It just keeps getting better

Hello and happy almost Friday.

We've just rolled out our latest release, much of it with improvements based upon what we're hearing from you. We've fixed problems and added features to make Lexy better, more powerful and easier to use. Here's what's new:

REDUCED NOTIFICATIONS
We've reduced the volume of email and SMS notifications. We were sending out waaaayyyy too many alerts and you guys let us know. Until we offer you more control over how often you'd like to be alerted to new Quikcasts, we're capping alerts to either one email or one SMS per day.

We've also put a moratorium on late night SMS alerts. If you choose to receive text notifications, you'll get them at 8am PST (11am EST).

ENHANCED PROFILE
You can now edit your profile, including your notification preferences, name, email address and password. When logged in, simply click the "Edit Profile" link at the top right of the page.

PASSWORD HELP
You can reset your password by clicking on the "Forgot password?" link under the login button on our homepage.

PLAYLIST CONTROL
Now you can easily remove Quikcasts directly from your playlist when you're logged in.

PHONE NAVIGATION
While listening to Lexy on your mobile phone, you can now rewind, pause and fast forward. Press 4 to rewind, 5 to pause and 6 to fast-forward (check out the pic below).

MORE SELECTION
Our goal is to make sure that everyone has something they want to listen to on Lexy. We've added more Quikcasts and continue to do so regularly. Check out your favorite categories to see what's new.

Welcome to the Lexy Blog!

Hello everyone and welcome to the official Lexy blog, here to keep you updated on the latest and greatest company news, upcoming features, hot topics and customer feedback.

We’re super excited about Lexy, and we’d like to spread the love. In fact, if we had your mobile phone number, we would do just that — we’d share something with you, a joke, the latest news headlines, a Spanish lesson, whatever you fancy. From this share you could start your very own playlist, a collection of your favorite audio from the web, that Lexy would maintain and update automatically. That means everything you want to hear is in one place, in one playlist, that you can hear on your mobile phone or from your account on www.lexy.com.

All you have to do is select what you want to hear, and let us do the work for you. We’ll find your updates and alert you when we do, we’ll “sync” your subscriptions for you and have them fresh, ready and in order whenever you call in or click play.

To start building your playlist, create an account on www.lexy.com. To hear your playlist on your cell phone, call 415-692-4933. When you sign up online, we ask you for your mobile phone number so we can recognize it and have your playlist ready when you call in. Lexy works on every mobile device and every network. You don’t need a data plan because Lexy works on the voice channel of your mobile phone, and the service itself is completely free.

At Lexy, we’re excited about bringing rich, interactive content to mobile phones for free. ‘nuff said.

That’s all for our first post, but please stay tuned. Please send us comments, too!
