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...

• Share Cyman with your friends by SMS, Facebook, Google+, Email and lots more
• Copy text from any of the text boxes by long pressing it
• Auto run mode for the scheduled commands.

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!

It has been a while, we realise that.  We have been very busy with other pursuits, Cyman Mark 2 bug fixes and... Cyman's future! (Which is exciting let me tell you).

For now, the present.  You can "send a text to ..." your contacts as well as calling.  This has been a frequently requested feature.  Aside from those features, many bugs have been fixed (and are being fixed continually in the background).  An annoyance that is being removed for this version, is the fact that Cyman would vibrate and inform you of a reminder  when scheduled - whilst you are on a phone call. 

We did not give an official announcement when Cyman 1.5 was released, but there were exciting features released there too! Including:

• Scheduling tasks for Cyman e.g. "Remember to get the next train from London Bridge to Greenwich at 4:45pm"
  
• Open websites e.g. "Open website facebook.com"
• Further bug fixes

If you need help with commands, press the menu button on the app and choose the "Examples" option.  Otherwise don't hesitate to contact us through this website!

Many of you have been asking for a settings menu, or at least a commands guide.  We are pleased to announce that we have made another quick release honouring your request.  

Tap your menu button to see your options, then tap "Examples" to see a list of Cyman's capabilities by category.  Tap on a category to reveal commands, and select one to see the template appear in your text box.  You can edit the command if you wish, but you are an 'Enter' key away from giving Cyman your command. 

There are many other improvements we have made conversation wise, check out the release notes on http://market.android.com/details?id=com.cyman.android

PS - Originally, we released version 1.4 which contained a few bugs.  These have now been addressed

We have just released version 1.3 of the Cyman Mark 2 Alpha on the Android market (rather soon after the last release!).  With this, those of you on Android 2.2 should be able to download Cyman now.  You are our testers - so do provide feedback on how well it is working on different versions and devices!

Thanks to those of you who asked about presenting the temperature in fahrenheit - if you ask Cyman for the weather 'in celsius' or 'in fahrenheit' once, he will remember to always give you the temperature in those units.

Check the Android market for the release notes for Cyman Mark 2 Alpha v 1.3!

We have been listening to your feedback and correcting things over the last week where we have had almost 200 total installs.  Chief of these was Cyman's handling of timezones when telling you the time, setting your alarm, or setting reminders.

Here are the release notes for Cyman Mark 2 (Alpha) v1.2:
v 1.2

Send a text message by saying "text message"Some understanding improvements

First of all, we would like to thank you for your patience with Cyman in it's Alpha infancy.  Know that we are constantly improving Cyman behind the scenes as we listen to your feedback.  Certain things you have tried before that did not work could be working (especially if you sent us feedback).  Whilst we may not answer each and every message, we do take each and every message into account.  We are working as fast as we can - and we are but two people!

You may have seen that we have a twitter account.  Do follow us there to get tips on things to say to Cyman as we fill you in. We are also improving Cyman to answer your queries.

There are some known bugs we are working on for coming updates:
1/ Accounting for timezones when setting alarm
2/ Other alarm bugs (will be fixed in the next release)
3/ The need to reboot your device to retain reminders (fixed in the next release)
4/ Some experiencing sound problems (we urge you to check your Android settings under 'Language and Input' to see if you have text-to-speech features set up)

Thank you for your support!

So, Cyman Mark 2 (Alpha) is released on the Android Market.  Do take a look at our other pages to get an understanding for what we are aiming for.  Note that the intelligence of Cyman will keep improving over time.  There are features yet to be perfected which, over time, will be corrected. You can help by sending us feedback (please include your phone model and OS version).

In the meantime, we would like to demonstrate how the Cyman Mark 2 will work - with a glimpse of how it can interact with the Mark 1 (the desktop version) which is still in development.

Mind you, we have not been able to find it in the Android Market yet.  Once it gets published we will let you know! The app will do well if you provide feedback, there is a lot more we wanted to do, but we will provide updates as we go along.
