Cashculator Free on Mac App Store

A couple of days ago we finally released Cashculator Free on the Mac App Store. It’s a little limited version of our Cashculator application, which is available for about 18 months now. The Free version is only limited in the number of scenarios (up to 2) and the number of months that you can plan your finances forward (3 months). Otherwise they are the same.

Free seems to have its power in getting a word about your application as it removes any barriers to downloading it. So far we’ve got some prominent positions on the Mac App Store, at least in the Financial category. It’s number 1 Free Financial app in many countries (including major ones) and it’s also inside top 50 Free Apps currently in the US, UK, Japan, Canada, Australia and more countries.

Cashculator Free also currently displayed well in the App Store application (click for larger images on Flickr):

It’s an interesting experiment in marketing for us and we’ll see if it will convert to more sales of the full version. Even if not, it’s still good for our new customers and for us.

Socialite 1.3.4 release notes

Socialite 1.3.4 fixes important issues, such as posting to Facebook pages, and handles many of the features and issues that were reported by our users. Full release notes:

  • Reverted handling of marking articles as read as it was before version 1.3.3. Now they are again marked read when selected and not when deselected.
  • Fixed authentication of Facebook pages. If you couldn’t post to your Facebook pages previously, this should fix this.
  • It’s now possible to copy selected event(s) text with Cmd-C (Copy). It will copy to clipboard the whole text of the status updates. No need to select the text with the mouse anymore.
  • Added support for Services! Services menu is now working when events or specific text in events are selected. The selected text or text of selected events (even multiple) can now be sent to Services. Services menu is available both in the Socialite menu and on right-clicking the events. Personally, I downloaded the free Translator app: http://translatorapp.tumblr.com/ and it use it now through services to translate events in foreign languages. I just right-click it and from services menu select Translate Selection.
  • Fixed clipping of refresh button. Refresh all button state (when Alt is pressed) was causing the button to loose its right edge.
  • Pressing Cmd-Enter while on event will open events in built-in web browser, separate windows. Works great for RSS articles. Also available through Event menu.
  • Added shortcut and a menu item to toggle ‘only show unread events’ button. Cmd-Alt-U will now toggle this state. Also available from View menu.
  • Added shortcut (Cmd-Y) to open currently selected photo in photo viewer window. Similar to clicking on the “enlarge” button on a photo event.
  • Added Registration… menu item in Socialite menu to show your license or access registration dialog
  • Fixed JSON decoding bug which showed {} as pp in Twitter.
  • Fix dates for Digg updates. Previously was using original article submission date. Now use the more appropriate article’s “promotion to top news” date.
  • Favorites container in Twitter accounts is now not limited by any date so you’ll be able to see them forever. Note, this will not redownload your previous favorites. You’ll need to remove and add again your twitter account for this.
  • Fix bug where tweet it! wouldn’t work in some cases on first use.
