Windows Phone Updates: LCARS Simulator and LCARS Personnel bug fixes, Next update soon for LCARS Interface!

A lot has been going on for each one of our LCARS Windows Phone apps this week!

Let's go through them one at a time...

LCARS Simulator: New release TODAY which should resolve a visual bug with the red alert animation when "Extra Animations" is enabled. We will also be taking another look at some of the UI for this app to make it easier to use across multiple device resolutions in a coming update.

LCARS Personnel: This app has the same visual bug as the LCARS Simulator app, but due to already having a new update for that one in progress when it was discovered (which is still being certified by Microsoft), the fix will not be applied until the following update after that. We intend to submit that one as soon as the current one is approved! We ended up needing to re-submit our update for a different reason, so this fix will now be in the next update! We also have a nice new feature for the Windows Phone 8 version in the current update, but we will announce what that is after it is released soon.

LCARS Interface: This one has had quite a bit of work within the past week or so, and the change log keeps growing by the day. In addition to adding the extra animations already available in LCARS Simulator and LCARS Personnel, we are also adding a LOT more animations! This app is really going to feel alive after this update when you have "Extra Animations" enabled. We also have some big performance improvements to go along with it, so the app should feel more responsive in some areas such as Weather as well.

Speaking of the Weather module, someone told us in a 4 star review that we'd get the 5th star if we make the weather work on a live tile. Ask and you shall receive, because if you add the Weather tile from the Settings menu, it will indeed be a Live Tile in this next update!

There is also a brand new module being added (actually 2 for Windows Phone 8), and we have gone over many of the modules and fixed the UI to work better on smaller screens/lower resolutions than it did previously.

We are currently still beta testing all of the new changes, and hope to have this update submitted for approval within the next few days. This one should definitely be worth the wait!

Oh, and we've also been working on adding another new module to LCARS Interface for Windows 8 too!
