MacGourmet Touch Beta is Underway!


The beta for MacGourmet Touch is FINALLY under way. The first, small group of email messages went out today. Once I confirm that the basics are working, and that there aren't any problems, I'll send out information to the whole list, so keep a look out for yours!

[Note: If you don't receive one and you sent a request, it's probably because either you didn't get in under the limit Apple imposes on testing (100) or it's because you didn't provide the correct information that was requested in the initial beta post. Depending on how testing goes, the beta may be expanded as people are dropped to make room for new testers.]

Beta Test MacGourmet Touch


Yes, that time has FINALLY arrived! I'm looking for some brave souls to beta test the first version of MacGourmet for the iPhone/iPod touch: MacGourmet Touch.

What I need from people interested: Just your name and the id of your iPhone or iPod touch. The requirements are that you have a WiFi network, or WiFi-capable Mac, and are running Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

To get your phone id, sync your iPhone to your Mac, which will start up iTunes if it's not already running. Then, select your iPhone in iTunes and choose the Summary tab. Click directly on the "Serial number" label. This will toggle the display to show you the 40 character phone identifier. Without selecting anything, choose Edit > Copy and then paste the contents of the clip board into an email message (or just click this link to open a new email message), and send that off to macgourmet [at] advenio.com with a subject of "MacGourmet iPhone Beta". The beta test should get underway soon. Thanks!

Mealplan Revealed: Looking for Beta Testers


Mealplan, a brand-new new plug-in for MacGourmet, will add a whole new suite of ways for you to use the recipes in your library.

Plan your weekly meals and print schedules for each week. Make and print menus. Send your meal plans to iCal in one easy step. Mealplan can do all this and more.

Mealplan will be available in the same way that Nutrition is, as an optional add-on to MacGourmet. You'll be able to try it out, and if you like it, you be able to add it to MacGourmet for an introductory price of just $9.95. If you don't need it, you won't be forced to pay an upgrade fee to get something you don't want (MacGourmet 2.3, which is required, will be a free update). Mealplan will also be part of MacGourmet Deluxe.

Mealplan is getting close to release and I'm looking for some help shaking out any remaining issues. If interested, just click on the link to send a request to macgourmet [at] advenio.com. Thanks!
