two fingers, useful for long handwritten notes that do not fit on one screen
- freehand drawing tool now recognizes single taps as dots – no more circles when drawing the “i” letter
- freehand drawing tool now works much faster on pages containing a large number of annotations
- menus for annotating PDFs can now be accessed when VGA adapter is connected (“sticky notes” popups will still not be displayed on an external display for now, but this will be fixed soon)
- servers with untrusted certificates can now be visited in built-in browser
- servers with popup authentication windows can now be visited in built-in browser
