Version 1.2 of PhotoCaddy is currently in development, and it should hopefully be ready in the App Store in about a week. In the meantime, to reward people like you who read this blog, I'd like to share a few details on what will be appearing in this new version. I'm pretty excited about this update as it could really offer some great things to a lot of people. Let's jump in - just remember that this IS still a work in progress, and subject to change.

 

Global User Tips
One of the main problems in the current version is that it is very one-sided, as all the data come from, well, me. So, a major feature of the new version will be the ability to upload and share your tips with all PhotoCaddy users. This will be on a category-by-category basis, so hopefully any gaps in the data will get noticed and filled in by capable people round the world. I think this should also open the app up for including some more advanced tips or unusual tips.

 

Voting
To accompany Online User Tips, we are also inluding the abilty to vote for a tip. This will operate very much like the reviews in the App Store. Users will be able to say whether they found a tip useful or not, and then this will reflect a tip's position in the listing.

 

Custom Categories
Although we've managed to pack a lot of categories into PhotoCaddy, we have to be honest and say not every situation is covered. Now users will be able to enter notes on new situations, and in fact suggest these new categories online for inclusion in a future version.

 

New Categories
Naturally we've included some new categories and new material in this version as well. We'll keep them as a surprise, but it should definitely keep a few people pleased!

 

New Icon
Finally, as our Twitter followers will know, there's a new icon in development. Though I'm quite fond of the original, I must be honest and admit that I don't really have any graphic design skills. Fortunately the guy I'm working with does, and he's coming up with something really special which I'm quite looking forward to revealing.

 

Well, that's all for the moment. There's a few other bits and pieces in there but that will make up the bulk of v1.2. I've already got a few ideas for v1.3 as well, so there's plenty in store for PhotoCaddy in the weeks to come!
