Version 1.4.2 Released

Version 1.4.2 of iOS app, TapToCount-3W, is released on App Store. The following is the information about this update.

What's New

We are very pleased to announce that the new version of 1.4.2 is available. This update includes some new features, enhancements, and bug fixes.

• Note editing has been further enhanced. The edit/view button in the top-right corner has been moved up outside of the text edit frame. This makes it is easier to edit and view notes, without blocking any text.
• There was screen jump up and down behaviour when editing tap item’s notes. This update prevents this jumping behaviour. When the note for an tap item is changed to edit mode, the screen will keep in smooth view.
• The map view of taps has been further enhanced. There are two more buttons to allow view annotation pins, or routes, or both.
• A new app setting of “Minimum user distance” is added so that in map view, when user’s location has been changed far away than this minimum distance, an annotation pin is added with a route connection. This makes it easy to view user’s location changes. Note that those user location changes only can be viewed in map view, and those changes will be gone if the map view is dismissed. This new feature can be extended to new features in coming updates.
• Fixed some bugs and potential crashes.

New Features in Map View

The map view provides visual view of taps on map. As described above, some new features in map view have been added to this update.

Annotation Pins and Connection Routes

Two new buttons on the bottom of tool bar provide ways of showing or not showing annotation pins, and connection routes between two consecutive taps. The following is an example of showing annotations and routes for a trip in Maui, Hawaii.




User Locations

Tap on user location button (1st button on the bottom left), user current location will be displayed on the map. If you keep this view active, and move around, you may see your location changes with annotation pins to indicate your past locations.

A new setting of "Minimum user distance" is added to the app settings. This setting can be found in iOS Settings|TapToCount-3W app. The following snapshots shows the default setting value of 30 meters as minimum user location changes. This setting can be changed to any other values for your preference.





And the following is an example of user location changes.



Note that: those user location annotations will be displayed when the map view is active. If you turn off the screen, put the app in background, the past user locations will not be updated. If you exist the map view, the past user locations will be gone.
