What's new in Version 2.4.4
v2.4.4
Today we present you with the first even Pocket Weather OCD Edition(TM) Update:
- Fixed the 1 pixel gap between the find me and the radar time on 3G and 3GS phones (this one is for you markh of whingepool, and the 3 other people that pointed it out, you know who you are)
- Added a splash screen ("I can't bare to stare into the black abyss for the second it takes to load this app" you said "I feel the abyss staring back into my soul, and examing my innermost thoughts" others quipped "The blackness of the void made me re-examine my core belief system". Ok we made that last one up, but those first two are actual quotes from you fine people, our customers...and you think WE'RE the funny ones. Right-o.)
- fixed one grammatical error, but inserted another...and we're not even going to tell you where...it will keep you awake for DAYS!
- Fixed the labels in the settings area having a teeency bit of a different background colour than the cells themselves.
- Fixed an orientation issue under iOS 5 when adding new locations...ok so that one was just us. LOOK SQUIRREL ----->
v2.4.3
- Fix for TIDEPOCALYPSE! See like the mayans we too assumed the moon would blow up, and so we didn't provide tides for 2012, even hard-coding 2012 as the end date FOR ALL TIDES
....
Turns out we were wrong, so here you go, tides for 2012. Same time next year for the 2013 TIDEPOCALYPSE?
