Hello everyone! Please see my app - On This Day...

[camradal]

Hi everyone, I've been lurking here for some time, but decided to post now.

I recently published my app, On This Day... as part of 30 to launch program.

Nokia and Microsoft even sent me a new Lumia 800 for it.

Please check it out and let me know what you think!

I'm currently hooked on phone development and planning to add a live tile soon.

Awesome dude. I love stuff like this.

A major update! On This Day... 2.0 is now live

Another monthly update is now live (and it's a big one). Following the feedback we added major new functionality, such as:
- Grouping the events by years and centuries,
- Larger font size setting for easier reading
- A new ability to get events from phone's calendar, such as birthdays...

Please enjoy, it's free in your local marketplace. And don't hesitate replying with your comments and suggestions. Thanks for all the support!

Great and fun use of a "live" tile. Love the application, and definitely one I always install. Are you looking into releasing any other applications like this (of the day type of things)?

I did like the Word of the Day section of the dictionary.com app, but it rarely (if ever) has a reliable live tile.

(Also, thinking of getting the paid version, it's definitely worth having!)

Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you are enjoying the app! I haven't quite decided which app to develop next. I might try to port this one to Windows 8 as a next project.
