A couple of new things

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 14:02:55 -0800

We apologize for the lack of updates as of late but we’ve been very busy creating some awesome new iPhone apps for you. We’re still a couple weeks away from launching, but they’re coming and they’re going to knock your socks off. If you’re interested in beta testing for us, send an email to nolan [at] bitfires [dot] com with the subject “BETA TEST”.

Also for all of our fellow iPhone developers, we have something very special for you in the pipeline. If you want a sneak peek, send a email to the same address above with the subject “SNEAK PEEK”.

Veterans Day

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:31:50 -0800

Today is Veterans Day and we just wanted to remind all of our customers to do what they can to honor the veterans that have fought for this country.

Both Chris and I proudly served in the US Navy, serving tours of duty around the world and we wanted to take today to honor those who came before us and those still serving their country.

Please, take a minute today to thank a veteran and their family for everything they have sacrifice for our continuing freedom. Believe us when we say a handshake and a thank you makes it all worth it.

Tumble Pro is now available in the App Store for only $1.99. You can now view your Dashboard, change post options, use multiple accounts and more. But don’t worry, Tumble Pro is just as easy to use and simple as the original Tumble.

Announcing Tumble Pro

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 10:14:02 -0700

Over the past month we’ve been working hard on new applications and updates to our existing ones. Today we’re proud to announce Tumble Pro, the best way to publish and view your Tumblr on your iPhone.

With Tumble Pro you can use multiple accounts, add your location to posts, view your dashboard, post to your groups and many more new features. Don’t worry though, Tumble Pro is just as simple and easy to use as the original Tumble.

We will be submitting it to the App Store this week so keep an eye out for it soon.

We've sold Call a Cab

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 06:34:00 -0700

Hi everyone. Recently our application Call a Cab was acquired by CABBUX, LLC and will no longer be sold under the Bitfire Systems name. We will continue to provide support for Call a Cab, in addition to a version of the program released by CABBUX under a different name. So please keep sending your questions this way. Thanks.

Tumble continues to get positive reviews

Tumble continues to get positive reviews:

Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback on Tumble. We noticed a minor error in 1.1, so please ignore our spelling fault for a few days and we will have it corrected as soon as Apple can post our 1.1.1 update.

Also, check out Call a Cab for your iPhone in the App Store.

It looks like our update to Tumble is taking longer then expected to reach the App Store so if you are a blogger and are reviewing Tumble, send me an email (nolan [at] bitfires [dot] com) and we’ll get you the new version via the Ad-Hoc method.

People love Tumble, but it's not perfect

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 02:14:00 -0700

Most of the reactions we’ve seen so far for Tumble have been very positive and we’re very happy for that. A few bugs have been brought to our attention and we got right on it to fix them. Tonight we submitted the Tumble 1.1 update to fix all those issues including telling you when you’re logged in, alerting you when you’ve posted successfully and adding an indicator to show the application is working to submit your post to tumblr.

We’ve also added a feature to save your own QuickPosts and quickly use them and changed the icons just to make it a little more pretty. We can admit that we made some mistakes, it was going to happen eventually so we might as well get it out of the way. We are committed to making great software for you and all our customers so please let us know if there is anything we can improve upon in any of our applications.

Tumble is now available

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:11:00 -0700

Tumble, the first and only Tumblr client for the iPhone and iPod touch, is now available in the App Store for free! We hope you all enjoy it but we’re already working hard to bring more features to Tumble. If you have any suggestions we’d love to hear them, you can get ahold of us here.

Check it out in the App Store!

Hi everyone, I’m Nolan, CTO of Bitfire Systems. I wanted to introduce myself to all of you and let you in on the good news. We’ve added our second iPhone application to the Apple App Store.

Call a Cab, a simple, intuitive application that makes getting a cab as a easy as pressing a button. We figure that after a fun time going out, you may need to get taxi at the end of the night. Instead of searching for a cab company online or walking around trying to hail one, we take care of all the work. We get your location, find the cab companies nearest to you and tell you the nearest cross streets so you know where you are. All you have to do is choose a cab to call, or if you don’t care just press the large call button to get one one on the phone right away.

Use Call a Cab to get home safe.

Powering up.

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 13:12:00 -0700

Hi everyone, thanks for checking out our blog. We are excited to be releasing our first applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch within the next few days. Please look for Tumble, a blogging application that makes interfacing with your Tumblr account effortless, and the much-anticipated Receipts. With Receipts, you can get rid of that annoying paper and track all of your purchases on your iPhone or iPod.

Please let us know if you have a suggestion about how to make our applications better. We appreciate all the feedback you have sent us so far and love hearing about how you use our programs. You can email us at the address below.

We will be releasing many more applications in the coming months, so look here for announcements of updates and new applications. Thanks!

~Chris
