It’s that time of year again! We’ve decked out our office with twinkle lights, a mini red tree, and we’re all planning some good ol’ quality time with family and friends. This is also a great time of year for our customers as well. Both Senuti and Koku come in extra handy this time of year and we’re always excited to be able to add some productivity to the holidays.

We love Senuti around the holidays because it makes the hassle of populating your brand new MacBook Air with all your favorite tunes a breeze. You can simply plug in any iPod, iPhone, or iPad device, hit transfer, and start listening to music, playlists, or even watching videos without the trouble of computer to computer transfer. No need to stress on Christmas morning!

Koku is especially useful during the holidays with all that shopping. We love how you can quickly see the purchases you’ve made, tag them, and then analyze your spending to see how much you’ve shelled out so far. If you’ve been using Koku for awhile now, you can even go back and see how much you spent last holiday season, to give yourself a gage for this year’s shopping spree. No stressing about how much money is in your account, it’s all right there at your fingertips!

We hope everyone enjoys this wonderful time of year. Make sure to take the time to stop and appreciate everyone in your life.

Cheers,

The FadingRed Team

Today Apple released OS X Lion via the Mac App Store. We are happy to announce that Koku, Senuti and iColors are all compatible with the latest version of Mac OS X Lion.  

With the release of Lion, Senuti will no longer be providing support for users running OS X 10.4 as of October 20, 2011. We will continue to support users running OS X 10.4 until this date so please contact our support team if you have any questions or issues. 

We’re excited to announce the release of Koku 1.2 today which adds several new features and enhancements. It is now possible to keep track of what happened to the cash in your wallet by creating a cash account, a new account type introduced in this release. In addition, we’ve done a major overhaul of the reporting functionality to bring you even more informative and insightful reports. The reporting updates include a new transaction view so you can reveal the transactions that make up any given report, as well as the ability to search a report’s transactions just like you can in the account view. In the distribution reports, we’ve greatly improved the way your data is organized to craft a more logical report. Each slice in the graph now represents an indivdual tag from your tagging history making the flow of money even easier to understand!

Our team has also been working hard to add new localizations to Koku. A new Spanish localization has been added in this release and Koku also currently supports German, Dutch, and Norwegian. We are excited to continue bringing Koku to more users around the world.

This release also includes several bug fixes and minor enhancements to keep things running smoothly.

We’re constantly working to improve Koku and would love to hear your thoughts! Shoot us an email to let us know how we’re doing or to share your ideas with our team!

Last week, Apple launched the Mac App Store with over 1,000 Mac apps available for sale, including our very own Koku! Koku is now available in the Mac App store for purchase at the price of $29.99 (USD) in addition to being available in the FadingRed store.

Whether you choose to purchase through the Mac App Store or through FadingRed, you will be receiving the same great product. Currently, there is no way to transfer purchases that were made through the FadingRed website to the Mac App Store, as this is not supported by Apple. Also, we continue to encourage all potential customers to try Koku for free by downloading the free trial from our website before deciding to purchase. It’s a great way to get a feel for whether the software will work for your needs.

In addition, we have made some pricing changes on the FadingRed store. Koku is now available for $29.99 through the FadingRed store (previously $32), and Senuti is now priced at $18.99 (previously $18). These changes reflect our attempt to maintain pricing consistency with the Mac App store and to avoid confusion for our customers.

Happy New Year!
