Hey Chompers,

The Gnomes are good listeners and hard workers. We’re proud to announce the latest release of Chompin for Android, version 1.0.5. We understand that many of you like the notifications feature we released in 1.0.4. We also heard from several of you that you’d like more control over this feature. 

With that in mind we redesigned the Settings screen a bit and added the ability to control notifications messages from the application. Yay!

We fixed a few reported FC bugs and added higher resolution graphics for newer phones (i.e. EVO and Droid X). We also noticed that in newer releases of the Amazon MP3 application they block our ‘buy MP3s’ feature. We’re a little baffled as to why Amazon would decide to do this - not sure if they don’t like Gnomes or just made some ‘undocumented enhancements’. Allowing external applications to launch and search the Amazon store (even without affiliate integration) should be good for users and for Amazon’s bottom line. We’ll keep trying to bring this feature back because we think it’s good for the music ecosystem and good for our users.

If you notice any bugs, want to submit a feature request, or want to learn more about the gnomes, please feel free to drop us an email. 

As always, keep discovering new music!
