v1.9 Live on App Store

2011-12-03T22:28:00.001Z

We decided to skip over v1.8. It was originally intended to only fix a couple of non critical bugs when running on iOS 5, but then we decided to push on and upgrade with some of the most requested features. So please welcome v1.9.....

New Features and Changes in v1.9:
- Full Retina Display Graphics
- Guests can now be easily moved between Just Evening and All Day lists - Press and hold on guest for menu option to move to other list.
- All built in Business modules have a Notes section - to make specific notes about the business. (These notes are also visible and can be edited in the quick view notes on home screen).
- Quick Photo viewer on home screen is now free scrolling (and much more user friendly)
- Full Screen Photo now behaves likes 'Photos' App - Pinch to Zoom , rotate, etc…
- Eliminated Redundant sections in Inspiration and News
- Gifts can now be marked as 'thanked' by press and hold.
- Pin Code to prevent access to Bride's Dress Section (i.e. prevent access to info + pics about dress - but not budget data).

iOS5 only additions for v1.9- Export to Email of General and Scheduled Todo Lists
- Export to Email of Notes
- iOS Twitter Integration

Fixes and Compatibility updates for iOS 5 for v1.9- Fixed Duplicated Address Book Entries when iCloud Active
- Fixed 'Tap again to cancel' on Home To-do List
- Fixed Quick Setup Appearance issues for text entry
- Fixed Scheduled Todo List Issues
- Fixed Custom Color Picker Layout
- Fixed Naming error in Gift List when Ordered by Gift
- Fixed Random Crash when attempting to create custom business module
- Broken Facebook integration removed (will likely return in future release)
- other small general bug fixes

So where is iCloud support? We are currently testing iCloud support and intend to release v2.0 (with iCloud support) as soon as possible. We will need some beta testers to try a build or two before the full release. If you would be interested in becoming an iWedding Deluxe beta-tester then please drop us an email at info@iweddingdeluxe.com and we will add you to our list of potential beta testers.

v1.8 Coming Soon

2011-10-22T12:08:00.000+01:00

Update v1.8 will be submitted to Apple ASAP. It will address a couple of minor cosmetic issues with iOS5.

We have also yet to receive any specific reports of problems with iOS5 compatibility for currently available v1.7 - please let us know if you have find any issues or problems.

v1.70 - live on App Store

2010-11-28T13:34:00.002Z

Update available which fixes the error in Quick setup on iOS4.2

v1.65 Update Live in App Store

2010-10-28T18:55:00.001+01:00

iOS4 improvements
High Resolution Home Screen Icon for iPhone 4.

v1.61 update - Fixes Home Screen Bug

2010-09-22T23:15:00.001+01:00

1.61 going live now. Fixes the Home screen Bug which caused our Placeholder name to remain on show. A Massive thank you is needed to the Apple iTunes App Review Team for pushing this critical update in < 24 hours.

v1.6 approved but Has a Bug!!!

2010-09-21T07:47:00.000+01:00

1.6 went live 12 hours ago. We fixed lots of issues with name sorting and arrangement in guest lists and home screen but unfortunately introduced an odd home screen bug! If the groom name (second name entered) is from 'Contacts' then the name getting set on the top name label - leaving the placeholder name that we use in the bottom label - Victoria !

Replacing the Groom with a 'Just a Name' entry instead of a 'Contacts' will solve the issue but we have pushed a fix to Apple already.

Apologies,

v1.6 Submitted for Approval

2010-09-13T15:29:00.000+01:00

This update addresses inconsistent display of guest names in all lists and emails. We have always tried to respect the user preferences for Contacts app about whether names from contacts app should display First+Last or Last+First. We are now going to respect this option across the whole application EXCEPT on the home screen.

From now on, in respect to user preferences of 'Contacts' app display order:

1. Names of bride and groom on the home screen will now always be displayed as FIrstname + Lastname (ignoring user preferences)

2. Names entered as 'Just a Name' will now display by taking into account the user preferences. This gives a more uniform and predictable guest list display.

3. Multi Guest picker lists now respect the user preferences.

4. Emails exported for guest lists now respect order preferences.

On first Twitter login, a test tweet is no longer sent.

