SUPPORT
Please don't leave support requests on iTunes as these are anonymous and I have no way of contacting you if I have questions. Instead there is a link to my support page from iTunes and from the app itself (or simply go to http://grahamhaley.co.uk/meters/). Alternatively, PLEASE contact me directly via my support pages and you will get a quick response.
What's new in Version 2.9.1
I have listened to the feedback from my last update, and I do appreciate that people have different opinions about the colours used in the graphs. As a result I have added a few different colour themes in the settings, so that users can choose the colours they prefer. One such theme will display the bar graphs in both red and green, depending on how the values compare with the average line.

Bug fixes, including the iPad crash when adding your first reading. Apologies to those of you who hit this.

Updated my support site to try to explain how best to enter readings in different circumstances (e.g. historical vs current).

As with all updates, if you have my backup feature, please take a backup and export it off your device (e.g. by email or using Dropbox) BEFORE updating.

Finally, I do appreciate feedback or comments on my apps. Please send any questions via my support site, and if you like this app, PLEASE consider leaving a review on iTunes, or updating your existing review to version 2.9.1.
