Say, “Hello” to Mobility Digest 2.0 for WP7

appV2

Behold version 2.0 of our Window Phone app! We at Mobility Digest love our readers, and to show my personal appreciation for all of you(especially our WP7 readers, because let’s face it, I’m totally biased) I’ve done my best to unleash a host of new additions to this version of our Windows Phone app. I might not be the most skilled, knowledgeable, or talented developer for Windows Phone 7(actually, I’m quite sure I’m not), but I try my best to make up for it in effort.

I rewrote the entire app from the ground up. This new code allowed me to integrate some extra features which weren’t possible with the v1.0 code. I hope you’ll all enjoy using it, as much as I enjoyed making it for you guys! I tried to make the layout more user-friendly. Scrolling back and forth every time you wanted to change categories was not very efficient and has been replaced with a better design.

I know I promised in-app articles with reflowed text for easier reading, but I was unable to figure it out before submitting it to the Marketplace. I have since solved that problem and you can all look forward to reading articles without having to zoom around in the browser in version 2.1. So take it for a spin, and let me know what you think about the update in the comments below or via the in app feedback button on the about page.
