This is great to see those new features and now i’m excited to see the update too. Hopefully Apple approves it soon so we can download it from the App Store and start using it. However just wonder why there’s another next version 3.1. Is it coming soon or just an info that they’re working on another update? No idea, but i prefer to download the version 3.0 once it’s available rather than waiting for the 3.1. Good job!
