TeamTaposé was extremely impressed with Charlie’s creativity, and pleased to see Taposé is being used for such an important event. Congratulations, Charlie!

Numerous other outstanding examples were submitted, all of which touched on the different features Taposé has to offer. We saw one user taking advantage of the multiple imaging functionality to storyboard a short film, one using more of the word processing tools to take notes in class, and one that used both to plan the construction of a greenhouse. We’re discovering ways to use Taposé that we hadn’t even thought of!

Thanks to those of you who sent your screenshots in this week. We’ve got three more weeks to go for the contest, but each submission is another idea for us and for all Taposé users, so keep ‘em coming!

A $100 iTunes gift card will be awarded to one submission per week. To submit, simply share a screenshot with hashtag #MadeWithTapose via Twitter, through Taposé’s share feature or email to contact@tapose.com.

Improvements and Fixes:  Please know that we are working diligently to fix bugs and improve the user experience with Taposé.  I’ve taken over the user experience job role myself, and have made it a personal goal to have Taposé as intuitive as possible.  Once again, thank you for all the support!

Improvements include moved undo button, retina images, memory fixes, and more…

Plus, Tapose is $0.99 for THIS WEEKEND ONLY!!!

Why are you still reading this…get to the app store.    – Purchase Tapose

We will announce when the new update goes live.

Stay Tuned…

iPad 1: Stability improvements

- Slide Bar had to be frozen to save memory size the iPad 1 does not have as much memory as the iPad 2 and 3.  We will work to improve this over time.  This results in Tapose being MUCH more stable on the iPad 1.

iPad 2 and 3: Stability improvements

- Crash fixes.  We’ve done tons of internal testing and sent builds to beta testers with zero crashes over the past several days.

Other Improvements:

- Slide Bar button changed to be more intuitive

- Moved undo button to top toolbar

- When a sticky note is added, it stays highlighted and the delete button in the toolbar is active so users can easily delete it.

- Two finger page swipe with pen tool no longer leaves marks on pages

Bugs Fixed:

• shared journals with audio, the audio won’t play
• copy to clipboard button inconsistent
• users having trouble getting lists to end
• page turn issue in portrait mode. Does not respond to taps or swipes
• subscription sign up error. “cannot connect to iTunes”
• highlighter marks not being exported
• crash when trying to undo deleting a sticky note.
• shared alerts not showing on wifi only iPads when the move from no wifi to wifi. Alerts should appear once  an Internet connection is made
• spelling errors on biz card alert need to be fixed.  ”whould” Should be “Would” and “inforamation” should be “information”
• when searching on the map for location or activating a map card, the map immediately returns to the users location. Should stay on the searched location
• issue with lasso tool not capturing image on zoomed out map. iPad 3.
• exporting journals sometimes show blue dots around sticky notes, media, or biz cards
• error when opening Journal shared with four other people (5 total) along 3 different time zones.
• photos not getting added to the clipboard after adding images using the media tool
• not able to move selection bars on text
• bug when opening the close up box with media on the page

This Week:

Since 1.0.2 #TeamTaposé has been working hard to fix the remaining stability issues as well as bugs reported through the forum.  Several builds have been posted on TestFlightapp for beta testers, and each build is getting Taposé closer and closer to where it needs to be.

Last Week:

Last week a bright programmer, Nick Fox, joined the Taposé team.  Nick has already made a tremendous impact and is a great addition as we continue to build a local team.  He has been putting out “fires” from the previous programmers at a quick pace.  Still looking for 2-3 quality coders to immediately join #TeamTaposé, which will enable Taposé to rely solely on a dedicated internal team.

What does this mean?  The internal team will move quicker and be more efficient since they have a stake in the success of Taposé.  I’m certain that you will see an immediate improvement in all around useability.

Next Week:

The plan is to submit an update to Apple next week which includes all the stability improvements and bug fixes.   With this update, I’m confident that Taposé will regain its position in the top apps section of the AppStore.

Beta Testers:
After several request by the beta testers, we plan to send out more builds to be tested. This will help us not only test the current build, but also identify crashes on different devices. We’ve actually sent out a built this morning for exactly this reason.

TestFlightapp SDK:
In the latest update, we’ve installed an SDK that returns crash reports, the cause, and iPad version used. This amount of information is extremely helpful in getting crashes fixed quickly. Our team can immediately trace the crash back to the root problem. I’m confident that with this information, Tapose should be crash free soon.

Developers:
I’m in the process of bringing on an additional developer or two to assist our team in enhancing the stability and performance of Tapose. The developers are very good, so they will be a great addition to the team and Tapose will be better because of it.

Next Update:
With 1.0.2, #TeamTapose was trying to put out the most immediate fires. Howerever, that backfired since 1.0.2 did not have a fix for everyone. Therefore, 1.0.3 will bring stability to all iPads and fix the bugs reported in the Forum. The hardest problem we are facing right now is how to fix the iPad 1 issues, but I’m confident that we will get this figured out quickly.

Thanks for your continued support!

Pulling Tapose from the AppStore?
If 1.0.2 does not increase the stability of Taposé, then my recommendation to the team was to pull Taposé from the AppStore until we can produce a quality product.