Other Minor Bug Fixes.

v1.55 Live in App Store

2010-07-26T23:41:00.001+01:00

Fixes label in multiple import screen in invited all day.

Also disables indexed multiple import screen for Non-english devices. The indexed import screen was introduced in last update but found to miss some contacts out that began with non English letters. Reverts to original non indexed screen for these languages.

Button is Labelled incorrectly in v1.52

2010-07-18T19:30:00.000+01:00

When a user chooses to Import guest names 'from iPhone Contacts' in 'Invited All Day' - a screen slides up allowing the multiple selection of names for import. Unfortunately the Button on the bottom of the screen to import the selected names is incorrectly labelled - It states - 'Import to Just the Evening Guest List' - It should read 'Import to Invited All Day Guest List' . The button works as intended and does import to the Invited All Day list. We will be pushing another update to Apple ASAP to correct this issue.

iWedding Deluxe v1.52 - Live on App Store

2010-07-16T18:30:00.003+01:00

We have just received word from Apple that v1.52 has been approved and will be available on the App Store shortly.

Bugs Fixed

Feature Enhancement

We have recently spotted a couple of reviews on iTunes that mention bugs (in guest list?)??

Unfortunately, we have not received any bug reports at all, since the v1.51 update (which is iOS4 compliant).

We are always looking to improve our app and bugs need to be squashed!!

But we need to know where to look to get rid of them.

Please help us find some of the more sneaky bugs and tell us the how, when and where they happen so that they can be fixed ASAP.

Next Update....coming soon

2010-03-13T11:16:00.002Z

- Adding a way to easily add a '+1' guest to 'Invited All Day' guests from the addition menu.

It will be a shortcut in performing this recommended method - Helpful Tip #1. We are going to give you an extra choice when adding a guest to 'Invited All Day' list - ' add '+1' to current guest ' . Tapping this new choice will present a list of all guests currently in the 'Invited All Day' list. When you choose a guest, iWedding Deluxe will copy the First and Last Name of the chosen guest, it then adds - 's +1 - to the end of the last name. Next, it will copy the current Invited, RSVP, Attending and Reception Table Number details and finally adds this new guest to your list. When you know or find out the name of the +1, you can alter by tapping the small blue arrow on the right side. All you will really need to do as an extra is set their appropriate meal choice.

- The countdown to the wedding day shown on the Home page / Invitation will be changing to a 'Live' countdown for the last Month before the set wedding date. - i.e. 26 days 17h 34m 34secs

Please send us any ideas for feature additions or updates to this email address.

iWedding Deluxe v1.4 Live on App Store

2010-03-11T07:44:00.001Z

v1.4 went live today - No Major new features - its a general performance and bug fix update

- Performance Issue: All Guest List scrolling much improved

- Performance Issue: Inspiration Images have always needed to be loaded each time from Internet - App now keeps a cached copy of all inspiration images to improve viewing experience.

- Fixed: Export Email bug which caused guests who were ‘Not Yet Placed on Table’ to not be listed on Reception and Rehearsal email.

- Fixed: To-do list crash bug if a combination of dates not set within 'The Details' section.

To-do List Bug causing crash!!

2010-03-08T22:28:00.004Z

We have had a couple of scattered reports over the last month of the To-do list randomly crashing but then seemingly fixing itself. We think we have figured out why!

A crash will definitely occur is these 2 circumstances:

1. When the 'Hair' module is used - and you set the date for 'Second Practice' without setting the date for 'Final Practice'

2. When the 'Dress' module is used - and you set the 'Final Fitting Date' without setting the 'Collection Date'.

Therefore the interim solutions are either - to 'Swipe to Reset' the dates for 'Second Practice' and 'Final Fitting Date' - or respectively add the 'Final Practice Date' or 'Collection Date'

The list was appearing to fix itself because users were inadvertently adding the 'Final Practice Date' or 'Collection Date' and working round the error themselves without realising.

This will be fixed in the next update 1.4 which we submitted today.

