Machine Screws Drill/Tap Info Version 1.4.6a/1.4.7 Updates

[APP UPDATE]

Machine Screws Drill/Tap Info Version 1.4.7 released tonight – so check your market for an update in your apps. There are a few minor improvements:

v1.4.6
-Added Splash screen and start up sound
-Fixed a minor detail on the Drill Chart
it incorrectly referred to #6-48 as #6-38
-Micro English and Metric screws were added
-Many less standard Metric screws were added
[EDIT] – fixed an incorrect value for M15x1.25 – be sure to use 1.4.6a update

v1.4.7
-Added settings for splash screen/sound
-Added settings to confirm exit or not
-Updated share dialog to share app via messaging services

The app now has 82 English screw sizes and 119 Metric screws sizes! Wow!

I’ve noticed and have tried to address the German translation concerns.
This version tries again to improve up the German localization.
With that said, if you know German and can help & I’ll donate some $$$ to you.
There are about 20 or so phrases in the app so it shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes to help me out.  Email me at the contact link above and we can maybe make this work.
PS: same goes for Spanish & any languages you may like to have added too!

Thank you for your support!
