Now that’s what I call a Tumblr Tuesday.
Listenr 1.4 is a bit more than just bugfixes though. Large swaths of the app have been rewritten to take advantage of the new Tumblr API.
The most notable addition in this release is native reblogging support.
Also, a brief note on streaming problems and crashes: up until now, I’ve been using the wonderful AudioStreamer Class written by Matt Gallagher for audio playback, but I’ve realized over the past few months that this solution is inadequate for Listenr’s needs. I’m now in the process of rewriting the audio streaming portion of the app from scratch and will hopefully be done soon.
One last thing: I’m looking to start translating Listenr into different languages. If any users out there are fluent in another language, I’d love your help. Send an email or Tumblr Message my way.
That’s right. I’ve decided to make the app free for the time being. The plan is to add some super awesome paid features in upcoming releases, but the core functionality of Listenr will remain available pro bono. Much thanks to everyone who supported me by purchasing the app over the last few months. Now on to the new features:
The two big ones this time are Last.fm Scrobbling and Search. Also, all avatars and post metadata is stored locally on your phone, so this should result in a snappier experience.
To enable Last.fm scrobbling, just head on over to the Settings App, and under Listenr, flip the switch to ON. The next time you open the app, you’ll be asked once for your credentials. Rest assured, Listenr never stores your Last.fm password.
Enjoy! Leave a nice review if you dig the app. And if not, pop me an email or a Tumblr message. I’m always open to suggestions.
Grab it. Tell your friends. Give me your feedback.
And if you think 1.2 is nice, just wait a week or two. Did somebody say last.fm scrobbling?
