2016-02-23
This update provides several improvements and fixes concerning download of in-app purchase sounds, most notably:
• Individual sounds may now be uninstalled at any time on the new "Optional Sounds" overview screen.
• Paused or aborted downloads now resume at their previous download progress position instead of restarting the download from the beginning.
• Resolves download issues regarding unstable (i.e. cellular) Internet connections. The app now automatically handles resuming interrupted downloads without any user intervention required.
• Fixes potential low download transmission rates which could happen under certain circumstances.
• Fixes possible data corruption of downloaded sounds which previously could happen under certain circumstances.
• Resolves issues caused by low disk (SSD) space: User is now informed right at the beginning of the download in case there is not enough disk space available to download the respective sound. Previously the download aborted somewhere during the download process in such cases. Now once the download started without such an error message, it is guaranteed that the download will complete without causing a disk space related abort.
• Prevention of unintentional or accidental user abort of downloads: user is now always asked whether he really wants to abort the respective download.
• Improvement of download progress bar: an additional, animated green arrow symbolizes incoming data packets in real-time, which now makes it easy to recognise whether a download is still active or whether there are sometimes interruptions concerning the download data stream.
• Improved status text of downloads.
• Fixes undesired automatic start of downloads.
