Info, news and pictures about PinkMap!

After Apple made some negative headlines the last week by not letting gay apps to the AppStore, they are going forward.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Apple made bad headlines by not letting gay iPhone apps to their AppStore (look here). Not Apple is getting bad publicity again.

This time not because they don’t let gay iPhone apps to the AppStore, but because of letting homophobic iPhone apps straight to it. The lately approved iPhone app based on the “Manhattan Declaration“, which was created by catholic and evangelic christs and which found over a half million supporter in the last  year.

After the problems with the last update, we convinced Apple for faster reviewing our App, so the new PinkMap release takes only 3 days für approval.

We want to say sorry  and as an excuse we have activated the “Direct Image Exchange” function in the chat for the next week for everyone!

New features (now for everyone)

• a better and faster Chat
• better and easier Overviews with “fast refresh”
• iOS 4 support

Here you find the Download…

We hope you enjoy!

After a apple employee forgot his iPhone 4 Testversion a month ago in a bar, the design of the new iPhone wasn’t a secret any more. Now Steve Jobs introduced the new iPhone officially.

In comparison with the iPhone 3G the new iPhone, just called iPhone 4, is much more squared, but with just 9,3 millimeters the worlds thinnest Smartphone ( according to Steve Jobs). At the side the new iPhone is furnished with metal and also the buttons are out of metal now.

But the propably biggest changings happend to the display. The display of the new iPhone 4 is a so called Retina- Display and has now 326 Pixel per Inch. Also the contrast ratio is 800:1, four times more than the iPhone 3GS contrast ratio.

Beside this the new iPhone comes with a new 5 Megapixel cam, a new light sensor and the possibility to record videos in HD. On the front of the new iPhone 4 there is another camera, which can be used for “iPhone 4 User to iPhone 4 User” videoconversation via wlan. We can’t wait for the release at the 24th of June.

Finally the new PinkMap 2.5 Version arrived at the AppStore, and some of you might have seen the new killerfeature:  the new ” Location Check in Function”. You are now able to check in into locations with just one click via iPhone, and show everybody : Here i am!

If your profile is connected to Facebook, of course this message will appear on your Facebook Profile, too.

In the map you can see if you are able to check in into a location or not.If you can check in, the Lcoation is marked with a red number (Badge). There will be shown every Location in your area with a radius of  1,242 Miles, and in every location which is closer than 100 meters you will be able to check in directly…

If there is another PinkMap User which checked in into your Location, you will get a push notification, so you can turn arround and wave to him if you like to. If you click at a Location, you can see in the Feed who checked in in the past and with the “Info” Button you can see who is checked in at the moment….

You are able to download the new PinkMap 2.5 Version here, and please do not forget to rate us. Thank you for supporting Gay Rights!

If something cool or funny happened to you with the new Location Check in Function, please feel free to write us. We will publish the best Storys and reward them with a small gift.

After we over-worked and gave it to the AppStore again the new PinkMap Version is now available at the AppStore.

There are a couple of new Features in the new Version and we think you will like it. Beside the common improvements like the mending of Bugs and the improved performance you now have the option to exchange images in the chat. So you have the chance to change images with friends or your date without other people seeing your private pictures.

Beside the direct image exchange here are some other features:

• User & Location search: You can now search for users & locations by their names and other information

• New and faster Chat

• New look: The walls where the users’ activity is presented have now more features (clickable links, simple reload) and are faster

• Added user status icons

• Added in app purchase: You can buy premium membership to support PinkMap! development. As premium member you won’t see any ads and have a crown in you profile picture to show others that you are supporting PinkMap

• General bugfixes: The app should now run more stable and generally faster

At this place we need your help again: Please  write us your opinion about the new search function, the new version of PinkMap in general, your ideas and, of course, what you think could be improved at PinkMap!

There are some news again at PinkMap. We would like to introduce you into the faster and better PinkMap.

As some of you might have seen, PinkMap became faster. We had a little Braimstorming and gave PinkMap a proper energy boost. Both, iPhone- Version and Webversion are smarter and faster now. No more Waiting, no second click. Within a few seconds your, or your dates profile, will be loaded on your screen.

We can’t wait for your comments and hope you like! Try it!

Hey there PinkMap fans!  We are very happy to report today that our new App, version 1.4.1, is now available for download at the iTunes App Store.  We were given the green light from Apple in only 6 days. A new record!  This only leads us to believe that we might have a fan or two over there at Apple… we hope so! If so or not, time will tell, however, the new app is totally worth the download.

All bugs should now be fixed and causes that resulted in crashes have been addressed, especially those that were affecting messaging.
