CSV Stuff

Fridge Friend and Fridge Friend Lite 2.2 have just been posted.  Based on a user suggestion, we added the ability to export the data in Fridge Friend so you can use it outside your phone.  The export data option is available via the menu on the main screen.

This option will create a CSV (Comma Separated Value) file, and creates an email with the file as an attachment.  A CSV file is a versatile option that can easily be used in spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice Calc.

This is just another example of the great user feedback we've received.  If you have something you'd like to see in one of our apps, just ask!

Another Fridge Friend Update

We're happy to announce the addition of bar code scanning to both the free and paid versions of Fridge Friend. One of the major challenges on a mobile device is data entry, and having the ability to scan a bar code to enter an item greatly speeds up the process.  We hope this feature will greatly enhance the user experience.  Please note that the free Barcode Scanner app is required to use this feature.  If you try to scan without the Scanner app installed, Fridge Friend will give you the option to download it.  Please let us know what you think, and happy Memorial Day!

Fridge Friend Update

We're excited to have just uploaded Fridge Friend v1.2.  In this version, we've added notifications to let you know when items have entered the Red Zone without having to open the app.  These alerts are controlled by a Preferences setting.

To enable alerts, check the "Use Alerts" preference.  Alert time is used to determine what time of the day the alerts will go off at.  This defaults to 12:00AM, but you can change it to whatever time would be most useful for you.  A notification will appear once per day when there are items in the Red Zone.  Check it out and let us know what you think!

Roadmap

Hi everybody, just wanted to check in with an update.  We feel it's a good idea to give occasional updates to let you know the direction we're heading with new development projects.  In the near future, we're looking to release a new budget manager app, as well as an update for Fridge Friend which will give the user the ability to get notifications when items enter the "red zone."  Please feel free to let us know what you think.  Thanks!
