New features in Memengo Wallet 1.9

September 5, 2009

Since Memengo Wallet was released you have spoken and we have listened. The latest update addresses 5 of your most frequent requests and it will be released on the app store in about two weeks. For each feature there is a person or a small group who championed it, and today these nice people are rewarded with:

a) A free copy of GeeTasks – a task manager that syncs with Google Tasks. Please contact support to receive your Promo Code.
b) The requests being addressed. That’s what you get for speaking up. :-)

Here are the new features:

1. More readable font. I have scanned through all fonts on iPhone and found the only one where all leters below look differently. Thanks Dark for bringing this issue up.

2. Lockout can now be configured in Settings – you can specify to lock when screen locks, or after so many minutes. Thanks to Kyle, sickpuma an Robert for taking time to explain this problem to me. Apart from different timing, setting a time-based lockout will prevent Wallet from closing when focus is lost (e.g. an SMS arrives).

3. Encryption key can be entered using PIN-friendly keyboard. I still recommend using more complicated character set than just numbers, but if you’re sure you know what you are doing now is your time. Thanks Matthias and Cantello for suggesting this feature. Also notice the nice shiny button – there will be more of these as I’m getting a hang of this button design thing.

4. Copy-paste support for iPhone OS 3.0. While Wallet remains compatible iPhone OS 2.2, when run on OS 3.0 you can now also tap-and-hold on any field in a card and you will be offered to copy text to iPhone’s clipboard or to append it. Thus you can copy both user named and password into clipboard and go use Safari without the need to come back. Thanks sickpuma.

5. Speaking of Safari. Tap-and-hold over a link also allows you to open links in Safari instead of the built-in Web Browser. This should make things a little quicker for those of you who prefer Safari. Thanks sickpuma.
