Version 1.11.1 and 1.11.2:  These quick updates fixed three bugs:
  • One caused the Advanced Search results to disappear when a user changed the sort method (Thank you Hannah G. for spotting this bug and letting me know);
  • The other kept users from being able to select the GOE subgroup from a DOT code and see what other DOT codes share the same GOE subgroup; and
  • A minor cosmetic fix.

Version 1.11: MAJOR NEW FEATURE: Multi-Code search added
  • Add up to 6 codes into your Code Search at once and bring them all into a search list for easy access
  • Multi-Code Search is perfect for loading multiple occupations during vocational testimony during a hearing

Version 1.10.2 fixed two bugs:
• fixed issue with iPhone 5s screen devices showing the wrong strength level in list views (Thank you Phillip for identifying this issue); and
• fixed bug keeping advanced search results from being able to sort.

Very exciting new features and improvements in Version 1.10, with the Advanced Search getting a major upgrade!
The Advanced Search improvements include:
• Search for occupations by their Work Force Requirements (i.e. how much involvement they have with data, people, or things);
• Search by General Educational Development levels (i.e., the reasoning, math, and language requirements of the occupation).
• Change each search component to look for the exact value or the minimum of the value you specify (you used to only be able to search by the maximum). Have you ever wondered what are the SVP 9 jobs? Just swipe left and find out!
Other improvements and bug fixes include:
• Better printing/emailing formatting to page-break correctly and adjust dynamically;
• Added change log intro and version history page;
•.Fixed bug in Transferability view where hitting group information button would cause crash;
•.Fixed bug in color of email header bar; and
•.Updated all WebViews screens to have consistent theme.

Version 1.10.1 fixed a small bug that made the new change log intro screen I worked hard on not show up.

Job Sleuth now takes advantage of the full modern iPhone screen (iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max).  Also included in this version are a host of other small improvements and bug fixes.

Some of the fixes are:
 - Printing from the list views should no longer crash the app for any users.
 - The Transferability Analysis page had an issue with the layout of the modifier cells; no more.
 - Layout issues that kept some explanation pages from fully displaying are now fixed (e.g., explanation views for the SCO, Strength Rating, Work Force, and GED fields).
 - Improved visibility of navigation panel when emailing.
 - Made it even easier to leave a rating (I appreciate all positive reviews left!)

Job Sleuth is now Optimized for all iPhone Screen sizes in Version 1.8

Thank you for your continued support; your reviews (both new and updated) are incredibly helpful!  Make sure to let all your colleagues know about Job Sleuth too!

The biggest news in this update is that Job Sleuth now looks beautiful on all iPhone screen sizes.  Ok, I realize the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus came out over a year ago, but better late than never, and I am very excited about finally pushing this update live.  Better still, the groundwork I laid for this update will make future updates much easier to implement.  In addition to supporting all screens, there are many user interface improvements that should make using the DOT even easier and more intuitive, including:  landscape orientation support; also, now Work Force Requirements listed in the detail page are now identified (labels to the left of cell specify each class of requirement).

1.7.2:  I discovered a bug with sorting an Advanced Search and squashed it.

INCREDIBLE NEW FEATURE in Version 1.7

As of Version 1.7 Job Sleuth now includes the ability to perform an in-depth, powerful, lightning-fast, and Social Security compliant job transferability search! Use any combination of a job’s Work Field(s), MPSMS Code(s), SVP, Occupational Group, GOE code, and RFC to instantly find transferable jobs.

This is a desktop-class feature usually found applications that cost many times more than Job Sleuth. It took a considerable amount of time and effort to make sure the disability transferability search works correctly, efficiently, and in the user-friendly way you have come to expect from Job Sleuth. I hope you enjoy the result!

Make sure and tell all your friends and colleagues about this new update and remember to review Job Sleuth in the App Store!

1.7.1: Quick Fix: I realized the "Rate App Now" link was broken in iOS 7 and fixed it.  Now, rating the app (which I truly appreciate) is as quick and easy as it should be.

HUGE UPDATE!

Job Sleuth now includes the data from the MPSMS, Work Fields, Aptitudes, and Temperaments!  This practically doubles the amount of information available for each job!  To better manage this vastly increased amount of data, the the Detail View has been reorganized around a tab bar.

I think you will love this update.  Please leave a review if you do!  There are many more exciting updates to come!

NEW FEATURE: Print and Email search results
Now you can share your Title and Advanced Search results with clients, judges, or adversaries via email or printout.   The printed list contains the specific search term(s) used to narrow the search. as well as essential information about each job. The feature is accessed by touching the "export" button in the top right-hand corner of the results page after each search.

HUGE NEW FEATURE: Advanced Search!

Job Sleuth now has Advanced Search capability to help you scour the DOT and SCO for the job(s) that match the exact criteria or combination of criteria you choose.  This is an incredible enhancement to Job Sleuth's (already astounding) usefulness.

Advanced Search is perfect for all Social Security or vocational practitioners:
-  Social Security attorneys and representatives can prepare their cases by checking their client's disabilities against potentially compatible jobs to help guide medical development, treating physician questionnaires, and hearing preparation.
-  Vocational experts can easily answer any "step four and five" questions by simply plugging in the hypothetical restrictions.
-  Vocational rehabilitation specialists can find jobs their clients are suited for based on the limitations each individual presents with.

NEW FUNCTIONALITY:

- Browse by GOE is now accessible from any job's detail view.  This function is perfect for transferability analysis as it allows you to imediately jump to jobs with the same GOE code, which means they are based on similar interests and have the same requirements for aptitudes and entry level preparation.

- Search results now display their industry information in the list view.  This makes finding the exact job you are looking for much easier and eliminates apparent duplicates in the result list.

1.2.1: Fixed issue where app did not properly recognize Bluetooth keyboard "Enter" button in Code Search input (thanks Don C. for spotting this).

1.2: LOTS OF NEW FEATURES, including:

- AirPrint capability has been introduced.
You've been asking for this, and here it is. Best of all, this is not just a simple printscreen option; when you print a job description, you are given every bit of information relevant to that job, already organized and pre-formatted for quick reference and ease of use, and most jobs print on a single page.

- You can now email any job description from the app:
Share job information with anyone at the press of a button in the same beautifully organized format as the print option. This is the perfect method for users whose printers are not yet AirPrint enabled; just email the code to yourself (or anyone else), and print it from anywhere. (as the email is formatted using html, some email clients will throw it in the junk email box, so check there if it doesn't appear).

- Sort Title Search and GOE Browse results by Title, SVP, Strength, or DOT Code:
This is another requested feature that enhances the app's usability significantly by allowing you to change the way the result list is sorted.

- Clicking on the GOE section of any job's detail view will now give all the GOE information in a subview.

- Enhancements to the user interface, including listing the number of search results in the navigation bar for quick reference, as well as a better organized SCO presentation in the job detail view.

Enjoy the update and remember to share your ratings/reviews (and feel free to tell other people about it). Also, though I am already working on additional features for the next update, I would love to hear about anything that would make Job Sleuth more useful to you in your practice. So visit the support page and email me if you would like something added, and I will try to get it in as soon as possible.

Please remember to rate Job Sleuth after each update.  Your support is very much appreciated!!!

NEW FEATURE:  The new Browse by GOE (Guide for Occupational Exploration) option provides a quick way to find relevant jobs by drilling into the DOT using layers of general to specific categories.  Discovering new jobs has never been this easy.  You can also use GOE codes for jobs you already know to quickly find similiar or related jobs you might otherwise have overlooked.
