Upcoming improvements to Gifts
You may have noticed that development of The Dossier has accelerated somewhat since the 1.1 release a couple of months ago. The Dossier 1.2 has only been in the App Store for a few days, but I’m already getting close to submitting 1.3.
So, what’s new in 1.3? Well, we’re adding some significant additions to Gifts! I wanted to get Gifts into everybody’s hands well before the holiday orgy of shopping got underway, but that doesn’t mean Gifts is done — far from it.
First, we’re adding details to gifts. An arrow appears beside each gift, and if you tap it you’ll be able to change the gift name, as well as enter the store you bought it at, how much you paid for it, where you’ve hidden it, as well as a website and notes.
Next, you’ll be able to check off the things you’ve already purchased. Simply tap the gift itself, and it’ll mark it as purchased. Now you’ll know what still needs buying.
All this is fine and good, but wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to see all the things you need to buy for everyone? With the new Shopping List feature, you can do this easily! Instead of just a dossier list, we’ve added a Shopping List tab:
The Shopping List will also allow you to check things off the list, so it’s great for either using while in the store, or as a place to cross things off the list when you get home.
So, there you have it, a quick preview of what’s to come. I’m not sure yet when we’ll be finished, but we’ll be sending a version to our beta testers in the next couple of days.
