Today we released our first update for PamFax for Android. Based on the feedback collected and further usability testing we implemented several changes:
- Fixed several crash bugs
- Improved application performance
- Significantly improved work-flow & added automation
- Added notification when a fax is pending to be sent
- Added exit button to quit PamFax
- Added info button with version information
- Added support for lower screen resolutions (e.g. 240×400 in Samsung Galaxy3)
- Smaller fixes and optimizations
The login screen was changed. There is now an explanation of how PamFax works and what you get when you sign up.
Once you have logged in with your PamFax user name or signed up for a new account you will see the PamFax main screen which looks very similar to the other applications (Windows, OSX, Linux).
Sending a document is very simple. PamFax Android will now automatically ask you what you want to send to whom. The workflow is the same as you are used to with all other PamFax applications and the PamFax Portal. No need to learn a new application!
We hope you enjoy the update. Several people were affected by crashes in the 1.0 version and these should be now resolved.
The next version of PamFax for Android will have an option to send documents from online storage platforms like Box.net, Dropbox and Google Docs. Stay tuned for the next version!
More details and download in the Android Market.

Today we released a few usability updates for PamFax 3.0. Since launch end of May, we have received some user feedback that it was hard to understand how PamFax works and how to sign up. Based on this feedback we mainly have redone the account creation and login screens. The social login has been improved too. The home page has seen an update as well to make clearer how PamFax works and how to sign up.
In the PamFax API we made some small fixes to address issues we found since we went live.

Vincent wrote an excellent review on the PamFax service. The review was published end of May, right after we upgraded our platform to PamFax3. At the time the review was written we were still sorting out some technical post-migration issues.
Vincent mentions that the PamFax service has variable speed, this is something I’d like to clarify. After the lauch of PamFax3 we indeed had some performance issues, but these were related to the new hardware environment in which PamFax3 operated. As a result we did not see the anticipated performance stability compared to PamFax2.
This issue was quickly resolved and we have since not had any performance issues, fax delivery is fast and reliable.
We are also looking at how we can improve our online communication strategy and extend it beyond the occasional product announcement. Point taken!
We’d like to thank Vincent for his review and, especially as he is a web designer, for the positive feedback on the user interface and usability.

We have updated the Pamela website www.pamela.biz to a complete new look:
We made the whole site much nicer then it was before and improved the usability a lot. It’s now much easier to get the information you are looking for about Pamela and to download and then order Pamela.
The website is now also available in german. If your browser is set to german, the page will automatically open in german. But you can also switch between the languages in the bottom right corner.
Any comments are welcome.
