Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted February 11, 201114 yr Okay so today I opened the app store, and I see there's an update to the IPS iPhone App, "great", I think, "I wonder what's been fixed in this version!" (no lie, I read those things) So I open it up, and what I get is this rather unhelpful description of what's changed: I know it's minor minor minor, and I love using the app, it's awesome, and free and all that other stuff which I love, but I'd also like to suggest that you use that space to document a changelog now? Unless I missed a changelog somewhere.. in which case, shoot me now and point me in the correct direction :unsure:
February 11, 201114 yr Yah, I admit that was a pretty big gripe for me... If I'm on 3G which I normally am when not at work, if I'm going to use my data I'd like to know what I'm using it on is at least worth the download... And since you wrote the app you should know ahead of time what was fixed in it.. so it shouldn't be terribly hard to just go "update fixes EXPLODING MONKEYS OF DOOOM" etc
February 11, 201114 yr Heh, that is pretty nondescriptive... but people actually read those things? Tried using the Tracker? It looks like bugs get marked fixed and actually have versions against them, so...
February 11, 201114 yr Management I wasn't sure what else to say as all it really was just bug fixes :)
February 14, 201114 yr FWIW, I updated an app on my iPhone this weekend, and specifically looked at the list of changes out of curiosity (thinking of this topic), and it literally said "bug fixes". At least we capitalized "Bug".
February 15, 201114 yr Author FWIW, I updated an app on my iPhone this weekend, and specifically looked at the list of changes out of curiosity (thinking of this topic), and it literally said "bug fixes". At least we capitalized "Bug". Nobody's perfect, and that's their problem, however you (as a company, not you as in bfarber) should strive to be more than perfect to provide the best customer experience. An example is I updated Skype today on the iPod and I saw it had "Fixed: Video Calls Crashing", hadn't happened to me yet, but nice to know. There was also a Wordpress app update, which said "Fixed: Crashes App if publishing from media tab" - that one actually happened to me, I read to see if it was fixed as it's nice to know.. That's all I was asking for, a little brief line to know exactly what was fixed.. I'm weird like that I guess..
