 Many of you over the past few months have requested widgets. Widgets is a direction we have always wanted to go. (Just take a look at the screens Tony Stark looks at). Cyman Mark 3 (Cyman on Chrome) will come with web widgets too when it is released.
To that end, in Cyman version 2.4+ we released not 1, not 2, but 3 new widgets to summarise bits of information Cyman has been keeping for you:
There will be many more widgets to come, not to mention improvements on these existing ones. Other improvements include: - Cyman wakes you up with the same volume as your alarm volume setting on your device. So there is no problem putting your phone on silent before bed. - Cyman can help you plan your journeys. Simply tell Cyman "journey to London Bridge by car", or ask "how long is it to Sheffield by public transport" for example, and he will let you know how long your journey might take. You have been very good in sending your bugs and suggestions to our email address or through our contact us page. Keep this up, and we will ensure you have a better product!

  We have been busy... so busy that it has not been easy to improve Cyman's features as fast as we would have liked. But we finally managed to include a couple of features that the majority of users have asked for, but the bad news is that going forward, we are unable to support Android v2.1. We really want to take Cyman places, and we need later editions of Android to do so - update your Android device!
- An omnipresent Cyman icon in the notification bar. From any application, you can tap the notification icon to speak to Cyman directly. - Cyman can read your incoming texts If you turn on "read text" mode from your Cyman menu, Cyman will read your texts as they arrive. A feature to reply straightaway will come soon. - Cyman can tweet on your behalf To allow Cyman access to tweet for you, give him the command "authorise my twitter" and follow the steps on the resulting web page. Eventually you will be given a pin code which you need to type and send back to Cyman. After thatyou can tweet away like the screenshot on the left! - The UI has had some minor changes We have also included the ability to control whether you hear Cyman's battery alerts or not (for those of you who have discovered that he does this!) We are still working on that "other platform", and this release has a hidden feature to facilitate that... watch this space! Thank you for supporting Cyman System! Please do drop a nice review on Google Play, and leave us feedback on our contact page to keep improving! We hope you have been noticing the continual improvements of Cyman in the background, as well as the official upgrades. Your feedback through our website is very valuable to us, and we try as best as possible to address them in our releases.
One such example, is a throwaway comment by a fan on our Google+ page hoping we would make the vibration alert during reminders optional. This feature has made its way into version 1.7, along with the ability to...
At this point we should probably explain something. With Cyman, you can either set reminders for yourself, or reminders for Cyman (called scheduled commands/tasks). For instance, "Remind me to do the washing up at 9pm" will set a reminder for yourself. At 9pm, Cyman will notify you and you can postpone it or mark it completed. However if you said "Remember to get the tube status on the Northern line at 9pm", then one of two things can happen: 1. If auto run mode is off, Cyman will notify you that it has a scheduled task to perform, which you can choose to execute or postpone. 2. If auto run mode is on, Cyman will go ahead and execute the command at 9pm without further prompting. We have many more exciting ideas to implement, but please bear with us! Do spread the word about the Cyman Mark 2 app, and rate us on Google Play! We very much appreciate your support! |
