Sorry it’s been a whiles guys – University life has been busy. Aiming for a First is no pushover job. Anyway, as luck would have it, I’m stuck in an examination / revision period, so not a lot of time to work on Springy right now.

But, fear not – progress on Springy! 1.7 is well underway!

The current list if updates and fixes include:

  • Entire backend rewritten for faster downloads and upto 40% less data downloads (typically between 5-15%), saving you time and money!
  • Automatic Login
  • Haptic Feedback now works on all devices
  • Fixed URL parsing crashes
  • You can now block users & report spam from the inbox
  • Performance improvements to “my profile” loading
  • Ability to delete from inbox overview using context menus
  • Fixed random crashes with malformed profile images
  • Lots of other small things.

Before the update hits, I’m also planning on adding in the following:

  • Improved readability of questions & answers with full screen-width reading area
  • Image uploading
  • Inline image viewing
  • Block users from inbox context menu
  • “Answer this question” feature, to send any question your friends have answered to your inbox
  • Show date on full Question / Answer view.

Unfortunately, as my examination period creeps into the month of May slightly, be on the lookout update to be hitting your phones some time in early May.

See ya round guys, and enjoy the app!
