BattleScribe 1.13.16 Released on iOS!

This version has some nice extra additions, bringing iOS up to date with the features on Android and desktop. One addition is the ability to customize the output when viewing and sharing a roster (allowing you to cut out the points values, rules and profiles), giving you the option to remove things before sharing your list online.

Sharing overall has been improved, and now you can share via services other than just email (Twitter and Facebook are notable examples). This is especially useful if you're using Dropbox to sync your data as you are now able to share a link to a roster file stored in Dropbox. This link can be easily be posted to social networks or forum posts and BattleScribe users just have to click it to open your roster.

Release Notes:

• Added options to customize the output when viewing a roster. For example, remove points, profiles and rules to make the output "legal" to post on a forum.
• Share or copy a link to a roster file stored in Dropbox. This is great for sharing your roster via Twitter, Facebook, on forum posts etc.
• Improved sharing of rosters (as text or Dropbox link) - you can now share straight to Facebook and Twitter.
• Speed improvements when preparing data.
• Added ability to delete all rosters from the menu in Manage Data (for emergencies!).
• Improvements to handling of file synchronization with Dropbox.
• Removed first loading screen. Again...

BattleScribe Installer For Mac Released!

For those of you with iMacs and Macbooks, there is now the option to download BattleScribe as a proper installer for OSX. This makes it much easier to install BattleScribe on your Mac, and gives you a more OSX-like user interface.

Installing BattleScribe this way allows you to easily launch it from the Dock or the Applications folder (with proper icons!), skins the UI with a better theme for OSX and integrates BattleScribe with standard OSX features like the application menu bar.

Hopefully this will make it much nicer for Mac users to install and use BattleScribe in a way that's more familiar to them.

BattleScribe 1.13.16 Released on Android!

There's a few nice bits and pieces added in this version, bringing the Android up to the same level of features that the desktop version has. Notably, this means the addition of options to customize the output when viewing your roster (I've been meaning to add this for ages...).

Also, for Dropbox users, you can now share or copy a link to a roster file stored in Dropbox. This makes sharing your roster via social networks, forum posts etc. a whole lot easier as you don't need to upload the roster file anywhere yourself - people can just click the link and open your roster file straight from Dropbox :)

Release Notes:

• Added options to customize the output when viewing a roster. For example, remove points, profiles and rules to make the output "legal" to post on a forum.
• Share or copy a link to a roster file stored in Dropbox. This is great for sharing your roster via Twitter, Facebook, on forum posts etc.
• Speed improvements when preparing data.
• Added ability to delete all rosters from the menu in Manage Data (for emergencies!).
• Improvements to data import. Imported rosters will be renamed if required (instead of replacing an existing roster).
• Improvements to handling of file synchronization with Dropbox.
• Removed first loading screen. Again...
