Fantasy Football Manager – iPhone

I’ve just applied a fix to the Player Data issue, at first glance it appears to be sorted.

I’ve also updated the fixture information.

I will monitor the situation and keep you informed.

I’m sorry to say that FFM is having problems with Player Data.

For now please treat Player Data within the app as unreliable at best.

Now that I’m back in the country I am able to work on the problem more easily.

I will inform you when I’ve fixed the problem and have confidence in the data integrity again.

My apologies,

Andy

Here’s a preview of what I’m currently working on.. Basically anything that happens to any of your watch-listed players will submit an article into your news stream, linking you directly to the player for easy access. As with all the normal news items these are fully searchable, in the example I get a list of all the players who feature in the African competition. Still work in progress but I thought you might find it interesting..

Bit of a shameless plug, I have been working with the guys at PeakLocation on a new app.

This would be of interest to anyone that has any kind of interest in visiting mountain resorts, or just viewing them from afar.

With over 1,000 global resorts, expert reviews, photos, map and very soon weather reports. This app aims to be the ultimate guide.

Check their website for more details.

Version 1.3.2 is now available.

This should be the last of the bug fixes, mainly UI (user interface) corrections.

The next release will add some nice watchlist related functionality which I’ve been working on recently..

Update: 1.3.1 is now available on the AppStore.

Not so!

FFM 1.3 has an issue whereby certain regions are not receiving new News Articles.

FFM 1.3.1 has now been sent to Apple for approval which addresses this issue as well as another memory related issue which under certain circumstances could crash the app.

Until version 1.3.1 is available for download you can use the following workaround:
Temporarily change your ‘Region Format’ in your iPhone’s or iTouch’s main Settings/General/International/ Set to United Kingdom & United States.

Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience, hopefully it’ll be just a few days until 1.3.1 is available for download.

Thanks and have a Happy New Year.

Andy

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and all the best for the business end of the season.

So, while I sip an ice-cold Kingfisher on the beach in Goa I get news that Apple have reviewed and approved the long overdue 1.3 release of FFM.

This version is virtually a complete re-write and offers a lot more functionality, particularly in the area of news and player browsing.
Having done this re-write I will find it much easier to implement many more features. As usual, I’m very happy to receive comments and suggestions.

Stability is vastly improved, some rare issues will be addressed when I return to the UK.

The full name of the app has changed, this partly reflects the fact that this is not one of those 09/10 apps which you need to buy each year. It will continue to be developed and hopefully you will find it more and more useful as the season(s) goes by.

One side effect of a festive release does mean that I’m not able to update the screenshots in the AppStore for a few days while Apple’s servers undergoe some maintenance.

Enough of my rambling, enjoy the new version.

Cheers!

Andy

Finally, it’s out the door!

This is a major update with lot’s of new features.

New News section featuring the best Fantasy Football news, both RSS & Twitter all fully searchable.

Re-designed Players section as well as a much improved player details page. New additions to the player’s section are ‘All Players’, ‘Watch List’, ‘Injury List’, ‘Weekly Bonus Points’, ‘Bandwagons’ & ‘Anti-Bandwagons’.

Have a look at a few screenshots, or view the video.

It should be available on the AppStore within two weeks.

I hope this helps you during the business end of the season, squeaky bum time as SAF would say

I’ve had a number of emails asking what’s new in the upcoming version of FFM.

Well, a screenshot paints a thousand words..

An Anti-Bandwagon is the opposite if a bandwagon! Basically, which players are being sold the most. Should help you avoid a price drop for instance.

More screenshots another day, back to coding..

Just a quick note to say that I’m working hard on the next release of FFM.

This release is a major update, a couple of screenshots below.
