Thanks for all your patience while G-Whizz! version 1.2 has been in review. For some reason unknown to us, it was in review for almost 3 months and has finally been approved. Here are the changes in this version:
NEW FEATURES:
✔ Full support for multitasking in iOS 4!
✔ Full Retina Display compatibility for iPhone 4!
✔ Facebook and Twitter mobile apps now included!
✔ Read it Later and Tweet This browser actions!
✔ Application badge (see number of unread events from the home screen)!
✔ Now loads all tabs on startup for quicker browsing (with option to disable this if your internet connection can't handle it)!
✔ In-app Settings tab
✔ Tap to reload tabs
FIXES:
✔ Almost all known remaining crash bugs fixed
✔ Better memory usage
✔ Fixed broken docs links
Also, please note that we've become aware of a bug in this version that causes the ratings prompt to appear every time at startup. This is more noticeable on iPad then iPhone (because of the iPhone's multitasking). We've already submitted a fix for this and hope that it will be approved soon. Please don't take this out on us in the ratings! :) Thanks for your continued feedback!
Regards,
Ricky

Rearranging Tab Order
I've been getting a few complaints/request to be able to rearrange tabs or to place certain tabs on the front page. I'd like to clarify that it is possible to rearrange tab order in G-Whizz! This capability has been present since version 1.0 of the app.
Rearranging tab order is actually a standard convention in all iPhone OS TabBar applications (like G-Whizz!) that contain more tabs than can fit on the front screen. Simply click on the "More" tab on the right, then click on the "Edit" button in the upper-right-hand corner of the "More" screen. This will then bring up another screen that displays all available icons on top, and on bottom displays the icons that will be present on the main screen. Simply drag any of the icons from this top group to the position on the bottom row where you would like it to reside. You can also drag icons on the bottom to different positions. When you are done, simply click the "Done" button and your order will be saved. That's all there is to it! See screenshot below for an example of the "Edit" screen.

G-Whizz! and Google Docs
I've been getting many questions about this so I thought I'd share some info. Currently Google Docs can be browsed on the iPad and iPhone, but only Spreadsheets can be edited. I've clarified the G-Whizz! app description to make this clear. I'm sure Google has plans to make these editable at some point, and of course G-Whizz! will be ready for that when the time comes. Thanks for your understanding!
