Happy New Year! (Updated)

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

We’re glad that so many of you took advantage of our holiday sale (50% off Awaken for iPhone and $5 off Awaken for Mac). Awaken for Mac is now going to remain at that sale price of $10. We’re also extending the 50% sale of Awaken for iPhone a little longer.

We’ve been busy working on updates for all 3 of our apps.

HoloSnapsHoloSnaps for iPhone and iPod touch version 1.0.5 was just sent to Apple for review. It includes an all new app icon and a new preference for toggling UI sounds on/off. It should be available in the App Store within a week.
UPDATE: HoloSnaps 1.0.5 is now in the App Store.
AwakenAwaken for iPhone and iPod touch version 1.3 is near completion and will be sent to Apple for review this coming week. We’ll be posting a list of the new features contained within soon.
AwakenAwaken for Mac version 5 has been in development for a while and was delayed on a few occasions. There was a huge demand for Awaken on the iPhone so we paused Awaken for Mac to accomplish that, and then rewrote it for Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard. You’ll be getting an all-new Awaken for Mac when version 5 is released. Stay tuned for more information. It’ll be a free major update to anyone who has already purchased Awaken.
