Windows 8 updates rolling out for Fantweestic! and OneNote

Likewise as a number of Windows Phone app updates, new releases take also been hitting the Windows viii Store, which include both Fantweestic! and the official OneNote app. Then what's new in the new versions for both Windows apps?

Commencement we'll tackle OneNote for Windows viii, which appears to be a minor update adding a handful of languages. That's all the release notes detail so we tin't vouch for anything else beingness included in the latest version. Should you locate an improvement of feature we've overlooked, be sure to inform the gang in the comments.

Moving onto Fantweestic!, the highly rated Twitter customer for Windows 8. The app was recently made free, which was to encourage consumers to get in touch with developers and provide constructed feedback. And then long every bit feedback and reviews / ratings continued to menses, developer Liquid Daffodil would maintain the 'free' tag.

Unfortunately, the app is back up to its original $10.99 price tag. We reached out to the developer for clarification, but the amount of feedback didn't pave way for the free period to go on across 24 hours. The flip-side is the cost refresh comes with an update.

So what's new to merit the price increase?

Added expandable Spider web Viewer toggle!
Added ability to prove "My Mentions" in Quick Columns!
Added more and refresh functionality to Search!
More coolness and fixes!

Consumers who aren't reading our coverage on the app, who then believe it'due south free to begin with, are more likely to throw up 1-star reviews and not take the time to contact the developer for suggestions and problems reporting than ane who has made an investment. This is an issue Liquid Daffodil wanted to avoid but evidently couldn't.

We take been informed they'd love for it to remain free again should consumer participation remain loftier though. They are extremely receptive to add themes into the app, so if you practice accept suggestions, be sure to make it contact with the team!

Here's what the programmer had to say on the free menstruation for those who did actively participate:

"We got bang-up support and participation from fans out there and we've had phenomenal chatter about fantweestic! on Twitter, etc. We were inundated with a slew of smashing Theme requests, had a number of great emails from fans asking for features and making comments. It was exactly what we'd hoped for. I don't have the updated numbers but information technology looks like high hundreds (peradventure thousands) of folks took advantage of this scenario and got a swell app for free, which is the win/win."

You can download both Fantweestic! (support to $ten.99) and the OneNote app from the Windows viii Store.
