Review of GlobeConvert from iPhone Blog by Simon

"If you need a conversion app, this is the best convertor app available for the iPhone. Not to mention, it is free! If you need a convertor app, please try this one first before you think about buying some of the other ones that are out there. This app truly does convert everything you could possibly want. It has a wonderful GUI that is easy to use and the favorite button is a great-added feature, allowing quick access to your more frequently-used conversions."

Wrote Simon at his blog. Thank you!

Review of GlobeConvert from Apple Gazette: A+

"Just how many seconds are in a year? The answer is 31557600 seconds/year. How many of them have been wasted playing with exceedingly easy, brilliant and intuitive Apps on the iPhone? Quite a lot actually, but the time wasted playing is outweighed by the time saved converting things with 'GlobeConvert'."

Thinks RJ_Huneke thanks from Apple Gazette. We're happy to know you really think so!

Now Apple says GlobeConvert is Noteworthy and we do not dare to object!

We are very happy and proud to spread the news about Apple promoting one of our apps again. Starting on Jan 11 GlobeConvert is listed by Apple in "New and Noteworthy" section of the App Store's main page.

Inspired by so much attention we promise to add some improvements to the currency converter that will come out within GlobeMaster's 2.0. Godspeed!

Review of GlobeMaster from Orbitz blog

"I think this is an invaluable pocket source for anyone heading to a foreign city. Ditch that bulky travel guide and take this with you instead."

Wrote Ari Bendersky about our app in his 'Top 10 iPhone apps to make travel easier' blog post in Orbitz blog. Thank you very much for your kind words Ari!

Review of GlobeMaster from AppReview

"A useful information tool for everyone from the first time traveler to the experienced live out of your suitcase traveler."

Says staff of AppReview. Thanks!

Apple says GlobeMaster is HOT so we go 2.0!

We are very happy and proud to spread the news that starting on Dec 22 GlobeMaster is listed by Apple in "What's Hot" section of the App Store's main page.

On the occasion we have also decided to make an announcement of the next major release being developed at the moment. 2.0 version of GlobeMaster converts the app to a travel toolbox (9 apps in 1), introduces new design and a lot of new features additions both within new sub apps and the ones the app had built in previously. This update will be free.

Another thing we feel we must admit is that there is some kind of travel DB corruption in GlobeMaster's version 1.2 currently available for download that causes app to crash when user browses to cities category of one of the countries (Egypt). We're terribly sorry for this and ask our users to be patient and wait for the next release, which is going to be huge. And which of course will fix this bug (actually it is already fixed in the development version).

We thank our users for feedback and promise to do our best to deliver 2.0 ASAP.
