Thanks to everyone who applied for the beta – we now have over 50 people testing Awaken 1.2 and it will be in the App Store in a couple weeks.

Awaken 1.1 brought over a dozen updates to Awaken for iPhone. We’re now close to finalizing Awaken 1.2 which contains an additional 20+ enhancements. This time around we would like to have some of you participate in a beta test to ensure that we cover any issues that you may be experiencing.

We are limited on how many people we can accept so we have some questions for you to answer after you submit a request to beta test.

To get started, all you need to do is send your device ID to support@embraceware.com with “Awaken Beta” in the subject line.

You can get your iPhone or iPod touch device ID by doing the following:

1. Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your Mac or PC.
2. On the “Summary” tab in iTunes, click the “Serial Number” label.
   You’ll notice “Serial Number” changes to “Identifier”. (sans Zelda chime)
3. Click on “Edit” in the menu at the top and select “Copy”.
4. Now you can paste the device ID into an email.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Awaken 1.1 brings over a dozen fixes and enhancements.

After the release of Awaken 1.0 we watched our feedback and support lines for comments, questions and concerns and prepared the next release to package everything important that was brought to our attention. Some of the bug fixes were critical to the operation of the application.

Apple’s App Review team took our request to have the App Review process expedited and got it approved and in the store within 4 days (including the weekend) – much less than the usual 2 week wait.
