Beer Me!™ mobile for Android, version 1.11.1

This new version of Beer Me!™ mobile for Android fixes a problem some users were having with brewery searches failing when GPS was not enabled.

Automatic updates should begin tonight. But you can't get an update if you don't buy the app!

A new chapter

I'll be leaving in an hour or two for Okoboji, Iowa, as my career begins following a new tangent.

Premier Stainless Systems is a brewery equipment manufacturer in Escondido CA. They've been phenomenally busy building and installing new systems, so they posted an ad looking for a new installer. I answered the ad, and I guess they liked what they heard, because they asked me to join them at West O Beer for my "first training install". I'll go along with one of their installers to several customers for training, and if I don't screw it up, they'll start sending me out on my own.

I'm pretty excited about this. I've been out of the brewery business for almost four years, and I have wanted nothing more than to get hands-on again. And everybody I've talked to has nothing but praise for Rob and his crew, so I think I've hooked up with some real good people.

I just hope I get to Okoboji before the weather gets nasty.

Version 1.11.0 problems fixed

I've received reports of "Network error" messages when users searched for breweries using the app. I'm pretty sure this is fixed, and a new release won't be necessary. Let me know if it's working — or not — for you.

Beer Me!™ mobile for Android, version 1.11.0

I just uploaded the latest version — 1.11.0 — of Beer Me!™ mobile for Android. It should be available on Google Play by this evening.

Changes in 1.11.0
=================
- Now you can actually try again when you see the "Network error, try again" message
- Clicking on a link in a Beer Note will take you to the appropriate screen in the app instead of to beerme.com
- The hardware Search button works again
- Brewery names are not included in map searches, resulting in more accurate results
- The Beer Detail screen displays more details about the beer
- Entering your own Beer Notes should be a little easier now
- And more...

Down

Beer Me! is down at the moment due to database issues.

Beer Me! mobile uses the same database, so it's not working either.

Thanks for your patience while we get this resolved.

Android app version 1.10.0

Version 1.10.0 of the Beer Me! mobile app for Android will be available for download sometime this evening. If you've already purchased the app, thanks! You should be getting an automatic update shortly. If you haven't purchased the app, what are you waiting for?
