Love-O-Matic 2.0
12/12/09 22:52
Love-O-Matic 2.0 has been approved for the app store to a great reception. New features are in app email, less invasive ads and storing and organising favourites.
We got 20,000 new users on the first day, so a nice haul. Most of this is thanks to the wonderful guys at MagicSolver who made Advent Calendar 2009 which I was featured in on the 9th. This tied in beautifully with the release of my update on the same day!
In response to all the negative reviews that give it one star or rip into it for a low score between two people, please may I remind all this thing is a bit of fun, it’s not to be taken seriously. When testing Love-O-Matic on groups people found it a laugh and that’s why it exists! How do you think horoscopes work?
I encourage anyone to contact me directly with anything they think that should be amended in the next version but I think we have a pretty polished product in its current state.
I have a few ideas for future additional features when I have time, at the moment I’m working on a couple of projects. One for an external contractor and another Drizz project in a completely different direction.
Thank you tremendously to everyone who has used Love-O-Matic, your support is actually helping me pay my college loan as I go.

Love-O-Matic 1.1, 1.1.1 and Upcoming Projects
07/04/09 12:45
So 1.1 came out about two weeks ago. Features some new features like email and analysis. But an error which was not picked up by the simulator running 2.0 was the main view would not load. So this resulted in some upset users. Not to worry after about an hour of bug hunting I found the culprit and repaired this issue. Also I have redone the artwork in places to make it a little more flashy. Please let me know if there is something you think should be added I will address it personally.
With Love-O-Matic pretty much there I have started another project down the same lines as Love-O-Matic which should be done in a week or so.
On top of this I have a Mac program which I will quickly refine and flick up called “Capitalization”. One of my co-workers got frustrated trying to drop down sentences to their appropriate cases so I made him a quick cocoa program to do this. Of course there are other ways of doing it, but it’s free so who’s complaining. Again if when it comes out there is something which is missing feature wise please get in touch with me!
Finally I have a big iPhone app in development which is completely different from my others which I hope to get done in the next couple of months.
Cheers,
Sam

1.0.1 Released and 1.1 in the works
07/03/09 18:36
Hi all,
This is a bit late, but 1.0.1 has been out for a week or so. I’m seeming some promising download numbers since that occurred
I know it’s a simple application but I’m learning as I go as I’ve clearly stipulated before (believe it or not I have some pretty good ideas for future apps, I just wanna be able to do them justice.
Anyhow, version 1.1 has been submitted to Apple and contains a few pretty cool changes:
- Unicode support in the algorithm, opps I screwed that up, sorry everyone who got 0s constantly, it’ll now properly count that passion!
- Analysis, yes it will now decipher what that score means in a couple of sentences.
- Email, it will now throw your result and analysis into an email ready for friends and family to check out.
I have a couple of other nifty things in the cooker for future apps, fiddling with the accelerometer is fun
Haere ra!
