Release of Version 2.0 - 11/24/2010
The new version of Webview is now available on the android market. I got lots of feedback from users and their comments and I made a few adjustments to the app. I hope everyone likes them. Thank you for the constant feedback and comments. Each weather it was a negative or positive feedback helped me think of ways to improve.
The follow are features that were added in this release.
1. Added a Menu and is accessible via the "menu" key on your android phone.
2. Menu button, "Quit" allows you to close the app no matter what screen you are on. No more hitting the back button 100 times to get out of the application. yay! and sorry about that annoyance.. LOL
3. Menu button "Change Orientation" this feature allows you to change the view from portrait to landscape view and vise versa. This might even fix some of the issues for phones that have slide out keyboard. I don't have one of those type of phones.. so please let me know if this helps you at all.
4. The long waited on feature "ZOOM" ya! you can now zoom by pinching the screen .. or zoom out by spreading your fingers. You all know how it works.. Now the font size won't be such a horrible issue as you can adjust the view to your liking.
Hope you all like the update!
New features to come
Jen, my lovely G/F and future wife and hopefully bearer of my offspring.. ( TMI I know ) asked for a feature to allow scanning of bar-codes and then have it automatically open the points calculator. Enter in the info and show the point value for an Item. I am working really hard to get that feature, so hopefully I'll get that done before the year has ended. So keep an eye out for an update. ;)
Below you will find the status of any known issues.
11/29/2010 - UPDATE FAILURE.
If you are getting the message.
"Server Error in '/' Application."
__________________________
Runtime Error
You must uninstall the app 100% completely. And then re download and install it from the market. Doing an upgrade will not fix the issue. It must be uninstalled and fixed. One of my upgrade patches was corrupt and I don't know why. The issue is fixed. But you must uninstall and reinstall to fix it.
Also note: that uninstalling directly from the market does not always do the trick. You must go to settings, applications, manage applications, weight watchers mobile and click uninstall after you have uninstalled from the market place. If you do not see weight watchers mobile in the list under manage applications that means it was uninstalled successfully from the android market place.
If you need help, you may contact me 714.330.1296, and I will be happy to help anyone though the issue.
10/13/2010 - NOTICE TO ALL USERS EXPERIENCING DOWNLOAD ISSUES
I searched the android.com help forum, and this is a recommended fix for the download issue.
“Fixed it by clearing the Markets cache from Application settings.”
If you do not know how to do this.
Click on your home button, click “applications”
Find and click on “settings” icon
Click on “Applications”
Click on “Manage Applications”
Find and click on “Market” ( you might have to scroll down quite a ways, but it is in there)
Click “clear cache”
When you click that button , it does nothing.. But be patient.. Stay on that screen until you see “Cache ………. 0.00B” right above the button.
Email me if this fix worked for you!

I originally built bluApple as a personal utility to rapidly produce websites. Over several years it has slowly grown into a respectable CMS tool. I feel that with support from the community, bluApple Coldpress can become a contender as one of the top CMS products on the market.

Hi,
I have recently downloaded your app for web view weight watchers and it keeps telling me that my login details are wrong. They are the correct details. I also went onto the link above to do as you suggest and it still needed me to log in and still said that my details are incorrect. Please Help.
Many Thanks
Diane
I have loved the WebView ap since March when I purchased it. Friday night, I started getting this error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Request URL: /mobile/login/index.aspx
Now it is Monday, and I haven't been able to access the WeightWatchers website on my phone for 3 days. I can still login just fine on a regular computer. Please help!
This doesn't seem to connect to the Canadian Weight Watchers Site - Any chance it is just a configuration issue?
So...by paying for this android app...i have to have an account on the weight watchers site, which means actually i am paying 5$/week.
Am i understanding this correctly?
