Hey guys,
We have just released a new version of fring for the iPhone.
This updated version includes:
- Improved dialer (a drop-down list with country flags, saves typing in the country code)
- Improved GUI
- New ‘Settings’: Hide/show phone contacts; hide/show offline users
- A few Bug fixes
- Always-on Add-on
The “Always-on Add-on” is designed to solve the fact that Apple doesn’t allow application to run in background. This is how it will work:
- iPhone fringsters subscribe to the add-on in order to use it (through the add-on catalog)
- Once you log out of fring, your buddies will still see you as logged in (green) if they message you, you will get notifications by e-mail whenever someone calls/chats.
- The e-mail is sent to your mail client on the device itself and contains a link.
- The link takes the fringster directly to the message he’d missed on fring itself.
This feature will be rolled- out gradually, 1st in the US & UK…the duration of which your friends will see you as “online” may vary, based on your geo location and will be adjusted by us, over the next few days, based on users’ feedback” This service will eventually be in line with Apple’s 3.0 firmware and new notification feature.
To get it, simply download the update from App Store.
As always, we’d love to get your comments and remember if you continue to give us your great feedback, we’ll continue to make fring even better!
