Version 4.6 now available

Version 4.6 is now available on the Web site.

The Home page has been updated to make it focused, easier to read, and more capable than ever. Over 1,000 Publishers are now listed, with many more in the Mystery genre included.

Beyond this, it may seem that little else changed, but look again. Every part of the UI has been pored over in detail, polished, organized, and essentially made into the best that we could imagine. Performance has been improved, and bugs (alas some bugs were found) were fixed.

We hope you enjoy the product. We believe in our byline, Professional Submission Tracking Software for the Writer. The product is truly professional level and designed to improve your productivity. This product is designed to help you get your work published.

We wish you all the best with your writing.

-Doug.

Version 4.5 Released

Smart fields, better tabs, and a cleaner user interface…plus the addition of Word Clouds for Stories. We also worked on multi-language support by improving our translations and the User Guides for each language. The application’s user interface has been further streamlined, showing you what you need, when you need it, reducing clicks and unnecessary navigation. We continue to update the pre-loaded database of Publishers to show the most recent status for which Publishers are currently open or closed to submissions. This is a free upgrade for all 4.x customers.

Version 4.3

Version 4.3 was released today!

This is a free update for all 4.0 and later users. The main focus of this release was to improve the interface and not add functionality.

We added support for a font that some users prefer if they are dsylexic. However, the key aspect of this release was to make the application easier to read and navigate. Column headers are now frozen and the column header labels are easier to read. This readability improvement extends to the iOS environment also.

Filters are better organized and there is simply a cleaner look to the application throughout. You may also hide the Application Name and your User Name to so it does not obstruct your view of the banner graphic.

We hope you enjoy the new version and that you are productive in getting your work published.

Okay, I need some feedback on how well the software works under Windows 8. I need feedback on the full Intel-based version. It will obviously not work in Windows 8 RT. If you are the first person to try it AND provide written feedback in the form of a Comment to this Post, you will receive one free copy of this software. Download and install the PC version of the trial software. I believe it should run fine, as does with Windows 7, but until it is tried and thoroughly tested under this platform, who knows. Windows 8 is not yet a supported platform.

Please let me know the following:

  1. Does it install correctly? Any errors, if yes please detail the problems.
  2. Does it run correctly, can you create or edit a record?
  3. Can you uninstall the software without any problems?
  4. Any other issues, such as font, sizing of screens, performance, etc.?

Thanks. And good luck on being the first.

-Doug.
