Baconit now fully updated for Windows Phone 8

Published by at

Following an update over the holidays, Quinn Damerell's popular Reddit clinet for Windows Phone, Baconit, has been updated to v 2.5.1, and both the free and donation versions of the app will run on Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8.

Writing on Baconit's Reddit channel, Damerell points out the major changes, and we've also listed the changes to 2.5, that was released last week, but didn't include the free WP8 client - as Damerell points out you can't 'stack' uploads to the Windows Store, so he had to wait for the first update to be accepted before the missing WP8 version could be uploaded.

Baconit 2.5.1 (WP8 only)

  • Attempted to fix crashing
  • Fixed cake day number ending issue
  • Fixed Yellow Comment Box
  • Bug Fixes

Baconit 2.5 (Windows Phone 8 only)

  • Windows Phone 8 Support
  • Lock screen wallpaper from any subreddi
  • Lock screen notifications
  • New live tiles for Windows Phone 8
  • Tap + Send support
  • New social network sharing
  • New animations
  • High resolution images
  • Fixes to flip view to use less memory and have better performance 
  • Completely rewritten backend which improves performance of entire app

Both versions are fully functional, althought the 'donation' version will help support Damerell's continued development of the application, which has been impressive over the last year. And of course there's lots of discussion about the client over on reddit.com/r/baconit.
