It's been just over a week since we released WPCentral v2.0 into the world, pushing up the total number of app downloads to over 30,000. Honestly myself and everyone involved have been absolutely blown away by the incredible feedback we've received on the site, via e-mail and of course in marketplace reviews. We couldn't be more thrilled that you guys are enjoying the new app and I wanted to say thank you one more time for the continued investment our community shows.
With that said, v2.0 is already being replaced, proving that if you want to find any mistakes in your code, just release it to the public to test in their masses!
You'll be able to download it from the marketplace right now here, but I know you're keen to know what's changed so here we go:
So I've been busy! As we've said before, v2.1 is here to tighten up the v2.0 release, with the exception of the comments refresh button it's all about tweaks and bug fixes.
However, coming in v2.2 should be the full wallpapers functionality as well as a couple of other small improvements that we're mulling over.
As always we hope you enjoy the app, and welcome your feedback in any form, whether direct to us through e-mail, site comments, or as a review on the Windows Phone marketplace.

Quick note, if you're not seeing the update you may need to power your phone off then on :)
Also folks, you can select an updateable app from the Marketplace and if it only offers the "share" option, tap back, and reselect the app to show the option to "update".
This worked! Whereas turning my phone off and on again did not.
Huzzah!
Have you been to the about page Jay? ;-)
Ha! A few pixels weren't my priority this time ;)
Just Teasing lol
awesome! thanks mr. jay.
Oh goodness. Jay is secretly the joker. The signs were all there!
Thats a lot of work you did...thanks:)
As always, Nice work!
Awesome! \m/
Fantastic job :)
Just keeps getting better and better!
Nice. Glad to see the app advancing. It would be great if you could someday add forum support as it's the only forum I currently use board express for.
Version 3 is the planned release for forum support at this time ;)
Awesome. Can't hardly wait.
You are doing an excellent job! This app is BY FAR the best native app from any news-site I've seen!
Exactly, plus I really like how they where able to fix the panoramic text.
This is the best WP news app I've found.
I've noticed a stutter in the animation when loading an article. But other than that this app is awesome. I check it more than I do Facebook...
Thanks lion, will add this to the list for 2.2
Gotta love the systemTray opacity ~.O
Nice work Jay, really thorough. It's a pain tracking down all the minor bugs that dont stand out when developing the heavy duty stuff and you've nailed most of them.
Keep up the awesome work, Jay. You're a genius, man. :)
I would like to see some type of separator between news items, even something as basic as a single pixel line. It's a little jumbled together in my opinion.
You know in design draft v0.1 I had that... Decided I didn't like it... How about I make it an option for v2.2?
Cant go wrong with more options :)
I may have to agree with him even if I have a hard time criticizing anything about my favorite app ;-)
I love the way this app has progressed. Its very beautifully designed. Great job guys
What an appropriate name!
Great work guys (y) =)
I agree. Visually, the app has progressed nicely.
Done!
Awesome updating moe=)
You broke the logo :( ...
Just kidding, once again... Great job!
Best app on Windows Phone period! Most usefully app on WP, most informative app on WP, most definitely the highest quality WP community app, and it's the app that builds the most excitement around WP period.. With useful updates, and news tips everyday on the hour,, well, I don't expect these guys to spend Sunday updating WPC because they work so hard all week. Great job....... MS should hold annual award ceremony's where the users vote for the top 20 apps.
I like this idea, can't say I've won an award before... :)
Yeah! I second this idea.
Love the app, keep up the excellent work
Awesome. Great job.
Looks like the temp invisible Quantum text got fixed yay
Yes sir,they fix the comment box.. Thank you..
Awesome thanks for keeping the community well informed.
Awesome
I use this app pretty much every day. I don't miss a day. Really great job=D=D=D=D
You are the bomb James Bennett. Keep it up weeeee=)=D
This is fantastic! Keep up the excellent work!!
I don't remember what I paid for this app when it first went live.but in all honestly this is one of the best looking apps on mp today. Jay you did a cracker jack of a job with this. It keeps getting better all the time now when we can get the forums on it wowsa...
I agree. I wish Jay could work on everyone's app- especially Engadget's. They could learn a thing or two.
Engadgets app is a joke. when up against this app.
I agree 100%. Engadgets is nice, but wpc app looks... More high budget? More polished? Jay, you are a true professional. I can only hope you make more apps soon
