V2.91 is a bug fix release of Paperless List. I made some plumbing changes in V2.9 that introduced some bugs, especially on older Android version like 2.3.
Paperless List V2.9 is now out in the Google Play Store. I added a new feature to display nutritional info:
Just long press on an item in the list, search results or favourites and select the “Nutritional info” option. Values for energy per item and per 100g are shown. The real value in the feature is the traffic light system. Based on FSA guidelines this is a simple way to show if a product has low (green), medium (amber) or high (red) levels of fat, saturates, sugar and salt. Unfortunately, Tesco doesn’t have nutritional info on every product but hopefully they’ll add more in future. I also fixed a bug with scanning items on the list screen. It wasn’t adding them immediately because you had to navigate back out of the list and go back in to see the scanned item.
Paperless List V2.8 is out on the Google Play Store. Just a quick release to use the new Tesco API.
I have just released Paperless List V2.7 to the Google Play Store. Only the free version has been updated because soon I will be removing the Pro version. By the end of the week it will be gone. All my apps from now on will be free and also ad free. That is unless I need to pay for hosting a web service or something. Here is the change log for V2.7:
Paperless List V2.6 is out. I managed to add more features but also optimise the app to use less memory:

SMS Bot Widget V2.51 is now in the Google Play Store. Here is the change log:
I finally got my hands on a Nexus 5 today and its great. Unfortunately there is a small issue with SMS Bot Widget and Android 4.4. A few days ago Google announced a few changes to the way SMS messages are handled in Android. As a result of these changes SMS Bot Widget can no longer write to a device’s sent messages as of Android 4.4. The messages are still sent so the app fulfills its primary purpose but the device will have no record of it. In order to completely fix this SMS Bot Widget would have to be set as the primary SMS messaging app on the system and that is a lot to ask of a simple widget app. Instead I will update the app to warn Android 4.4 users of this behaviour.
A quick update following yesterday’s release of V2.4. It turns out I accidentally made the app only compatible with Android 4.3! It was showing “not compatible” errors in the web Google Play Store for anything running earlier Android versions. This was because of a new “uses-feature” element I added to the app manifest to notify the Play Store that SMS Bot Widget required home screen widgets. Unfortunately I set the required attribute to “true” and because the feature was new in Android 4.3, previous versions didn’t know about it. Hence the “not compatible” errors. Of course when I tested my app’s availability yesterday on Google Play on my Nexus 4 newly updated to 4.3 it all seemed fine. The perils of being on the bleeding edge!
SMS Bot Widget version 2.4 is now available in the Google Play Store. Here is the change log:
