eWallet Gets Cloud Sync in Android version

March 17, 2015 by Ken

e-wallet

We’re very pleased to announce that our SyncPro^® engine including cloud sync is now included with eWallet^® 8 for Android.

The Windows PC (desktop) and iOS versions got the cloud sync upgrade last summer and now the Android version has it too. With version 8 of eWallet for Android you now have an additional way to sync and backup that makes use of cloud services, and doesn’t require a direct connection between devices. With cloud syncing you consider the wallet in the cloud to be the master, and then you can sync multiple devices (desktops, laptops, Android phones and tablets, and iOS devices) to that master wallet.

We still offer the direct WiFi sync method as well if you don’t want to (or can’t) store your wallet in the cloud, but we no longer offer the old USB sync, as many Android devices don’t support USB Mass Storage mode anyway.

In addition to cloud sync, we also completely updated the user interface using Google’s Material Design concepts. We also added new high resolution card icons for a new look, and one that fits in better with the new interface. The wallet file format is now the same as on other platforms, so wallets are essentially interchangeable across devices (there’s even a new feature that lets you email a backup copy of your wallet to yourself).

Please note that because of the wallet file change, if you want to continue to use WiFi sync between your PC and Android, you’ll need to upgrade your PC version of eWallet to 8.1.

A special thank you to our Android beta testing team who have been testing and giving us great feedback. If you’re interested in participating in a future beta, or have any questions or comments about the release, please contact us!

eWallet 8.0 for Android runs on Android OS 4.0.3 to 5.x including both phones and tablets. This upgrade is free for all users who already own a license of eWallet version 7 for Android. If you purchased a copy from Google Play or Amazon using their app stores, then you’ll be able to use the Update feature in the respective store to get the new version. Get all the info about eWallet here on our site.

eWallet 8.1 for Windows PC runs on all versions of Windows 7, and runs on Windows 8 and 8.1 in Desktop mode. This update is free for all users who already own a license of eWallet for Windows PC (desktop), version 7 or 8; you can download or upgrade to the latest Windows PC version from our site (you do not need new registration codes). If you have version 7.5 or later with automatic updates turned on, you’ll get prompted to update to the latest version (you can press “Check for Updates” in the About screen too).

eWallet 8.1 Update featuring Touch ID in iOS App Store

February 16, 2015 by Ken

eWallet logo eWallet^® 8.1 for iOS (iPad, iPhone and iPod touch) is now in the App Store. The app has been completely updated to further support iOS 8 along with the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus devices. In addition, eWallet on compatible iPhones and iPads now supports configurable Touch ID for easy, yet secure, access to the information in your wallets.

The eWallet 8.1 update was fully enhanced to support iOS 8; in fact, iOS 8 is now a requirement. eWallet will take advantage of the additional space on the larger iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus screens and will run rocket fast with 64-bit support. Oh yes, we did some screen improvements on the iPad as well!

eWallet Touch ID prompt

We wanted to add Touch ID in a way that could be configurable based on personal preference. With that goal in mind, Touch ID can be enabled for each of your wallets separately, giving you maximum flexibility with this new feature. Simply go to More (three dots) then Touch ID to enable or disable the feature for the wallet you have open.

We added several other more minor bug fixes and features to the release as well, including the popular request to be able to delete or hide the sample wallet.

eWallet for iOS runs on iOS 8 devices, including the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. This update is free for all users who already own a license of eWallet version 8 for iOS on compatible devices, and is delivered by the on-device App Store. Get all the info about eWallet here on our site.

Thank you for using eWallet, and please keep the great feedback coming! Also, a big thank you to our eWallet beta team, who gave us extremely useful feedback as the work on supporting these new features progressed.

ListPro 5.2 iPhone Update in App Store

November 25, 2014 by Ken

ListPro product logo

We’re very proud to announce that ListPro^® for iPhone has been updated to support iOS 8 along with the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus devices.

People use ListPro for everything from grocery and trip packing lists, to tracking medical information — our List Exchange shows the variety of areas people use the product for. One thing we hear consistently though is that people want to make full use of the available screen space for their lists, and the defaults just weren’t cutting it on the new larger devices. Given that feedback, we retooled the new 5.2 version to take advantage of all the additional space on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and added images in high resolution to make ListPro really shine in the larger sizes too.

Packing List

We also spent some time fixing the couple of nagging bugs that were reported, as well as beefing up ways to share list files via email and AirDrop.

ListPro 5.2 for iPhone runs on iOS 8 devices, including the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. This update is free for all users who already own a license of ListPro version 5 for iPhone on compatible devices, and is delivered by the on-device App Store. Get all the info about ListPro here on our site.

Thanks for using ListPro, and as always, please keep the great feedback coming!

eWallet logo eWallet^® 8.0.1 for iOS (iPad, iPhone and iPod touch) is now in the App Store. This update includes some fixes as well as additional support for iOS 8. We slipped a new feature into the release too — several people have asked for a a direct way to move their eWallet GO! data to eWallet, and this version adds that ability directly on the iOS device.

eWallet for iOS runs on iOS 6, 7 and 8 and on most devices, including the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. This update is free for all users who already own a license of eWallet version 8 for iOS on compatible devices, and is delivered by the on-device App Store.

Windows 10 Video Tour (Preview)

October 3, 2014 by Ken

You may have heard about Microsoft’s announcement regarding the upcoming Windows 10 (they’re apparently skipping version 9). Once again, Scott Hanselman has put together a short video (less than 8 minutes), this time covering the major features of the technical preview. The improved Start Menu and better integration between full screen apps and the desktop look like a very positive step forward.

eWallet Gets Cloud Sync in iOS and Windows versions

July 15, 2014 by Ken

e-wallet

We’re very proud to announce that eWallet’s SyncPro^® engine now includes support for syncing to the cloud. What does this mean? With version 8 of eWallet for iOS and eWallet for Windows PC (desktop) you now have an additional way to sync and backup that makes use of cloud services, and doesn’t require a direct connection between devices. With cloud syncing you consider the wallet in the cloud to be the master, and then you can sync multiple devices (desktops, laptops, iPhones, iPads, iPod touches) to that master wallet.

Does this mean you now have to use cloud sync? No, not at all. Cloud syncing is an additional feature — we still offer the direct sync methods as well if you don’t want to store your wallet in the cloud. Ok, fine, but what about the Mac and Android versions? We plan to add cloud sync services to those platforms as well, and although we can’t say when they will be ready, we are already working on them.

A lot of other work went into these releases as well. The iOS version got improved iOS 7 support for both iPhones and iPads, and the existing iCloud support was upgraded to use our SyncPro engine for card level syncing. The iOS version now gives you the choice of using iCloud or Dropbox for syncing and backup. The PC version has a new Sync Manager to keep all sync related activities, including setting up a new sync location and changing sync settings, in one easy to access place within eWallet. We also added a new Security Manager so all security settings are available from one place. The UI was also updated in several places to make tasks easier to get to, and information easier to read.

A special thank you to our beta testing team, we got some wonderful feedback and incorporated much of it in the final versions. If you’re interested in participating in a future beta, or have any questions or comments about the release, please contact us!