UPDATED: we have already received reports that these steps do fix the issue of the T0-do list shutting down after a couple of seconds. A big Thank you to our user Nicky M, for her help in tracking down this problem.

iWedding Deluxe v1.3 live on App Store

2010-02-25T23:20:00.003Z

Apple have truly pulled out all the stops for us with this update - it was approved in less than 24 hours!! A big thank you to the app review team at Apple.

v1.3 should be available in all regions very soon.

It includes:

- a fix for the Twitter log in problem which appeared yesterday

- TweetPhoto integration to allow upload of photos and auto post of tweet with link.

- Facebook integration - Users can now upload photos to facebook photo album, post to their wall about inspiration items, blog news articles and major planning milestones.

- Fixed: guest list guest counting bug on 'The People' main page.

Update v1.3 Submitted for Approval

2010-02-24T23:42:00.004Z

Apologies for the quick succession of updates but due to the change in Twitter today which has broken the Twitter Log in for iWedding Deluxe - we have submitted a fix to Apple today - v1.3. This update includes a fix for a guest list counting bug on 'The People' and also several other major additions which we have been working on. We will reveal more when update goes live - hopefully very, very soon.

Thank you for your patience while we wait for Apple to approve this update.

Twitter Problem

2010-02-24T18:07:00.002Z

It appears that a change was made by Twitter today which has caused our twitter login to show a Screen in error.

The screen may say 'You've successfully granted access to iWedding Deluxe! Simply return to iWedding Deluxe and enter the following PIN to complete the process'.

We do/did not intend you to have to perform these steps - they are usually automatic and performed in the background. If you see this screen simply tap cancel to exit the twitter login and you can continue to use iWedding Deluxe - BUT we recommend you deactivate the Twitter integration in the 'Settings' app until we can publish an update as it will ask you to attempt to log in twitter every time you open the app.

If you have already logged in before the problem you should be able to continue using twitter.

Example of screen:

Update out ASAP

The Email Bug bites back

2010-02-23T17:38:00.004Z

We recently released an update which addressed a bug in our Export Guest List Emails. This bug showed up if a guest was marked as Confirmed, the Attending Switch on YES, and then the RSVP was switched to NO but without first setting the Attending switch back to NO. Our filters got themselves a little confused - but in v1.2 that was all fixed.

Unfortunately, it appears that the same little bug also affects the Totals that are displayed on 'The People' section - particularly the 'Master Guest List' and 'Invited All Day' totals. So to ensure that the totals are indeed correct, just do the same as for the previous bug and make sure the Attending switch is set back to NO before setting the RSVP switch back to NO,

Fix already complete and will be available in the upcoming v1.3 update which should be coming very soon.

A big thank you goes out to one of our brides to be, Pippa, who helped so much in finding this bug.

Regards

Dave Roberts

Helpful Tip #3 - Meal Options

2010-02-19T17:30:00.004Z

We recently received an interesting question asking whether we could add the option to add more meal choices for each guest - E.g. a starter choice as well as a main.

When we designed iWedding Deluxe we thought long and hard about the meal options and given the research numbers that we had available - i.e. for how many meal options that people usually have at their wedding.... it is apparently 2 different starters and 2 different mains - Therefore we felt it would be easier to simple give the user the ability to add anything they wanted. So with a little 'out the box' thinking - it is possible to add several different combinations - e.g. the meal options could read:-

'Melon - Vegetarian'

'Soup - Chicken'

'Melon - Chicken'

'Soup - Vegetarian'

There are many possibilities but you normally find that most guests fall into particular and repeatable choice categories.

Hope the planning is going well,

iWedding Deluxe Support Team.

Helpful Tip #2

2010-01-13T20:54:00.003Z

For our second helpful blog tip, we thought we might shed some light on how the guest lists work. In essence, there is actually only 1 big list - the 'Master Guest List' and we simply filter this list into the other lists to make for easier viewing.

For Guests added from iPhone 'Contacts' App -

When you add someone to the Wedding Party, they will also appear on the 'Invited All Day' list but instead of the small sun icon there is a bride, groom or 'WP' icon to enable quick identification of these type of guests.
If someone is already on the 'Invited All Day' list and you then decide to make them a bridesmaid - you can simply add them to wedding party section and they will be changed, without needing to delete them and add them again.
So Guests can be "moved" onto different lists by simply adding them to the new list without needing to delete them from the old list.

