We’ve gotten a lot of requests for something “celtic” … and since it’s St. Patty’s Day we thought some of you might like an update on that!
Celtic Elements
A little darker than our usual scenes, this takes place near an Irish river bank during a Druid ritual. Chanting swells in and out while bagpipes and flutes play in the distance, wind chimes and thunder signal the coming rain.
If you follow Lightning Bug, you know we constantly ask for feedback and ideas on what you want us to improve. And in case you don’t know yet, we’ve set up a feedback voting site here at uservoice.com. So check it out! You guys have already given us so many great ideas for new features and content and we can’t thank you enough. In fact, we’re hard at work on Lightning Bug 2.7 which will contain a lot of the long-overdue features you’ve been asking for!
Since the release of Android 2.2 we’ve been getting lot’s of requests to allow Lightning Bug to be installed to your device’s SD card. Unfortunately we had a slight technical issue that was preventing this. But the good news is that we got our issue fixed and Lightning Bug now supports SD card installation!
Our latest addition, Rustic Pack, contains 15 sound loops, 5 new scenes, and is totally free! Our Country Pack, contains 21 much-requested sound loops, 8 new scenes, and is available in the Android Market.
Lightning Bug 2.4 addresses two requests we’ve been getting more and more email about!
First, if you’re a Froyo user, you can now disable your phones button lights while Lightning Bug is running. Some of you have phone’s that already do this, but for those of you that don’t you can finally get things nice and dark! Unfortunately we can only provide this to Froyo users for now, but we’ll continue to look into ways to provide this feature for older Androids.
Lightning Bug version 2.3, available now in the Android Market, is another release all about the fans! We went through hundreds of your emails and comments in the Android Market, came up with a list of the most requested features, and got cracking on the 2.3 build. We get tons of requests for new scenes and sounds also, so don’t worry. For those of you enjoying our new plugin feature, we’ll be releasing new plugin packs very soon!
After our 1.0.14 release, some of you reported an “Activity Not Found” error when trying to launch Lightning Bug. Our best guess is that you had the app installed previous to our 1.0.14 release and had created a Lightning Bug launch shortcut on your device’s desktop.
Lightning Bug version 1.0.14 is now available in the Android market. By request, we improved the rain loop and released it in the last version.
Lightning Bug version 1.0.13 is now available in the Android market. For those of you that have followed us you know how serious we take feedback from our users! To that end, we have some additional enhancements and new features for you by request in our most recent version.
In releases previous to 1.0.9 the Lightning Bug alarm didn’t function when Lightning Bug was closed or not running; a source of much confusion and quite a few feature requests. So, for the 1.0.9 release, Lightning Bug’s alarm and snooze functions were re-coded with the goal that the alarm would continue to function outside of the main Lightning Bug application. That is, so that the alarm still goes off even when Lightning Bug isn’t running.*
