OpenLoopz 1.3 - Released 7th November 2009

posted 7 Nov 2009 02:49 by Paul Drummond   [ updated 18 Nov 2009 04:53 ]
OpenLoopz 1.3 is now available to download from Android Market with the many, many new features!
  • Improved home screen makes better use of contexts to categorise your actions.
  • Home screen now optionally shows "Due Today", "Due Tomorrow" and "Due Soon" sections.
  • New streamlined 'Edit Action' screen with context edit box and pop-up list selector.
  • New streamlined 'View Action' screen that shows all action details and sub-actions in a single scrollable form.
  • New priority setting for actions.  
  • New "Add As Sub-action" option.
  • All list screens are now sensibly ordered! ;-)
  • The Notification system has been re-written:
    • The new system is less annoying all round!
    • You can configure how often OpenLoopz will check for overdue and stale actions independently.
    • You can configure a "bed time" hours, after which all notifications are silent.
    • You can turn notifications off altogether if you want to.
  • You can now associate a single person with an action rather than always relying on 'Contact Contexts'.
  • You can now "touch" a stale action to quickly remove its "stale" status.  There is also a "Touch All" Option.
  • New "Delete All" and "Shred All" options.
  • 'Next Action' context on the home screen is now optional.  You can unpin it just like any other context.
  • Lots and lots of bug fixes!
Thank you to every who has supported us during the development of OpenLoopz.  The new features wouldn't have seen the light of day without the amazing support and fantastic suggestions from the community. 

Special thanks to David Wagner for his "intersection" idea, and all the other users who suggested features to help improve OpenLoopz.  We value your feedback and look forward to hearing your thoughts on 1.3!
