I’ve released a new version of my iPhone app, which is now available for download on the App Store. It took a lot less time this time to get it released because I didn’t have to go through any contract signing stages, I just had to upload the binary and await review.

So, get downloading if you have an iPhone! [Also, reviews pllllease!]

After 6 days of being available, my iPhone application Subnet Calc has had around 1500 downloads, but ZERO reviews! I’d very much appreciate it if some people could review the app, please?

Also, in more interesting news, I submitted version 1.1 on Monday which hopefully Apple will accept very shortly and then that shall be available for download. New features include the ability to name subnets and save them to a table for easy access.

Well, Apple have finally let my iPhone application through the process of application and I now have my contract set up, so future releases should be a lot quicker. If you’d like to try it out, then you can download it through the App Store by searching for ‘Subnet Calc’. So, anyone with an iPhone / iPod Touch, please download it and review it!

Thanks Apple!

Well, Subnet Calc is still in Apple’s pipeline under the status of ‘Pending Contract’. This means that Apple havn’t accepted my free applications contract yet – over 2 weeks since I submitted it. I’m not the only developer to run into this kind of problem and I really hope it gets resolved soon. The contracts department at Apple say it’s the finance department which need to sort out this phase, so I guess I’m just going to have to wait and see really.

So, come on Apple, please accept me!

I’ve finally submitted my application to the App Store today . It’s called Subnet Calc and there’s only one application on the App Store which does a similar sort of thing. So I’m hoping that it gets accepted!

You can follow the progress of it at http://iphone.galloway.me.uk/iphone-apps/subnet-calc/ – I’ll be moving over to a dedicated section of my site at some point, but for now, it’s hosted on this blog.

So when my app is out – please download it and try it out!

Here’s the latest screenshot:

I finally decided to pay my cash and join the iPhone developer program. It’s a fair amount of cash, but I thought that I’d take the plunge and thought that it might give me more of a push to actually create applications for the iPhone. Also, it means I can compile applications and put them onto my iPod Touch!

So I’ve managed to get my current development application up and running on my iPod. It’s called ipCalc and it’s designed for network admins who constantly use the command line tool, ipcalc, to find various bits of information about the subnet they’re working on. The maths behind the code is pretty straightforward, but hard enough that it gave me some design issues to overcome. But it’s now looking pretty good and I’ve been cleaning up the code with the aim to (hopefully) submit it to the iTunes App Store. It would be absolutely awesome to get something on the App Store!

Also, here’s 3 screenshots from my app actually running on my iPod Touch – yay!
