Latest Update: eWallet for Mac Beta Preview

April 29, 2010 by Julie

I have some good news for all of our Mac users today. We’ve released another update to the eWallet for Mac Beta Preview, with even more new features and improvements!

Note that if you were using the 30 day trial (which you can download here), installing this version will give you another 30 days.

So what’s new? Hit the jump to see the lists!

This time around, we’ve added the following features:

• Added Search
• Added Recent Cards
• Added Shortcut Cards
• Added a Help Center interface (No Mac specific Help yet - sorry!)
• Added Context Menus
• Added Trial and Registration info to About dialog
• Reset the 30 day trial period (so new downloads get 30 more days)

And the following fixes have been made:

• Fixed problem creating root level categories
• Fixed problem with date field display
• Not to mention other miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements

That’s what we packed into this new version of the eWallet for Mac Beta Preview, and there are more updates to come. You’ll find the 30 day trial version right here. And if you don’t already own eWallet, when you buy it you’ll get a registration key to unlock the Beta Preview and continue using it after the 30 days are over. Plus, you get eWallet for any mobile device we support, and any Windows PC, laptop or netbook you use – for one low price. You can buy eWallet on our store.

A pair of updates: eWallet and eWallet Lite for iPad

April 13, 2010 by Julie

It’s only been just over a week since the iPad version of eWallet was approved by Apple, and I’ve already got an update - with some cool new features - to tell you about!

The big news is that we’ve added a method for backing up and restoring wallets from email in eWallet for iPad. Just select a wallet and click the Backup button to send a copy of your wallet to yourself via email. You can also move wallets into eWallet on the iPad by emailing them and opening the attached wallet on your iPad. eWallet will automatically save the wallet and open it on your device.

It’s a great way to move and restore wallets, especially if you aren’t using a desktop computer to synchronize with. And to those with iPhones, the announcements regarding iPhone OS 4.0 suggest that we’ll be able to add the same functionality to eWallet for the iPhone and iPod touch in the future.

We also improved the tap and hold functionality. A number of eWallet functions (renaming field labels, accessing the password generator, and changing field types) are accessed by tapping and holding on a field. With this release we’ve tweaked that function a bit to make it a little easier to use.

And we also released eWallet Lite for the iPad this week! eWallet Lite for iPad will let customers try out eWallet before they buy. Just like eWallet Lite for iPhone, it limits you to a single wallet and 10 cards, but it has all the other features you’ll find in the full version of eWallet.

We’ve also done a lot of “under the hood” work on Mac eWallet, but here is a list of some of the problems folks saw that we’ve fixed:

• Inability to edit first line of card
• Problem viewing Note Cards
• Embedded pictures cause eWallet to close
• Problems with creating new categories

eWallet Viewer for Android is here!

April 6, 2010 by Julie

Hot on the heels of our iPad eWallet release, I’ve got more exciting news for you today. Our eWallet Viewer is now available in the Android Market.

What exactly is eWallet Viewer, you ask? Great question. eWallet Viewer is the latest feature for our award-winning password manager, available to all eWallet owners who use an Android device. And best of all, it’s free!

If you own eWallet 7, you can use eWallet Viewer to access your wallet files on your Android device. Easily synchronize wallets from the Windows PC version of eWallet to your Android phone, and view them anytime, anywhere! And, of course, eWallet Viewer has the same level of security and encryption you’ve come to expect from eWallet.

Ready to get it? All you have to do is search the Android Market on your phone for “eWallet Viewer”. It couldn’t be simpler, right? And if you don’t own eWallet 7 for Windows yet, you can try it free for 30 days. You’ll be able to sync the wallets you create in the Windows version to your Android device for viewing. When you’re ready to buy, you can get eWallet 7 from our store.

UPDATE: You will need the latest Windows PC version (7.1.0.28501) of eWallet to see the Android device option in Sync Setup. You can download it here.

More details about eWallet Viewer, and some great screenshots of it in action, are right here on our site.

eWallet for iPad - Now Available!

April 2, 2010 by Ellen

Update: eWallet for iPad is available now in the iTunes App Store.

It’s a universal binary, so anyone who’s bought or received as a promo eWallet for iPhone should get this version with no charge.

If you have questions about it, we’ll be back in the office Monday and be happy to answer them all.

Original post:

We’ve been quiet about our iPad development, as we’ve learned - really we have - about the pitfalls of pre-announcing anything at all before it’s released, but since so many people have asked: yes, we plan to release a version of eWallet with full iPad compatibility, and in fact we submitted it to Apple on Friday, March 26. It’s in review. Of course we hope it will be approved as soon as possible.

We’ll post again when we have more information.

And yes, we are still working on eWallet for Android, eWallet for Mac, and ListPro for iPhone. We did give eWallet for iPad higher priority, but work on those other platforms/projects is still going on. I’m sorry it’s taking as long as it is.
