Version 2.0:

The introduction of our first ever version 2.0.  This was built because when we first created Rocket, we had no idea how popular it would be. Over time, we added new features and made the program do even more for authors.  However, in order for us to continue adding to rocket, improving it and creating more features, we needed to redesign the program from the ground up.  With that, Rocket 2.0 was born.

Version: 1.0.54 (MAC) and 1.0.55 (PC)

• In January, Amazon started doing testing on their Categories.  This caused problems for our Category feature and some of our AMS feature.  The above two versions have improved the situation, allowing all features to work and progress except for the Category feature.For Macs, the Category data isn’t being tested as much, so you’ll find that you don’t run into the problem often. However, for PC, you’ll see the Category feature down a lot.But no worries, because we’ve got two things for you:A: Our version 2.0 coming out soon has been tested and will not be subject to those tests, or any other future tweaking -yay!B: If, however, you need Category data and can’t get it, contact us on support and one of our teammates will fire up their Mac version and get it for you.Sorry about all of that.

Version: 1.0.53

• Due to Amazon’s cloud system, it was stopping our Keyword, Competitor and some of our AMS features from not fully functioning.  This version changed the way data is worked in the cloud so that it doesn’t have that issue.

Version: 1.0.52

• Fixed some bugs

Version: 1.0.51

• 1.0.50 fixed most of the Windows 10 users issues, however, it didn’t fix all – this should get ’em!
• Also, our first iteration of Mac 1.0.50 had a bug

Version: 1.0.50

• Amazon implemented a new cloud based system to help them combat DDoS hacker attacks. However, this also caused our system to be mistakenly blocked (especially for Windows 10 users).  However, a fix was created alleviating the issue

Version: 1.0.49

• Minor bug fixes
• Speed issue on Windows 10 version changed
• Status bar fixed

  Version: 1.0.48

• Minor bug fixes

Version: 1.0.47

• Switched Rocket to a secure https mode for pulling data

 Version: 1.0.46

• Amazon made some changes to the way they show data which caused some users to get the “24 hour break popup.”  This update has been made to fix that.
• However, we’ve found that some Windows 10 users are still running into the problem.  My team and I are currently working on v1.0.47 to address that issue.

Version: 1.0.45

• Updated to reflect Amazon’s new changes to the way they were showing reviews.  Reviews are now working inside of the competition analyzer of Rocket.
• Fixed a bug that was causing the white screen to show up when switching between tabs – especially the AMS tab.
• Updated the words on the Keyword Feature popup box.

Version: 1.0.44

Version: 1.0.42

• PC version icon was missing

Version: 1.0.41

• New Feature – AMS Filter.  You can now filter your AMS keyword results based on the way Rocket found it.  So, no longer will get you random books from random categories.  Take control and get the AMS keywords you want, all with a simple click of a button.
• Bug fix on AMS keyword suggested A-Z keywords

Version: 1.0.40

• THANK THE MAKER – Amazon finally finished their A/B testing of categories and we created another version of Rocket to work with Amazon’s new way of handling categories.  So, all functionality of the AMS search and Category search are back in operation!

Version: 1.0.39

• We discovered that Amazon’s Category changes are still in A/B testing.  So, based on Geo-location, some users were seeing the original way, while others were seeing the new way.  We added both to Rocket, so all users could use the new category feature regardless of your location and what version of Categories you were seeing.

Version: 1.0.38

• A change made only to PC to reflect a bug in the PC version

Version: 1.0.37

• Updated to reflect Amazon’s new changes to Categories. This will make it so the Category Feature and AMS Keywords Feature report correctly.

Version: 1.0.36

• Made the version number a clickable link that will take you to this page.
  That way, all users can not only see what the latest version is but also can read about what we changed
• Fixed a bug with Amazon suggested A-Z suggestions
• Renamed three of the four features to something that is a little more straightforward:
  • Idea Search -> Keyword Search
  • Competitor Analysis -> Competitor Analyzer
  • Category Hunter -> Category Search
• Removed “Report Bugs” and have combined that with Support.
• Removed “Download Tutorial PDF” link at the bottom.  All tutorial information will be shown on the Tutorial page

Version: 1.0.35

• Minor bug fixes

Version: 1.0.34

• After coming out with the Category Feature, Amazon changed their category internal programming, causing our Category Feature to fail at pulling information as well as the category aspect of our AMS Search to fail as well.  Once Amazon got their new programming finished, we pulled an all-nighter and made the necessary changes to reflect Amazon’s changes.

Version 1.0.33

• Introduced the brand new Category Hunter feature.  With this, you can now quickly do a search of for niche categories, and see how many books that day you’d need to sell in order to be #1 or in the top #20 of a category.
