¡Arriba! ¡Arriba!

After months of terrible rain, our British weather seems to be on the mend and we are getting some very pleasant days. Who said it constantly rains in England ?

We have reached another milestone in the Sleep Angel development.  Thanks to some great work from the lovely Francesca, I have now introduced a new SleepAngel version that includes Spanish.
I have also added the feature that was often asked for in your feedback : the possibility of adding forgotten diaries.

We now support 5 languages : English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. That allows a lot of people on our planet to be able to fill their sleep diaries in a language they are comfortable with.

I am still working on some additional features, more on it later.

'til next time and in the meanwhile, may you have a great night sleep.

It looks like . . .

. . . the U.K. is having the wettest winter in 250 years (even my fellow French on the west coast are soaked).
Many of our villages have the Venice look (well, minus the Italian charm) but hopefully the wonderful British humor manages to keep us all afloat and the community spirit is fabulous.
Just why do people wait for a disaster before being nice to each other ?? That's another story, I guess.

Sorry, I haven't been writing for a while,  I am buried (almost) in work.

I am still making my way through the feedback I received (thank you guys, I love you) and I am currently implementing the possibility of adding forgotten diaries. Version 1.3 should be in the store in a couple of weeks.

I am also working on customizing the app for hospital or clinic sleep centers so they can work with their patients data directly. I am looking for some pilot centers, so if that would be of any interest to you (you will need a computer center to treat the data, but that's easy-peasy), don't hesitate dropping me a line.

Last but not least, good news if you live in Spain, in Mexico, in some of the fabulous countries of South America or if you are an expat like me, the Spanish translation is being started as we speak, so you soon will be able to manage your sleep in your own language !

There are a lot of new comers so if you just popped in, are a sleep doctor and would like to try SleepAngel, let yourself be known and I'll get you a free promo code.
That also goes for the ones whose code expired, even for the 2nd time  ; -) Yes I know, we are all too busy . . . 

'til next time and in the meanwhile, may you have a great night sleep.

Ciao a tutti . . .

This week has been a good one.

Firstly the bad weather kind of receded where we are and we had a couple of very sunny days. The Met Office announced we should brace for Siberian temperatures next week though, but hey, let's just enjoy what we have now.

Last but not least the version 1.2 of SleepAngel was accepted by Apple tonight. I am used to submit Apps and updates, but still when I receive this email saying "Your app status is : Processing for App Store" it's a moment of relief, last small proof I wasn't up to too much nonsense  ; -)   I don't think I will ever change, it's like stage freight, it's a kind of healthy positive feeling, showing you are well alive.

Excepted correcting small bugs and applying some cosmetic surgery here and there, the major change is that we now support Italian.

No time to breathe, a charming lady from a Spanish Sleep Center kindly offered to translate into her language and I got similar offers from Poland and Finland. Looks like the next months are going to be pretty busy. Don't get the impression I am complaining, I am bordering to being workaholic.

'til next time and in the meanwhile, may you have a great night sleep.

And here we are in 2014 . . .

Firstly let me wish you all a very prosperous New Year, full of happiness and success.

May be you saw on the news that United Kingdom is currently battered from severe gales and torrential rain. Thankfully, we are not too much flooded in our area and life goes on, but we are seriously longing for spring.

I would like to thank many of you for the very constructive feedback you sent about SleepAngel. I won't tell names but you certainly will recognize yourself, so a massive thank you to you. It helped me correcting some minor bugs and I started implementing some of your requests, with more to come in the next month.

If your mother tongue is Italian, be happy as we are now supporting this language. The updated version should be in the App Store in a couple of days.

Some of you also emailed about their promo codes having expired before getting a chance to use them.  If it is your case,  don't worry, I know we are all so busy and with the Christmas Holidays in between, it wasn't ideal. Just contact me again and I will provide another one, no trouble.

'til next time and in the meanwhile, may you have a great night sleep.
