Muezzin update approved

Hi folks -

The Muezzin update has been approved now for a while, but wanted to make sure I posted it up here as well.
As always, if you have any issues with Muezzin, take a look at our support page and contact us.

A bug in Muezzin

We’ve just found a critical bug in Muezzin – if you are seeing bad prayer times currently, don’t worry – you aren’t alone! We’re really upset about it, and we’re trying to get a fixed version out to you as soon as possible.

The good news is that we have a fix completed already and we will be submitting it to Apple tonight so you will see the update available soon in the App Store.

This will be our first time trying to get an expedited review – wish us luck. It seems like it has worked for other developers in the past, so I’m hopeful.

thanks for your patience.

Meters: *Actionable* CPU and Memory Stats

We submitted Meters tonight, and I thought I would take the opportunity to talk about the goal of Meters.

First, I love programs that monitor your computer’s resources and load, and I’ve used or played with many of the popular ones: Samurize, Rainmeter, gkrellm, and even the built-ins Task Manager/Resource Manager and the Vista gadget.

Meters puts those stats right on your iPhone and is both an homage and logical extension to these programs:

  1. Meters on your iPhone means more screen space for your applications, and less spent on your monitoring tools.
  2. It also means mobile stats anywhere – check your server or desktop stats while you are out and about.
  3. Finally, Meters is all about *actionable* stats – Too many desktop monitors show you the usage, but don’t have a fast way of showing WHAT is using the CPU or hogging your RAM. Meters always shows you exactly what processes are the most intensive at any point in time.

And that is Meters in a nutshell.
