Since we released Spray Can 4.0 at the end of October 2011, the community gained more than 400,000 new members. This was reason enough to create an official video, which we want to introduce to you now:

This version mainly fixes the price drop pushes and the custom lists, but there are many little tweaks and changes under the hood as well. Detail views should load much faster now and we have fixed some problems with the daily reminder.

The development of appbzr has been a little slow in the last few months. We focused on other projects and the main developer has left the project, but we have found a more than adequate substitute. Since our appbzr users are very loyal, we will keep making updates for you.

By the way, please check out our newest project: AppFlux – maybe this will find it’s way into appbzr in the future.

Here is the full changelog:

•  price drop pushes fixed
• custom lists are now correctly backed up on the server
• faster loading times for app detail views
• problems with hot list have been resolved
• fixed a bug with the 24h reminder
• fixed a bug when mailing a custom list

You can now browse the hottest apps for iPhone and iPad on the big screen. We also improved the speed and stability further, to give you the best experience when looking for new and fun apps.

If you already own Hot App Finder, please check out the AppStore to get the latest version, otherwise click here: Hot App Finder 2.0

This Version is a complete redesign of the old concept, putting all user feedback together to bring you the best Spray Can experience. The app has been completely rewritten and modernized. We added a new user interface, OpenGL support, iPad support, push messages and much more.

As with all *.0 versions, we may have missed some bugs. Please report them to us via the feedback button in the app.  We will try to resolve any issues as fast as possible. If you like the new version please let us know, too. Maybe you know something that would make Spray Can even better?

We also improved the background graphics, added an optical hint for the list slider and added more space between the icons of the home view.

Unfortunately Apple changed an important part of their Store API at the same weekend. They did not tell us of course. This lead to the Hot Lists not being available and the Top100 lists were broken, too. Thanks to our server developers, we could fix the Hot App feature (please say thanks to him, because he worked all night…). The Top 100 lists are working again, as I write this news.

You can read the full changelog in the settings of appbzr. If you have any issues, please let us know via the feedback button.

If you have any issues, please send us an email with a detailed description. We are happy to help.

We are also still searching for beta testers that help us try out the new features we want to integrate in the next version.

So far we have received reports that some people no longer have issues, while other problems remain. Today we finally found the reason why some people still have crashes: when you press one of the icons of the homescreen longer than two seconds, the app crashes. If you just tap and release, the app works fine. Apparently none of our testers have seen this issue.

Another update is on it’s way to fix this behavior.

Please don’t write bug reports into the AppStore reviews. We can’t answer them and we often need more information about an issue to find and fix it.

Regarding push messages:
With the new appbzr, we have introduced a new system for pushes – now you won’t be remembered to open the app when you have done this in the last 24 hours. However, we are thinking about making this an option.

we humbly apologize for the frequent crashes in the last version. It seems that many of the crashes occurred because of an old library, we missed to remove. We didn’t see the crashes in our beta tests because a new install seemed to solve the problems and we all had reinstalled the new version.
Nonetheless we are very sorry for this and we have used the weekend to track all issues that were reported to us. We asked Apple for a high priority update and if they grant it, the update should be available in 2 days (otherwise 7).

We hope to have removed all issues, but we can’t make sure in this short time. That’s why we want to ask you to help us with future updates. If you are a passionate appbzr user and want to help rapidrabbit develop its products, please take part in our beta tests by filling out this form:

If you are experiencing issues with missing lists and you are a german Vodafone user, please contact us: iphone@rapidrabbit.de. We finally managed to speak with them and we may be able to solve this issue.

The whole app has been rewritten to make room for the features to come. It may not look much different, but the underlying code is now much easier to maintain for us, making it possible to add more features step by step. We also redesigned the server side of the appbzr – making it much faster and supporting some new features that we want to introduce within the next months. Rather than going for one big update we decided to go for many small updates, always checking for your feedback.

As always, you can get the Update via the AppStore.

If you experience any issues, please let us know in the comments or use the feedback option in the settings.
