App development is a race. New mysteries and unknown puzzles, new requests from our users, new bugs, and last but not least—the most important driver—new requirements from Google to make the app more secure.Security was therefore the deciding factor for the current release.But we have still been able to introduce a number of new features…
3.4.1 Hotfix …
Ooops – while working and testing for releasing the 3.5.0 we suddenly noticed some issues with our MapView-Tool. Somehow only the satellite view was accessible. Mike and Mark reacted quickly and thus everything should work fine. However,m we will have a deeper look into this and heading now again for 3.5.0.
3.4.0 … Things are moving forward …
… slowly – with small steps – we are working our way through the thousands of lines of source code. It is always fascinating and admirable to see what Mark has created on his own.Of course, we would have liked to be faster with the new version. But Google has also caused us additional trouble…

… but not the end of a dream
Thank you Mark! Thank you for your dream, thank you for your commitment and your guidance! Thank you for your trust and the courage to let go and listen to your health. Five years is a damn long time – and keeping the fire burning over this period takes strength. You didn’t let it show…

We are delighted to welcome Marcia aka Linsty to the team. With the words “As a thank you for your efforts in making this amazing app, I would be happy to help and translate the manual into the Dutch language“, she immediately threw herself into the work. Dear Marcia – welcome and thank you for…
Checkdigits – Are you still checking?
Once upon a time … Holy Sepamaria … GC7DCXZ … what have I calculated … There must be a better way. The banks can do it too. And once again an adventurous journey to a new function began.
