Gun Log 2.4

Apple corrected the "one star" review that was placed on Gun Log by mistake. Thanks to those that reviewed or said the erroneous review was "not helpful".

Please review Gun Log 2.4

I just checked and no one is reviewing the latest version of Gun Log.

There is one review that is "one star". But it is a mistake because the features mentioned are not features of Gun Log. If you click the reviewer's name link to see the other reviews you will see where he had reviewed a different range log application which does advertise the features that are complained that do not work. An honest mistake. But "one star" sure wipes out the Gun Log. Bad luck for me.

So, if you haven't reviewed the app, please do so. If you give it one star that is fine, just make sure you are giving one star to the right app! :-)

Gun Log 2.4

I just received notice that Gun Log 2.4 is approved and should be available shortly.

Gun Log version 2.4 contains new features in the areas of maintenance and firing sets.

In maintenance you can now easily indicate come tasks such as:
- Quick Clean
- Field Strip
- Detailed Strip
- Replaced Parts

In a firing set you can now:
- Take a picture of a target

The picture is stored in Gun Log as a JPEG image of medium quality. The high quality image remains in the standard location for the camera.

- The Date Picker now defaults to the current date.
- Better memory usage in low memory situations.
- Preparations for future feature releases.

Gun Log version 2.3 and 2.4

Tonight I released Gun Log 2.3 to the iTunes App Store. I immediately downloaded it and ran it. Unfortunately there was a problem. I removed it from the App Store immediately. However, some of you may have downloaded the update in that short interim. If so, please wait until version 2.4 releases. It typically takes two or three days to get an app reviewed.

If version 2.3 hangs just restart your iOS device. No data will be lost or anything like that. Version 2.4 does not loose data between versions 2.2 or 2.3. Sorry for the problem, I am correcting it as fast as possible.

Gun Log 2.2 is now available.

I just verified that version 2.2 is available and the update works and I did not lose any data during the process.

Since it was my first update I was a bit nervous. I would feel awful if the app didn't download and keep your data.

As I learn this process I do appreciate those that have purchased the application. It is a risk that every user takes and I do not consider it lightly.

Gun Log 2.2 updates the database. Now that I know that I can do that correctly my confidence increases that I can deliver features.

Gun Log 2.2 has a new "Rounds Fired" report and new data fields in weapon configuration and ammunition.

The new report and new fields follow the same pattern of data input and reports in Gun Log 2.1 so at this time I am not doing a tutorial for them.

Thank you again for your support and please rate the app. I just need a few more ratings for an average to show up in the App Store.

Gun Log 2.2 almost ready

Gun Log 2.2 is almost ready.

Thanks to lots of feed back I have made some important modifications to Gun Log.

The "bullet make" was not always saved. That has been fixed.

A new report has been added for "rounds fired". This report is very useful.

In preparation for version 2.3 some additional fields have been made available in the User Interface. There are several fields in the database that haven't been exposed yet because the feature hasn't been fully designed.

Added fields in the Weapons Configuration:

• Sights
• Sight height
• Barrel twist rate
• Zero distance (the distance at which the configuration is zeroed)

Added fields in Ammo:

• Ballistic Coefficient
• Muzzle Velocity

These fields will be useful for features to come in version 2.3.

Thank you for your feedback and support.

If you are concerned about data security...

If you are concerned about data security let me explain how Gun Log works. Warning, there will be some technical terms some of which may be used correctly. ;-)

The Gun Log 2.1 app does NOT:

• Does not use the location manager.
• Does not us NSLog to capture information about weapons.
• Does not send any data from the iOS device in any way.

When you back up any iPhone app with iTunes the data is obviously stored on your machine that runs iTunes.

If you are worried about your weapon information being viewed if the iPhone/iPod/iPad is lost or stolen then be wise about the data you enter into Gun Log or any app.

If you are worried about weapon serial numbers then don't enter them.

If you are worried about listing the makes and models just enter a nick name that you will remember and associate to the proper weapon. The nick name is a very handy feature of the Gun Log!

If you store information on any device that could be lost or stolen then you should secure the device with a password.
