Wow what a response!

So one day of being free on the store (it was actually a bit less than 24 hours), we had over 700 downloads. We've only had a little over 800 downloads total. Ah the power of the internet.

Finals Free

For Finals night, I've decided to give the app away for free for today only. I made the changes and submitted them to Apple. Hopefully it will show on the store that way soon.

Drum Corps International 2009 Finals

Best of luck to all the corps tomorrow night. I hope that you have your best show yet. Leave it all on the field.

Thursday Night Dallas

The Lake Highlands Drum Corps show is always a good time. Last night we scored some great tickets from friends who got "upgraded" to the press box. We were just off the 50 about half way up the stands. It's the first time I've only gone to the stands and didn't hang out in the lot. There were some really great shows. Pioneer had a great opening segment that featured the drumline - go basses! Academy was quite good. I really enjoyed their show. I missed the Troopers, unfortunately. I've read that they are doing really well this year, but my 3 year old had other plans. The Colts were great. The visuals for being on the sea were really well thought out and easy to digest. Madison just always has a crowd pleaser, and this year is no exception. The mysterious color guard outfits at the beginning of the show looked more strange religion than super hero. Blue Knights were solid as usual. I liked SCVs music - Appalachian Springs is just beautiful. I am always surprised when two corps end up with similar themes, but really it's pretty common. Cavaliers do a great job and have interesting visual program. The climber across the corps is really cool.

Blue Devils - WOW. great show! visually, musically - just great. I am sure the members are sick of the chairs, but they do an amazing job with them. They still have room to clean, but the time to do so.

I didn't attend the Friday show; so, I missed Cadets, Phantom, Crown, et al. but my pick to win is B.D.

1.1 is in the App Store

Get Version 1.1

Got approved for version 1.1. Now need to concentrate on getting the tenor app out.

Version 1.1 Submitted

So I blew it. I'll admit. 3.0 came out and the app failed. bad bad bad. So sorry to anyone that updated to 3.0 and had the app crash. But last night, I submitted version 1.1 of ReefIt Bass. It includes two new features and is 3.0 compatible.

We now have splits. In the preferences you can select 8s - 32nds and a tempo, as well as divide on the 8th note. Hopefully that makes sense. I should throw a video together....

To go along with this, I added a metronome to play along with.

First full week

Today will mark the end of the first full week on the store. About 18 sales (5 of which are international) so far. One positive review. Pretty good I would say considering I only pasted a link on Facebook and told some friends.

I've been working on the rolls this week. I am split between just having a full roll for each drum or more like a triplet for split sixes. Most likely I'll make it a configuration. In my testing, it's a little difficult with full out rolls to get the exact # of notes for a two or three or four (or more) run down the line.
