Its nearly been a full month since I submitted Photo Rotate 1.6 to Apple, but fear not, it has not been lost in the void. Last week I received a call from Apple and there was a small issue with some of the application’s iTunes App Store descriptive text that references limitations in the SDK which they wanted me to remove. I promptly did as they asked and now I suspect the update has been ‘released’ from purgatory back to the end of the approval queue.
In the meantime I have been working on Photo Rotate 1.7 focusing on memory usage and low memory handling, which at this rate might be submitted before 1.6 even gets cleared. We’ll see how it goes.
Photo Rotate 1.6 has been submitted to Apple for approval. This version has the following changes:
* Fixes positioning offset bug in the Crop function.
* The crop area is now always clearly highlighted in a transparent blue for proper framing.
Version 1.5 took two weeks to clear the approval process (previously versions only took about one week), Apple seems to be overloaded with updates at the moment, so I would expect a two week wait or so.
Photo Rotate 1.5 has finally been approved by Apple (after longer than normal delays, no doubt related to the OS 3.0 release today). It should be available from the AppStore anytime now.
* This adds a powerful “Crop” button – this lets you do arbitrary rotation, scaling and positioning using single and two finger gestures.
* Full OS 3.0 Support (but not required, works with OS 2.2.1).
Photo Rotate 1.5 has been submitted to Apple for approval. This adds a nifty Crop function, that lets you do arbitrary rotation, scaling and positioning using single and two finger gestures.. Its also iPhone OS 3.0 ready. Hopefully this will be approved within the next week.
In other Photo Rotate news, there’s a bit of competition in the simple iphone photo rotating category now, hence me making Photo Rotate the easiest and most powerful while still focusing on rotation.
To see how good Photo Rotate is, take a look at this review over at Tim Obrien Photos.
Photo Rotate 1.4 has been approved by Apple and is now available.
This update removes the work-around of removing one pixel I put it to prevent the Photo Browser bug that was in iPhone firmware 2.2. Apple fixed this is 2.2.1 so this isn’t necessary anymore. There is now also a nice page-curl animation for some eye candy.
