Update 7/16: I’m able to receive emails again… finally. Gosh, my web server configuration was so messed up!

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I’m in the middle of a move from my home in Germany to my new home in sunny California, United States. Nonetheless I’ve worked on great new updates for both Puzzle Blox and Perfect World Clock which I will roll out the next days and weeks. Afterwards I’ll pick up work on Perfect Task Switcher again – thanks for all your support the last months!

I’ll keep you posted so stay tuned!

Update: Version 1.1.1 has been released. This one fixed some crash issues during downloading and initializing list of cities. Sorry for these issues!

BETA-4

• Added more preferences:
  • Close button for quickly killing tasks (as alternative to the long-press & fling gesture)
  • Launch task switcher instead of preferences screen when app icon is tapped
  • Disable hints
• Fixed tons of bugs and force close issues reported for Beta-3

Hope you enjoy the new release!

KNOWN ISSUES

• Preview graphics are of poor quality. This is a limitation by the Android OS itself. Improved previews for rooted phones and tablets is underway…
• Gingerbread and some CyanogenMod versions do not show previews. This will be fixed for rooted phones soon.
• Perfect Task Switcher does not support Honeycomb.
• Not all key shortcuts (like long-press home) can be supported by this app. This is a limitation of Android and cannot be circumvented.

Beautiful and intuitive task switcher application which improves the way you use your Android phone. Quickly switch between last used tasks with previews graphics, smooth animations and an easy yet intuitive user interface.

Simply perfect…

FEATURES

• Quick and easy task switcher
• Elegant design in Froyo and Gingerbread style

• Preview of running tasks
• Quickly stop (kill) foreground tasks to free up phone memory and save battery lifetime

• Press your HOME key a second time to switch to your default launcher (with support for LauncherPro, ADW, and others)

REMARKS
Task preview graphics are not supported on all Android devices. Quality of the preview graphics is very limited and depends on the manufacturer. As this is a BETA release we’ve enabled Google Analytics to track your devices capabilities. This anonymous reporting can be disabled anytime through the application’s preferences screen.

We’re working on improving device compatibility and adding high-res previews for rooted devices in one of the next releases. Stay tuned!
