Another day, another new agreement on iTunes Connect. In addition, there were some structural changes to the home page that were causing download problems; 1.7.2 fixes these issues. You can get it from the AppViz -> Check for Updates menu item.

AppViz 1.7.1.9 restores report downloading, handling the new license agreement from Apple. It also fixes a few other bugs. Details are available in the release notes.

You can get the upgrade through the link on the right or through the AppViz -> Check for Updates menu item.

iTunes Connect has gone down for the holidays, temporarily blocking AppViz from downloading reports… or so it seemed. It turns out that only the main site is down and the sales/trend report site is still available at itts.apple.com.

This version of AppViz checks for this and will download the daily and weekly reports if the sales/trend report site is up. That means that you should be able to get your reports uninterrupted over the holidays.

Happy holidays!

The holidays are upon us and Apple is doing their holiday shutdown of iTunes Connect. The black out period is scheduled for Wednesday, December 23 through the morning of Monday, December 28th. During that period the iTunes Connect site will be down, so AppViz will not be able to retrieve reports. Once service is restored on Monday AppViz will once again be able to fetch your reports, including reports for the period where Connect was down.

Happy holidays from IdeaSwarm!

Whew, what a week. Apple released a great new version of iTunes the day after we released AppViz 1.7, causing some waves in the community. Hopefully the changes help more developers out there get the recognition that they deserve.

The Top 200 and Top Grossing listings will help. We’ve added support for these in this release. The iTunes store shows Top Grossing overall, but this is actually a new ranking type like paid and free and can be retrieved per category in AppViz. If you want to see how your revenue tracks against your competitors in your category, AppViz now lets you do that.

In addition, AppViz now fetches all reviews, including historical reviews, even if that means thousands of pages. It only fetches what it needs to on each download, so this should still be fast after the first grab.

We’ve added a few other minor features and a bunch of bug fixes, including the reviews from the future bug. Check out the release notes for the details.

As always, we’re listening at support@ideaswarm.com and @AppViz on Twitter if you want to say hi, report a bug, comment on a feature, or point out this cool new app that you just pushed through the app review gauntlet.

AppViz 1.7 just went live and is ready for download.

There have also been general performance improvements and bug fixes. If you’re new to AppViz you can find out more at the AppViz page. The release notes are available here.

You can download it here or update through the AppViz -> Check for Updates menu item.

We’re starting work on the next release now. If you have feature requests or feedback we’d love to hear from you at support@ideaswarm.com or @AppViz on Twitter.

On July 29, 2009 there were some changes to the iTunes Connect website that prevented AppViz from updating the sales reports. This version contains fixes for those changes.

We’ve reworked our version numbers a bit as well; hence 1.6.4 instead of 1.6.1.9.

In other news, we’re hard at work on AppViz 1.7 which contains some great new features and many bug fixes. We hope to have it in your hands soon.

This is a bugfix release that contains fixes for the new iTunes Connect license agreement and Snow Leopard as well as a few other crashes that some users were experiencing. Please let support@ideaswarm.com know if you have further problems with these issues.

AppViz 1.6.1.5 has been released. This release has fixes for the new monthly report changes that Apple rolled out earlier this week. Please let me know at support@ideaswarm.com if you have any problems with the new release.

AppViz 1.6.1.4 was just released. This release fixes the review downloading issues that started earlier this week with Apple’s most recent iTunes rollout. Please let me know at support@ideaswarm.com if you have any further problems.
