Automatic updating, mobile support, and a lack of sleep
JourneyCast 1.2 is now available for your iPhone. As usual, it’s a free update for people who already own the app. This version includes a bunch of improvements:
- If you are auto-posting a journey, sleeping will be disabled. This means you no longer have to worry about turning off auto-lock on your iPhone when using JourneyCast. Note, however, that if you manually press the power button on the top of your iPhone, you will not be broadcasting your location until you wake the phone back up.
- When viewing a journey on a computer web browser, the page will now automatically update itself. No more clicking reload! Just leave a JourneyCast tab open, and you’ll see the page update whenever a new location post comes in.
- In the emails you send out from the app, we now include a link to a mobile verison of your journey. This should be used on (non-iPhone) mobile devices, like Blackberrys. (Or is that Blackberries? Hmmm.)
- JourneyCast sports an improved (and more green!) interface.
Enjoy!
