still possible. I use MC daily for dental school. I have made over
1500 flashcards and anxiously look forward to the added
functionality of 2.0 to make studying these quicker and easier. I
have a MB with Lion. Thanks!</p></div>Justicetag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/93981122011-10-19T19:43:44Z2011-10-19T19:43:44ZMental Case 2.0<div><p>Honestly, I'm a little bit puzzled now; now that I've come
across this thread.</p>
<p>You're making MC 2.0 a Lion only release. Ok, that's your
decision and more often than not it's really good to start anew.
For me that means: for the next few (or more) months I'll be barred
from MC 2.0, since I'm running Snow Leopard. Nevertheless, I hope
you'll stick to your promise of your newsletter of Jan 11: Buy MC
at the App Store (even if you've already bought it), because the
update to 2.0 will be free of charge. Now with the Lion thingy,
when you're releasing MC 2.0 I am not able to upgrade immediately.
Hope the free upgrade will be valid for MC 2.x too...</p>
<p>Second, you're talking about iCloud syncing. I am certainly not
in favor of having all my data online (call me backwards if you
like to...) but I definitely see the advantages. Nevertheless: does
the iCloud syncing mean that that's going to be the <em>only</em>
way to sync? Will there still be the WLAN way? Will it be
incremental or does this need the iCloud? My MC database has
several Gigabites; certainly don't want this data block clutter up
my (hypothetical) iCloud account...</p></div>Tobiastag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/93981122011-10-20T16:01:00Z2011-10-20T16:01:00ZMental Case 2.0<div><p>Hey!</p>
<p>I would like to help by testing the beta, if there still is need
for that. I used Cram for my last exam and it worked pretty well
but there doesn’t seem to be much development going on
anymore...</p>
<p>Especially features like iCloud integration and Fullscreen mode
make Mental Case 2 quite interesting. Also I’d like to see
support for creating multiple choice tests (like Cram).</p>
<p>I’m using a MacBook Air (late 2010) with Lion.</p></div>Christiantag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/93981122011-10-20T16:42:18Z2011-10-20T16:42:18ZMental Case 2.0<div><p>Hi Christian (and others),<br>
We are winding up beta testing, so won't add to the list.<br>
We plan to submit the final app to Apple in a few days. Should be
in the app store in a few weeks.<br>
Kind regards,<br>

<p>Free upgrade to MC 2.0 applies for anyone who purchases via the
Mac App Store, whenever you decide to upgrade. Staying on version
1.9 for a few months is no problem.</p>
<p>We are not sure whether we will support WLAN syncing. It brings
a lot of problems with it, and iCloud is much better, and easier
from our perspective (which means it is probably also more stable).
Syncing several gigs over WLAN is not possible now anyway, at least
the way we have set up syncing in 1.9, and we are not keen to have
to rewrite all of that to support incremental syncing in addition
to iCloud.</p>
<p>So if WLAN syncing does remain, I'm afraid it will not be any
better than what we currently support. We don't want to plough a
lot of resources into that when iCloud is a much better solution
(IMHO).</p>

<p>syncing several Gigs via WLAN <em>does</em> work, even though
you know that I've been having problems every now and then, so any
update for "incremental" sync would be highly appreciated.</p>
<p>However, I do see your point and that you're very enthusiastic
about iCloud (incremental) sync. But <em>please</em>, keep the WLAN
sync in there in the new version, even if it's not updated, and let
the user decide if he or she wants to use iCloud. Your MentalCase
is one of the most "influential" apps that I have on my Mac+iPhone,
and it would be such a pity to be constrained to a service that I
don't necessarily want to support. (Hey, I love Apple and I guess
iCloud will be huge, but is really nobody worried about having all
different sort of one's data on Apple's servers?)</p></div>Tobiastag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/93981122011-10-20T21:12:00Z2011-10-20T21:12:00ZMental Case 2.0<div><p>Am 20.10.2011 um 23:09 schrieb "Tobias" <a href=

trust them more than say, google, who likely sifts it looking for
advertising opportunities.</p>
<p>In any case, I see your point, but I think most people want
cloud syncing, and have been asking us for it for a long time.</p>
<p>We'll try to keep a wifi syncing option, but it will likely be
less capable than the cloud option.</p>
<p>The move to the cloud is a big one. We are basically going to an
'all-devices-equal' model, where the wifi sync is the old 'digital
hub' with Mac central.</p>

I'm afraid we won't be releasing any more beta releases. We are in
the last few days of development, and are about to submit to Apple.
So hopefully you can get the final release in a few weeks time.<br>
Sorry, and thanks for offering.<br>
Kind regards,<br>
