Freedom Isn't FREE- But Uncle Slam is, today only!

While we had hoped to get the free Election 2012 Pack into your hands today, sometimes the best laid plans of mice and men and all that.However, we still felt that the only way to really celebrate freedom is to give SOMETHING away for free. So in lieu of the election pack, for today only, we've made the full version of Uncle Slam free to download! But fear not, the election pack is still coming in July. If you don't believe us, just take a look at this video. You'll be battling Obama vs Romney sooner than you think!

While you are waiting for that, tell your friends that even though freedom isn't free, on the 4th of July, Uncle Slam is!

Updating to iOS 5 can disable notifications in RE.minder, GAME.minder, Better Clock

Did you update to iOS 5 in the last 2 weeks? Chances are you did. We've received many reports of RE.minders not going off after the update and after some research, we've determined that Apple took it upon themselves to (randomly?) change the notification options for various apps after the update, RE.minder , GAME.minder and Better Clock included. Read on for the fix -OS 5 introduces the new notification center which handles all notifications, system-wide, a little differently. Notifications now default to a strip across the top of the screen that goes away after a short time. Without any other changes, this is how RE.minder will display notifications under iOS5. You can see whatever notifications you have waiting by swiping down from the top of the screen.

It's possible that Apple has set RE.minder's notifications to "off" on your device in the upgrade to iOS5. To fix the issue, go into the settings app and select notifications, then scroll down until you see RE.minder (Or RE.minder PRO+, GAME.minder or Better Clock). If any of these apps have been disabled, they may be all the way at the bottom of the list under "not in notification center".

Once you select the app, you will see the options for notifications: none, Banners (the new way) and Alerts (the old way). Just select the notification type you want to use and all your RE.minders should show up again. Also make sure to switch badges and sounds back to "on" if they have been switched to "off".

We're still trying to figure out why Apple would change these settings without letting us the developer or you the user know but for the moment, we just have to fix it manually on a case by case basis.

If that doesn't fix the issue, please do let us know by contacting us.

Thanks!

GAME.minder 2.1 with WiiU and PSV now available

In case you missed it, late last week GAME.minder 2.1 was approved and is now available on the App Store. The biggest news in GAME.minder land is that you can now track WiiU and Playstation Vita games. You'll need to make a stop in the info tab > settings to turn them on.

In addition to the two new platforms, we've also added the ability to share a game you are following via twitter. Now, when you tap the share button from a followed game, you'll get the choice between email or twitter so you can spread the word about your games even faster.

The last big change is in the search area. If you search for a game and there are results that fall outside your currently set filters, we now let you know so you can temporarily disable them to see what games you might be missing. We did this because we were getting a lot of reports about missing games that were actually just hidden by search filters or platform settings.

Other than that, there are several other minor fixes that should make the GAME.minder experience a little smoother. We hope you enjoy!
