• Passwords are encrypted in the settings file, and in memory.  This is not strong encryption, but it’s better than plain text or simple encoding.
• The old AppData directory is deleted if present (1.0-1.3)
• Crash reporter – if the app crashes, a report is automatically sent the next time you run GVNotifier.

If you’re having trouble with ClickOnce, or need files for a portable version (create a blank settings.xml file), get the standalone version.  This version does not have auto-update!

This version adds lots of preferences–so you can use it how you like.

Check out the screenshots:

The contact list supports pinning, keep your favorite contacts just a click away.  Contact photos are downloaded from Google Contacts.

The login experience has been enhanced, if you’re still unable to login, you may send a detailed error report and I can look over the logs to determine what’s happening.

Lots of preferences have been added for key features.

Quickly call or text new people without having to open a browser to Google Voice.

Easily message contacts with multiple numbers.  Just click the number to choose where to send to.
