Some days the bear gets you.

Some days you get the bear; some days the bear gets you. The last two days, the bear has chased me, pounced on me, mauled me and left me for dead.

As many of you are aware, we have temporarily removed Audiotorium Notes from the app store. This is due to a bug we identified shortly after version 1.8.2 was released; a bug that doesn’t appear in testing scenarios, but that most certainly appears when upgrading from the app store. The bug, which heretofore will be named “grumpy”, causes the database to become corrupted and not display any data — categories, subjects or notes. This is, admittedly, bad. However, the data is still on the device and can be accessed via the WiFi sharing option, just not from within the app. We’ve submitted an emergency update to Apple and they will hopefully approve it quickly.

This release was targeted to iOS 4.2 GM in order to support new features of the upcoming OS and the bug appears to be directly related to that.  We’ve submitted a report to Apple regarding the problem and hope to hear back from them soon.

In the meantime, we are sincerely sorry for the disruption this has caused.

A New Look

As you can see, we are in the midst of a website redesign. The old, tired website is being replaced by the new hotness, which is super, but what I’m really excited about is the opportunity to communicate more about what’s going on at App Apps through this blog.

For now, sit back, relax and enjoy the view. There will be more to see here soon.
