‘Everything is new in May’ – that’s how an ancient German folk song begins. I’m happy to announce this proverb is also true for SnipNotes – SnipNotes 2.0 is nearly finished and will be released on May 19th!

It’s now exactly one year ago: On February 27th 2015 SnipNotes first saw the light of the App Store! Since its humble beginnings the app has grown quite a lot. It has received several major updates which included features like image support, an app for Apple Watch and splitscreen multitasking. Thank you all for your great support!

The biggest updates is yet to come. The beta is already running (you can still sign up as a beta tester) and today I’m releasing a new beta update which includes a brand new watch app and support for passcodes / Touch ID!  Read more about the details after the break. …

Here is your present for St. Nicholas Day: A new SnipNotes update, which lets the app interact even better with everything around. Here is what’s new:

• SnipNotes is now integrated into the share menu of other apps. This way you can quickly add text, URLs and images to SnipNotes as well as save addresses from inside Maps.
• The app now supports keyboard shortcuts for external keyboards and the iPad Pro Smart Keyboard. Hold down the command key to bring up an overview of available hotkeys.
• The accessibility option “VoiceOver” is now supported.

I’m already working a new big update and need your help. I’ve collected a lot of feature requests in the past months and you can now vote for features which are most important for you. You can find the poll right here. 🙂

I’m proud to announce the release of the next big SnipNotes update, which I’ve already covered in a previous blog post. There is however one aspect I haven’t revelead yet: SnipNotes can now be tried out for free! To tell you all the details, I will be using a FAQ style this time.

It’s finally here – the biggest update for SnipNotes yet is now available on the App Store! SnipNotes now works on Apple Watch, can save images, show you locations inside the app, offers new options for the widget and much more!

The homepage has also received a few updates: There is a new front page, which has all the important information about the app, including a little video! There is also a contact form on the support page, so you don’t have to rely on your email client anymore.

As always, please contact me with any questions or suggestions.

The great thing about beta tests is that you not only receive bug reports but also a lot of valuable feedback from the testers about things that could be improved or are still missing at all. Some of these requests are so extensive that they could easily fill a whole update alone, others are nice small additions that can be implemented with little effort. And since it is a beta test, I can push out new versions very quickly and the feedback cycles are very short. In the last post I talked about some new customization options which resulted from user feedback. Today I want to round up this chapter by telling you all about the additions I’ve made to the major new features since I introduced them a few weeks ago. …
