New version 4.1 of Taxi professional submitted
05/25/2014 11:29 AM Archiviato in:New releases
Following the hint of a taxi driver from the north of Italy lamenting a freeze of the app possibly following to a location error, I updated the app to return it to the login page instead of remaining in the splash screen in these events. Moreover the status image on the bottom left has been turned into a button that, upon being clicked, returns the map to the taxi position and lastly the new more efficient drawing methods from the other app in the suite have been also introduced into Taxi Professional.

Share & Spare is catching up
04/06/2014 08:37 PM Archiviato in:New releases
After some time even the minor version of the suite Share & Spare has receive its seasonal lift. Actually perhaps more than that as also the free app has eschewed the google support for the routes, with the exception of the sharing ones, and adapted to 64 bits. This is the quite conspicuous changelog:
- Upon booking a taxi, is now possible to inform the driver beforehand about the expected destination and to share the path with other users to look for company.
- The route to the destination of a taxi ride is now drawn on the user's map upon boarding the taxi to keep her posted on possible departures from the planned route and be thereafter able to ask the driver for clarifications.
- The paths are now calculated by means of the new Apple turn-by-turn library instead of the past third party one for a better resilience and efficiency.
- Full iOS 7.1 support.
- 64 bits support.
The 7.3 release of the In Arrivo HD app
03/28/2014 10:46 AM Archiviato in:New releases
I would like to inform the users of the main In Arrivo HD app that the long coveted 7.3 version of the app has been released and it’s now available for the free update by its user and for the direct purchase by new appreciators. As long said, the new version eschew the Google support for the calculation of paths, by taking advantage of the new turn-by-turn Apple library and uses the new support for providing two new interesting features:
All of this leads to a much relaxed experience and we are happy to have attained this result.
- The walking path to the closest stop for a searched bus
- The taxi route that should be threaded by the taxi to reach the intended destination
- The app no longer freezes while loading a high number of waiting times
- The stops in the cache no longer stack in the center of the screen when starting the app
All of this leads to a much relaxed experience and we are happy to have attained this result.
