Written By dan | 5 comments 

GateGuru 1.2 was approved by Apple and is now available to be downloaded. In this update, we made several enhancements to GateGuru:
1. Better support for working offline or without connectivity to GateGuru’s servers
2. Ability to upload existing photos (from the Camera Roll) for GateGuru amenities
3. Fix for a recent change to Twitter OAuth

We aren’t resting on our laurels and are back at work for the next upgrade of GateGuru. We have a very exciting upcoming few weeks at GateGuru and we will keep you posted as new features, functions and partnerships are announced. In the mean time, thanks for your continued support. As always, if you have any comments or suggestions for GateGuru, please let us know at support [at] gateguruapp.com.

Safe travels.

Many people have asked about the status of GateGuru, so we figured that we would just blog what is going on. We first submitted the app on October 15th and on November 7th we received a call from Apple that they were rejecting the app for a few technical reasons. We spent the following week and a half making those technical changes and we then resumbitted GateGuru to Apple on November 19th. We have been told that since the reasons for rejection were well understood, that we would receive an expedited review process (meaning it would take “days” not “weeks”). We are hoping to receive approval from Apple this week so that we can get GateGuru out there as soon as possible. GateGuru could not be released at a better time, as holiday travel time is particularly hellish, making GateGuru ean even more valuable tool. We are hoping to launch next week and will keep everyone posted. Thanks for the continued patience and happy travels this holiday week!

I am proud to announce that we have submitted GateGuru to Apple. This is a major milestone for all of us involved. It wasn’t that long ago, but I still clearly remember the day that I developed the idea for GateGuru (see the story in the About tab). I must admit that my first idea wasn’t for GateGuru to be an iPhone app, but rather a book (a la Zagat for airports). Luckily my fiancé was able to quite easily convince me that this was much better as an app than a book!

So after 9 exhausting months, including leaving my job as a venture capitalist to run the new company full time, I am overjoyed at the GateGuru product that we have submitted to Apple. Hopefully the review process will be fast and easy, and consumers can start to experience the richness of GateGuru as soon as possible.

There are lots of updates to come (both to the app and the blog) so stay tuned. Feel free to reach out to us in the Support tab or you can email me personally at dan[at]gateguruapp[dot]com.

Safe travels.
