ShopSavvy is current available on Android (Droid, Hero, Nexus, Eris, G1, MyTouch) and iPhone 3GS. We are currently working on versions for:
Android (Tattoo, Lancaster – i.e. non-AF cameras) – April 2010
iPhone (2G/3G – i.e. non-AF cameras) – March 2010
Windows Mobile – May 2010
Blackberry – May 2010
PalmOS – June 2010
Based on our current workload and staff these dates seem reasonable. Of course, our iPhone version took us almost three months longer than we expected (and we still don’t have the 2G/3G working well). We get LOTS of emails each day, hopefully this update will help.
Got this email from a user who just got back from Haiti and thought I would share it.
Alex,
I was in Haiti a couple of weeks ago rescuing people after the earthquake when I was looking for a way to make the donation money that was tricking in go further to buy more shovels and water for the rescue efforts. I pulled out my iphone and used ShopSavvy to find a great deal at the local Target on rope and a torch blower. It helpd us save 4 peoples lives.
Chad
Of course I am confident Chad would have been able to save those four lives without ShopSavvy, we appreciate the story.
We just released version 1.3 of ShopSavvy for the iPhone and it seems to be working for almost everyone. We have several test phones – 2G, 3G and 3GS. We even have 3GS phones running OS 3.0. In each case we have tested ShopSavvy over the past week without any sort of crash. However, almost everytime we update the app someone finds a crash. If the crash is obvious (as it was in 1.1) we don’t really need much help – just a release to the iTunes store (i.e. it take about a week). If the crash is NOT obvious (i.e. we can duplicate it) we need help. There is a way you can help if you are seeing a crash in 1.3 (or higher). Just send us the crash report. Aleksandar Vacić wrote a great instructional post on how to get the report for those of you who don’t know how to extract the report. Read it here. Email results to support@biggu.com
I think we are now on our 3.6 version of ShopSavvy for Android and it seems as though about 1% of users have the ‘force close’ issue. For most a simple uninstall, reinstall and reboot solves everything. For some of you this doesn’t work. Again, we have never been able to repeat this force close issue (and we have a LOT of Android phones). If you can go to the Android market and download the Log Collector App and then run ShopSavvy the app will collect the crash report. Get ShopSavvy to crash a couple of times and then open the Log Collector App and email the results to support@biggu.com.
In both cases users that send us a crash report with a ShopSavvy issue will get a ShopSavvy t-shirt and associated schwag. Just send us your address and shirt size.
Architel is the 2010 sponsor of the monthly Startup Happy Hour. The regular get together of between 20-80 entrepreneurs began in 2008 when Alexander Muse, my business partner sent an email to a few of his friends suggesting they invite a few entrepreneurs to the High Tech Bar in our building for a get together. Over the past couple of years more than 2,500 entrepreneurs have shared a beer (or two) with us. As part of their 2010 community engagement effort Architel is becoming the official sponsor of the event.
Are you an entrepreneur? Do you work for a startup or small business? Looking for a job? Looking for a partner? Looking for angel investment? Come on by for a drink and some fellowship with like-minded folks from North Texas. The event is in the INFOMART (1950 Stemmons Freeway) at the corner of Oak Lawn and I-35. We get started around 5PM, hope to see you there. Just RSVP here.
If you have a 3GS you will LOVE version 1.3 of ShopSavvy. This version of ShopSavvy is FASTER than our Android version (again only for 3GS users). It seems like version 1.3 is live in the iTunes market for most users. The early reviews from 3GS users are very positive. If you are a 3GS user please take a minute to give this release a new rating (i.e. 5 stars would be nice as we have a lot of negative comments to overcome). The speed increase is only the first of MANY very cool things yet to come. Over the next few weeks ShopSavvy is going to get much more useful for shopping. Check it out:
(2G/3G users will have to wait a few weeks for the same speed 3GS users are experiencing)
