Diarios de viaje: publicación desde dispositivos móviles

No todos los viajeros tienen interés en mantener un blog. Muchos de ellos simplemente buscan mantener un diario de viaje. La mayor parte de las veces, de manera tradicional, en un cuaderno o bloc de notas. Pero otros hace tiempo que han comenzado a usar sus dispositivos móviles para tomar notas y combinarlas con otros elementos, como fotos y mapas. En esta entrada voy a revisar dos aplicaciones…

  Narrato 2.1 has arrived in the App Store. You can finally import your content from Facebook and App.net!

This update also adds selective web publishing, so you can now pick and choose journals to publish online for others to enjoy. Here's an example of a journal I've published. All of your journals are still private by default, and if you want to make a public one private again, you can.

Since the launch of iOS7, there has been plenty of discussion about App Store pricing. The topic couldn't be more relevant for us, as it's something we've been thinking about for a while.

When we launched Narrato, we made it clear that our users, not advertisers, were our customers.

Today, Narrato is becoming a freemium service, but our original principal still stands. Our users continue to be our customers, and our pricing model incentivises us to focus all of our efforts in making their lives better.

We've been seriously busy updating Narrato, and version 2.0 has just arrived in the App Store for you to enjoy. Here's a summary of what's changed:

iPad Optimized Narrato is now a universal app that's fully optimized for the iPhone/iPod and iPad. If you're already enjoying Narrato on your iPhone, head over to the App Store and check it out on your iPad's larger screen.

The extra space makes it even easier to browse through, organize, and update your journal. Everything syncs across your devices, so you can add entries from your iPhone while out and about, then kick back and browse through them on your iPad once you get home.

Refreshed design - Blur! Blur everything! As expected, we updated Narrato's design to better suit iOS7. We've added blurs and parallax effects, but have also made use of some of the new technology available, like background sync.

We also took the redesign further by focusing the experience around some of our more popular features. Creating and managing multiple journals is now much easier and the compose view has been completely redone.

The interface design will be improved and refined over time, so we'd love to hear your thoughts on the updated workflow in version 2.0.

The perfect app for your iPhone 5S If you were lucky enough to get your hands on an iPhone 5S, we've got a treat for you. Narrato 2.0 is 64-bit compatible, so it's now even faster.

It's also one of the first apps to make use of the M7 chip's motion tracking capabilities. You can now use your iPhone 5S to record your daily step count, so you can add even more context to your journal. Of course, you can continue to use Moves, but you now have the option of using the M7 too.

Share your entries Your journal is completely private, but sometimes, you import or add an entry that you'd like to share with others. You can now just tap and hold an entry, then share it with friends on Twitter or Facebook, or with an AirDrop, email, or message.

Narrato is now freemium! We've always made it clear that we want our customers to be the ones who use Narrato, not advertisers. Although being a service you pay upfront for makes that possible, it's not ideal for a few reasons. We go into the whole story behind going from paid to freemium in a separate article here.

Being a freemium service means that our users are still our customers, but it also means more people can experience the service before committing to it. Here are the new tiers launched today:

Free - Up to 60MB in monthly data usage

Pro ($0.99 per month or $4.99 a year) - Up to 250MB in monthly data usage

Awesome ($4.99 a month or $39.99 a year) - Completely unlimited data usage

All of our current users are automatically upgraded to the Awesome plan for a year, and every new user is automatically on the Pro plan for their first three months.

On all plans, storage is essentially unlimited, but the Free and Pro plans limit the amount you can upload each month. Even on the Free tier, it's fairly difficult to reach the monthly limits. The Pro plan limits are even harder to hit, and it's a bargain at $4.99 a year.

As you can see, this update is absolutely massive and we really hope you love what we've done. Your feedback so far has been amazing, so please continue sharing your thoughts with us.
