Blogaway API quota limits increased

As per our last update, we have been constantly hitting the quota limit for API requests for a few days. It was for a few days, and so, users could have experienced a few problems due to that.

But now, we have got a higher quota limit for Blogaway, and there shouldn't be any service interruptions from the applications.

Also, we have our new "Privacy Policy" and "Terms of Service" setup, which was needed for getting a quota upgrade from Google.

Keep blogging, and do let us know how we can improve Blogaway.

New Update to Blogaway and Blogaway Pro

That was a long gap I think. But, we have added quite some new features, which needed extensive testing.

There has been a bunch of bug fixes which were pending for a long time and were very irritating. The most important one was:

You couldn't write a post with accentuated characters in the title or in the labels fields. This was a problem for the non-english characters, where users then had to go and manually change them later on the web. Although, the post content was able to handle these characters properly, it must have been very frustrating for the users to do that each time they hit publish. Now, that's fixed.

And the feature list is quite a handful this time.

Features:

• Navigate to post from Posts map
• Show blog stats
• Accentuated characters were not being displayed in Title and Tags
• Revert published/scheduled posts to draft
• Publishing a draft post
• Scheduling a post
• Deleting posts
• Viewing and editing "Drafts" and "Scheduled" posts

And various bug fixes

Blog Stats (Page Views)

Here's a screenshot for the Stats page. Hope you would like it.

There could be a few odd behaviors as always, because of the substantial upgrade of features and code-base, as usual. So, if you find a bug, or if you want any help, do write to us, and we would be more than happy to help you.




Blogaway Pro: The introductory price still is at $1.49 for some more time. Grab your copy till it's that cheap. May be for a week more or two.

And, as always, we aren't resting yet. We are already busy adding new features, and polishing up the existing ones. Don't forget to rate us on the Play Store.

Till the next update, Happy Blogging.

Blogaway v5.0

Finally, Blogaway got a long-awaited updated. Version 5.0 is now live on the play store. Although it's a minor update, I am getting back to work on it, to improve it and crunch away all the existing bugs.

It's been a really long time. And it would take a lot more time to spruce up the app. We need all your support and feedback.












If you are interested in alpha-testing builds, please sign up for this Google+ Community.

Note: Blogaway will now have ads. 

I know it's not a good way to go. But I guess, I should try and get some revenue for the amount of time and effort that I have put in. And also, you would probably appreciate the fact that, till this point of time, Blogaway has been free. As regards to having it as a paid app, I don't think in it's current state, it is worth to put it out for sale.

Please update Blogaway, and keep sending your feedbacks. And this time, Blogaway would definitely see more frequent updates.

Cheers!!! Happy Blogging...

Blogaway Update v4.6 released

A new version of Blogaway is now available on the Market. We have basically added two features:

1. Apps 2 SD
2. Support for multiple screen sizes

However, the artworks and the layouts haven't been adjusted yet. Please update or install the latest release to take advantage of these features. We would be updating the app soon to give better experience for multiple size screens, for tablets too. :)

Blogaway Update v4.57

Blogaway has been having a few issues of late. Especially, related to reading of posts and edit features. We have changed the database structure a bit, to include the html link to your posts which is used in "Share" option. So, your old posts that you must have already had one your phones would not have this new column. And so, problems.

In the recent update, we have tried to remove all your old posts from your phone which do not have this column filled. As a result, some of your old posts would be deleted locally from your phone. Sorry for that.

Also, the Edit feature bug has been fixed. Please update Blogaway to the latest version.

We would also like to mention that we have been receiving a lot of mails and complaints from users. We appreciate your feedback, bug reports and suggestions. Please keep them coming. We will try our best to reply to each of your queries through mail.

Update on Blogaway Lite : Still under beta. We have plans of adding lots of new features with the Lite version. If you have any suggestions for any features, you can either mail us or leave a comment here. 

Thanks and Regards,

Blogaway Team(Follow us on  Twitter @blogaway)

Blogaway Update v4.55 available

This new update fixes quite a few problems that users have been reporting. There was a bug which downloaded posts saved as drafts and displayed them as normal posts. And for some, these drafts were shown as drafts, but when you open the post to view, it displayed "null" in the Reader.

This has been fixed now. For now, your drafts will still be downloaded and will be shown as drafts, but you cannot open these posts. When you go to blogger and finally publish this draft, and come back and refresh the list, then you will be able to view the posts.

Do let us know your feedback and issues if any.

Blogaway Update v4.5

A new update of Blogaway is available on the Android Market. Below are some of the issues that are addressed with this update.

1. Reading of private blogs
2. View comments on private blogs
3. Comment on private blogs 

Thanks for your feedback and support. We hope you like Blogaway. Please let us know about issues/bugs if you encounter any.

Blogaway Update v4.4

Blogaway now supports users with Custom domains on Google Apps for Domains. This is still being tested, but the basics work. Posting, viewing, commenting and uploading pictures work.

A few things you have to keep in my mind.
- Your Apps account password and Blogger account password should be same.
- Your Apps account password and Picasa Web account password should also be same.

In short, for the time being, Blogaway will not work if you have different login credentials for these services. If you run into problems, do let us know. You can also enter bugs in our bug tracker.

http://code.google.com/p/blogaway/issues/list

Blogaway had some unused permissions. They have been removed. Also, we have now removed the Ad support that was introduced in the previous update.

For GAFYD accounts, youtube is not yet a part of the services offered to it's users. So, with such accounts you will not be able to upload videos to their blogs. We will try to find a workaround for that.

Blogaway v4.1

With this update, you can add signatures to your posts.

1. Go to Settings screen.
2. Check the "Signature" option.
3. Enter a custom signature that you wish to be appended with your posts.

Currently, you can only enter signatures as simple text. We will be working on this feature and extend this so that you can put links in you signature.

If you enable signatures, the signature will be appended to each blog that you post from Blogaway. You cannot selectively set/enable signatures for a particular blog.

Do send us your comment, feedback and issues so that we can make "Blogaway", a better blogger client for Android.

Blogaway now for more devices

With the recent update to Blogaway, we have made sure that people having problems of finding this app on their phones can now find it easily.

Just search for Blogaway on the Android Market, and you should be able to find it. Still, if you don't find it and need a copy, send us a mail, and we would be happy to send you the same.

Hope you enjoy blogaway.
Happy Blogging.

Blogaway's next Update

We will be introducing the edit feature for posts in the next update. BUt, since this feature will be a new addition, this might have a lot of small bugs which you should be aware of.

-Editing posts with formatting is still possible, but you cannot change the formatting of already formatted texts.

-If you have pics/videos on your post, you can only edit the texts in such cases. Pics/Videos will appear as blue boxes. Please be careful with those, because, if by mistake you delete them, your pics and posts will be gone.

Also, with the next update, we will be enabling the "Share with" option for Blogaway, so that, right from your gallery, you can create a post with a picture or a video without going through the process of attaching a pic/video.

This was a feature requested by one of "Blogaway's" user.

With subsequent updates, you will definintely notice better edit handling of posts and more new and cool features.

Till then, BLOGAWAY!!!!
