  • Important VibePro 6 Update Information

    VibePro 6 has now been released to the App Store. We have invested a great deal of time and effort into re-building VibePro from the ground up to bring some fantastic new features to our customers. We are exited for you to see what we have built for you.

    Unfortunately in our effort to do so we had to make some major restructuring changes to make this happen. On top of that Apple has also made extreme changes in the operating system. These changes have caused an update glitch. Below is a simple workaround to this glitch.

    1. Calibration Number: Verify that you have a screenshot of your calibration number in the photos app. Some users may have deleted this. If that is the case open up VibePro and hit the CAL button to record that number. An example screenshot is below.

    2. Backup Vibration Data: Connect your iPad to iTunes to backup your vibration readings. Below is a screenshot of where in iTunes you need to go. (Dropbox users can skip this step)

    Safari.1

    3. iOS 7: Verify that your iPad has been updated to iOS 7. It is required for use of VibePro 6. You can update using either iTunes or by going into the settings app of the iPad. The screenshots below show where on the iPad you can go to update to iOS 7.

    4. Uninstall VibePro: Tap and hold on the VibePro icon. The icons should start shaking. Tap on the “x” to uninstall VibePro. The screenshots below show what it should look like.

    5. Install and Update VibePro:Open up the App Store and ensure you are logged into the account that VibePro was purchased with. You can check which account you are logged into by scrolling to the bottom of the featured tab. The account information was included in the paperwork shipped with every iPad. Tap the search box on the top right to search for VibePro. There should be a cloud symbol that allows you to download it again for free.

    Tap the cloud icon to download VibePro. Stay in the App Store until it installs. Hit the update button if that is shown. (If you see a price there it indicates that you are not logged into the correct iTunes account.) The screenshots below will show you what you should be looking at for the install and update process.

  • Microphone Requirement in VibePro

    I wanted to make sure everyone knows about the new iOS 7 privacy requirement of apps requesting access to the microphone. Many users have reported that their accelerometers are non-responsive since upgrading to iOS 7. Users that have this problem most likely said no to microphone access in VibePro. Even though the accelerometer works through the dock or Lightning connector as far as the application is concerned it is all the same thing. To fix this problem on your iPad open up the settings app (gear icon) and select privacy. Then select Microphone and ensure that VibePro is turned on. Please see the screenshots below for additional information.

  • Update #2: iOS 7 and Our Apps

    Here is another update for those that have updated to iOS 7.

    iRotorBalancer and iVibraMeter:

    Both of these apps have iOS 7 updates on the way. iVibraMeter will be available any hour now. iRotorBalancer will be available in a few short days.
    VibePro:
    The upcoming VibePro 6 is still on track to launch this month and is fully iOS 7 compatible. It will include full iOS 7 compatibility and many more features including a more powerful route workflow and in-app trending.
    Please let us know if you have any questions regarding iOS 7 and our apps.

  • An Update on iOS 7 and Our Apps

    We have discovered some bugs with our apps in iOS 7. Please do not update if these features are important to you.

    VibePro:
    1. Text: The text icon in the spectrum screen allows you to add custom text to the spectrum view.
    2. Threshold Line is also not functional.
    The upcoming VibePro 6 will be released in late October and is fully iOS 7 compatible. It will include those two features and many more including a more powerful route workflow and in-app trending.

    iRotorBalancer and iVibraMeter:
    Both of these apps have the same bug found in the Report Manager. The ability to add a new plant is not functional. New machines can be added to existing plants and data can be saved. But, new plants cannot be created. We are working on a fix for these apps, but it will take some time as Apple requires the entire app to be rewritten for iOS 7.
    The apps are otherwise perfectly functional.

    Please let us know if you have any questions regarding iOS 7 and our apps.
