Release Notes

Release Notes

• Improved compatibility with iOS 5.
• Fixed issue with inline photos (Twitpic, yfrog, etc.)
• Updated Twitter icons.
• Minor improvements and bug fixes.

A new lick of pixel paint

We were planning to save this until Momento 3, but decided to unleash our new app icon early. It’s an small enhancement which many may not have noticed. We’ve been careful not to detract from our original brand but just improve to what we feel better represents Momento.

We have improved the day view making it easier to read by clearing a few visual elements and opening up some spacing so you can focus on the content. There’s also been some minor enhancements to the icons and graphics throughout the application to give it a more polished look, especially on retina displays.

Tidier tags

If you’ve noticed a typo in a tag, found tags which are too similar or had a friend change their name, you will be pleased to know your tags can be corrected. Momento now allows you to edit, merge and delete tags so you can at last have a tidy up!

Improved places

We have improved places so they now consist of a name and full address. This will allow you to put in more accurate information which paves the way for some enhancements we’ll be implementing in the near future. In addition we have changed the browsing of place tags to speed up locating a tag quickly. You are now presented with a complete list of places from which you can quickly jump to and select.

Facebook check-ins

A much requested feed is now available. Facebook check-ins are a great way to record where you are and who you are with.

Full release notes

• Tag editing, deleting and merging.
• New and improved graphics, including day view and app icon.
• Facebook check-in support.
• Improved places – now supports place names and full addresses.
• Localised sorting and grouping of tag lists.
• Manage feeds from within the feeds tab.
• Updated Facebook authentication.
• Fixed possible issue with truncated retweets.

As you probably know, we don’t do things half heartedly; it’s taken a lot of experimentation, iteration and testing to create something we feel really delivers a great experience. In addition we’ve made some big updates to our iPhone app to bring it inline with these overall enhancements. We will be rolling out some of these changes in our following releases but we’re saving the best stuff until Momento 3.

Momento 3 will support iPod touch, iPhone and iPad. It will feature over the air syncing to keep all your devices up to date with the latest version of your data. We don’t have a date set for release but we’re working as hard as we can to get this out as soon as possible. Once we’re happy and our beta testers give us the thumbs up then we’ll go live.

We know you will want to know more about what Momento 3 but we’d like to keep that under wraps for now. Further details will follow at a later date.
