Binary Calc v1.4 biggest update ever!

A new version of Binary Calc is out (v1.4). The app is more complete than it ever was. Now there's actually a reason to buy the premium version besides donating!

Updates:
* New: Not button used to invert the binary bits
* New: Reverse conversion: enter the input to convert back to binary (click on the number output on top). This is a premium versi
on feature only (works for dec, ascii, hex, if you break something, let me know)
* New: Vibrate on keypress on the bits (just like vibrate on press for your keyboard)
* New: Bit indicator on the top left let's you know which bit you are pressing (thanks for the tip Ejnar!)
* New: Copy button now copies the binary string instead of the result. This is a premium version feature only. You can still copy the output, just long press the output text.

Whoa, I just realize this is my biggest release to date. Things have been busy lately with family and guests staying over at the house and work has been super busy as always. There have been only a few downloads for the premium version, but nonetheless, I appreciate the support! I will be implementing a support site for bug reporting soon. Don't forget to click on the ads!

In other news, I've changed the theme of the blog to another template. The previous theme was nice, but the links were all black, making it hard to differentiate between regular text and links...

My App is downloaded all over the world!

Ever since the latest v1.3 update of Binary Calc, I've implemented Google Analytics to track the app usage. As you can see, my app is used all over the world! 1,192 total visits since I started tracking with Google Analytics. Keep in mind my only source of marketing is my on facebook profile and twitter. If you like my app, feel free to spread the word. I will be implementing a support/feedback site in the future.

Now if only people will start buying my premium app...

Binary Calc v1.3.1

Small update to address a bug with the "What's New" popup that persists even after rebooting (it's suppose to only show up only once until the next upgrade).

Progress so far

Well it seems that people are showing interest in the app. There have been 1165 downloads so far (wow), I'm pretty impressed. I've implemented Google Analytics since the last major upgrade and noticed my app is frequently used by those in NY. Thanks for using my app and keep clicking on the ad! Better yet, buy the premium version!

Next update

I'm planning on implementing reverse conversion in the next version. Seems to be the most senseful feature to put out next. Stay tuned!