For Guests added as 'Just the Name' -

They are always assumed to be a new Guest - this allows the recording of 2 guests with the same name (if you really wanted to). Therefore, to move these type of guests, you need to delete them from one list and add them back again to the other.

Important Note: When you select people from the 'Contacts' app, iWedding Deluxe only reads and copies the name and a reference number to that contact into the app. iWedding Deluxe does not contain any code whatsoever that can alter or delete any of your iPhone contacts.

Hope this helps,

Email Guest List Bug - a Solution

2010-01-05T19:56:00.007Z

THIS BUG HAS BEEN FIXED IN v1.2.

There is a bug in v1.1 that only shows up in particular circumstances. (as briefly described in one of the US iTunes reviews)

The generated email seems to sometimes only list those people who have been marked as Invited, RSVP and Confirmed or a few other combinations. It would appear on first glance to randomly leave some people off the email. There is actually a simple explanation which can be avoided until we provide a solution in our next update.

The problem occurs when a unexpected combination of Yes and No is recorded for the 3 - Invited, RSVP and Confirmed switches.

What we have found is that if a choice is set to a 'Yes' AND it is not currently visible....it will cause the bug. For example , if you have previously marked a person as Invited, RSVP and Attending to 'YES' BUT then slide the top 'Invited' switch to 'NO' (causing the other options / rows to disappear) then the email filter is getting confused as the RSVP'd and Confirmed are still recorded in the background as 'YES' (this is an intended saving state function). So, if you are backtracking on invites, please ensure that you set the others to 'NO' and they should show up in email correctly.

We would like to say a big Thank You to our helpful and friendly user - Jaclyn, for helping us to debug and locate this issue.

Regards

Can you help with iWedding Deluxe?

2010-01-05T07:30:00.000Z

Dear iWedding Deluxe users,

A recent study by Flurry, an iPhone analytics company, found that iPhone apps only have a 15% user retention rate. After 2 months, we are currently showing a user retention rate of 86%.

This is a hugh number which shows that users love the app and are using it daily. We are very pleased to announce that, up to now, we have not received a single crash report from Apple. We have also not received many suggestions for more features.

These 3 points actually present an odd situation....... as we don't know what to do next to improve or change the app and as our users are not uninstalling the app very often then not many users have actually rated the app in iTunes.

So how can you help iWedding Deluxe?

1. We need your suggestions for new features.

2. We would like to hear if there are any other apps that you like the user interface for or if there is a certain part of iWedding Deluxe that needs aesthetic improvement.

3. We need everyone who is using the app to take a minute and go to iTunes and either rate it, 5 stars would be great ;-) , or even leave a quick review.

We are currently working on integrating more Inspiration sections to bring you even more ideas for your big day.

Your support is greatly appreciated and thank you for purchasing iWedding Deluxe,

Wishing you All the Best and a Happy New Year,

Regards

Dave Roberts

Helpful Tip #1

2010-01-05T04:04:00.002Z

Recently we have received a number of emails asking some very similar questions. So we thought we might use this opportunity to pass on the answers as some more useful Hints and Tips. So here is tip #1:

Question: How do you record an extra guest / unknown 'Plus 1' when they are 'Invited All Day'?

Our recommended method for adding an extra guest to 'Invited All Day' guests is achieved by using some slightly 'outside the box' thinking.

For example, if you have a guest - ' John Smith' - and you wish to add their unknown guest or 'Plus 1' then there is no immediately obvious solution like you find when the guest is a 'Just the Evening' guest (i.e. a row in their details called 'No of extra guests'). This is not a design flaw. We considered this situation at length and decided that the ability to record an individual's meal choice for the 'Plus 1' was a necessity.

So the 'outside the box' solution is:

1. add a guest using the 'with Just the Name' option.

2. First name: 'John' and Last name: ' Smith's +1'.

This method allows the separate recording of a meal option for each day guest.

When you know the name of the 'Plus 1' you could simply change or edit it by tapping directly on the blue arrow on the end of the row to enter editing mode and edit the name.

Hope that helps,

Regards
