My CodeMash - updated for 2014

Software, Apps

New and improved! Well OK it’s not new and how much it has improved is your opinion. But a new version has been published in the app store. You can get it here.

There is a WP7 version that has been adapted to the 2014 data feed and includes some bug fixes. This is a maintenance release to enable those stuck on WP7 to continue to use the app. I’m not sure how many people are stuck but I don’t want to assume that everyone has been able to upgrade their phones.

The WP8 version includes some new features:

  • Calendar integration.

  • Scrolls to the correct day and next session time when precompilers or sessions are opened.

  • When editing a session it remains in view when returning to the list. Due to the way WP7 handles pivot items I was never able to get this to work. A couple of methods are available in WP8 that make it possible.

Live tiles didn’t make the cut this year, primarily because I ran out of time. I will probably add it at some point in the future. I think calendar integration is a reasonable alternative for now.

As I said last year please take the time to review the app. I didn’t put any annoying “rate me” screens in the app but for those of us who take the time to write and publish free apps reviews are the only reward. You can review the app and/or leave comments and suggestions for me through the “About” page in the app. Or leave comments here or through the contact page. I’d appreciate any feedback, especially regarding My CodeMash vs the official EventBoard app. I’m trying to decide if this app needs to exist since there is an official app.
