What's new in iTools v1.1

iTools v1.0 is available for download today, it's a great news, and a greater news is we've finished the development of iTools v1.1 and is in review by the QA of our company, we planned to submit v1.1 to Apple tomorrow.


So, what's new in v1.1?




1. a better user interface.


We changed to a new theme which appears more elegant, you guys would love it.





2. with 2 new apps


Yes, in v1.1 there's 5 apps now, the 2 new apps are night clock and gradienter, as you see the snapshot beneath. How you feel about the interface? love it?

gradienter:





What's new in iTools v1.2? well I'm gonna tell you we will add 2 more apps there. Actually every update in v1.x there will be 2 new apps, and we will update every month at least. So you are gonna get a number of apps very soon, and all these cost only $0.99, or for free with ads integration.




Tell us what apps you want, and see if we can make it future updates.


We will definitely beat AppBox, who only provides ugly and trash little apps.
