This week in LCARS....

I'm going to try and update this blog more frequently so that it actually seems like a blog again instead of just an announcement feed for updates. For the end user it may seem like not much goes on in between the app updates, so this should keep you in the loop on just how much we have going on right now! It's tough to keep up with everything from the app updates, updating this website, and working on new products as well!

Aside from general support for all of our apps in all app markets, we are also building updates for the LCARS Interface apps for both Windows 8 as well as continuing the process of bringing the Windows Phone app(s) up to speed.

So far it seems that the recent Release 25 for the LCARS Interface Windows 8 app is running smoothly. We are hard at work on designing the next module for that, while also being very close to finishing an update to the Windows Phone app. This next phone update will bring audio and video log recording very similar to that is available in the Windows 8 app. Those features did not transfer over quite as easily as some others which is why they did not make it into the initial release. We also now have some new Windows Phone hardware in house, and that should increase productivity on the phone apps by a huge amount! Once the log module is complete, the productivity side of the phone app will match the Windows 8 app for all of the modules that are practical to have. The file system for the phone is drastically different and much more locked down on the phone, so a file manager doesn't make any sense there. A media player also doesn't make much sense due to the way the phone handles media.

If there are any other must-have apps for the phone, please let us know! Future updates to the phone app will feature more use of the device sensors which will give you a bit of tricorder type functionality. There are some very exciting plans in the pipeline for both the Windows 8 and Windows Phone versions.

We also continue progress on our secret project that we are hoping will come to the light later this year if we can find enough time to work on it!. Lots of exciting things happening around here so stay tuned! Keep sending in your feedback/feature requests and we thank you all for the wonderful reviews we get in the stores. Those of you who do not rate us 5 stars yet, we will continue making every effort to make your app experience as good as possible! The updates to these apps aren't stopping any time soon.
