Our account rep at Apple said our update was STILL in review today.  Ug. We were hopeful when we heard that Apple was approving updates in as little as thirty hours.  Of course we use a private api so I guess we can’t complain much.  We are hoping that it will be available tomorrow – keep your fingers crossed.  The new version of ShopSavvy includes:

• Get Directions Update – now you can get turn-by-turn directions (in map view) inside of ShopSavvy without leaving to to the Maps application (of course you can still open the Maps.app if you really want to). This is pretty huge – not sure of any other apps doing this (if you know of one let me know ASAP so I can call Jake’s bluff).
• Augmented Reality Feature – we call it ‘Radar’ inside of ShopSavvy.  Now you can view products in list view, map view or RADAR view.  Try it out, it is lots of fun.
• Web Browsing Feature – this new feature allows you to browse retailers websites inside of the app without leaving (i.e. you don’t have to open MobileSafari each time) making browsing faster.
• Email Feature – this new feature allows you to email products to yourself (or friends) without leaving the app and launching the Mail.app – again making the experience faster.

The thesis of this update (besides fixing our bugs and making scanning work better) is to keep users inside of the app as much as possible creating a seamless shopping experience.  Let us know what you think.
