App Updates

Decided it was time to update you on dAmnMobile Sunya, the next major version of the app. Basic functionality for use on dAmn is implemented, a new data store is in place along with a great new way to add chats and a chance to promote your own chat in the app for a low cost!

The data store is based around SQLite which means the app will be more responsive to use while also being easier to maintain for me as the developer. This new data system combines major features of the application into one database, meaning that all data is easily found and read, lowering memory and CPU usage by the app.

The message/chat view has and still is being dramatically overhauled to allow the app to show messages and images correctly, this includes avatars/icons.

The app settings are fewer in number, and bot mode has been removed as it is mostly an unused feature which potentially slows the application down. There will be a simple way to change accounts which will just clear the username and dAmntoken from the database then allow you to re-authenticate with dA.

Onto dA Uploader for iOS, version 1.0.1 is coming soon. This update fixes small bugs, adds a indicator while uploading and fixes the rotation of images so they are correct once in Stash.

There is also a small alteration to how the ads work in dA Uploader, currently if clicked it does not confirm that this is the action wanted, in version 1.0.1 this is fixed, it will now ask for confirmation before opening the ad when clicked. Hopefully these updates to dA Uploader will solve the issues that occur.

Overall the aim is that dA Uploader 1.0.1 will out within a week or two, while dAmnMobile Sunya will be out in a month or two.
