My app turns 3…

…and all it got is this lousy update. But lets start from the beginning:

I‘m very pleased to announce that CoverSutra, my personal entry to the indie software scene, turned three years today. It‘s granted that a shiny new version 3.0 of CoverSutra would be a much better way to celebrate. But well, it looks like I got distracted by some iPhone app.

So instead I‘m releasing version 2.2.2, which fixes a rare crashing issue while showing the keyboard bezel.
If you‘re that particular guy with that issue: You‘re welcome!

I‘m sure you will agree that this lousy bugfix-release isn‘t a way to celebrate a birthday. So additionally CoverSutra will be on birthday sale for very iPhoneriffic $4.99!

This is your best chance to get a „valid“ license, you won‘t get it for a lower price anytime soon. But hurry, the sale ends this wednesday on January 27… just in time when Steve Jobs announces that Software as we know it today will be obsolete ;-)

Head over to the Store to snatch your license today!

CoverSutra 2.2

CoverSutra 2.2 is now available. The Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or iTunes 9 and includes general fixes that enhance the stability and performance of CoverSutra. The new version also adds these specific fixes:

  • CoverSutra is now compatible with Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard.
  • Compatibility fixes for iTunes 9.
  • CoverSutra now runs natively on 64bit Macs.
  • Two times faster music search.
  • The music search menu no longer displays podcasts, movies and TV shows.
  • Changed the order in which playlists appear in the music search.
  • CoverSutra no longer displays now playing notifications if iTunes is the frontmost application.
  • Updated artwork for iTunes 9.

CoverSutra 2.2 is a free upgrade for existing customers.

Update: CoverSutra 2.2.1 is now available and includes the following fixes.

  • Fixed Last.fm scrobbling issues.
  • Fixed stability issues.
  • Minor corrections and enhancements.

Happy Birthday CoverSutra!

It‘s surprising how fast time runs by. Today CoverSutra already turns two years old. I can still clearly remember the evening when I prepared version 1.0 for the public release. Believe me, it was an absolutely horrible day for me, not knowing if CoverSutra‘s sales will allow me to stay independent or not and, more importantly, if the Mac crowd would accept CoverSutra. A certain french artist even described it as „suffering a stressed german girl“. Well, well …

Now to the less boring part of the post: CoverSutra 2.1.6 is available now and should fix quite some smaller bugs and odds. Head over to the product page to download the update, or use the Build-in software update if you‘re already running CoverSutra.

But what would be a birthday without presents? So just for today CoverSutra is available for free! Go to the Store to get one of the cheapest CoverSutra serial numbers ever! Yeah I know, you could also use a pirated serial, but that‘s bad for your Karma, right?

Update: The birthday party is over, we’re resuming to regular pricing ;-).
