    Yeah it's a tough call what to do. I remember that the Reddit client Alien Blue did a pretty good job of free/paid separation.

    The hardest part of the watch portion is just the testing and debugging. It takes a long time to install on the device and get a real feel for the speed of the app. The other hard …

    Weird that it worked after a restart. iOS ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Glad you found the location search feature, let me know if you think anything else would be cool.

    I thought about doing some sort of free version of the app with IAP, but it was very hard to find a way to do it that didn't make the app feel too restricted. I might toy with the …

    Bummer, I'll try and hunt down the crash logs and see what's happening.

    I guess there are a lot of things you could factor in for walking, but an average speed would probably get a close estimate in most cases.

    Multiple weather panels will be allowed in a future update. We removed them for the launch. Stocks will also get better. Sorry that it's not there yet, but hopefully we'll do a bet…

    Multiple weather panels will be available in an update. We had it enabled in beta versions, but it could get confusing so we only allowed one for 1.0. The flight tracker idea is a …

    Tap on a panel and select the right circle. It'll give you more panels to choose from.

    I feel your pain, I too have an iPad 1 that I'd like to use more things on, like dashboards. :-P I guess this is just what we get when we buy Apple products. They are damn good at …

    No particular reason. Mostly just time, I want to get a color picker like that in there someday.

    The Reminders and Events panels both use EventKit which only added reminders support in iOS 6. Also the high adoption rate of iOS 6 makes it not worth while to support older versio…

    I live in a city too and don't have a car. I plan on adding public transit support soon, because I really want it too.

    Interesting idea. Are you thinking something along the lines of Mail.app's VIP feature where certain e-mails are propagated to the top or are you just talking about the content of …

    I've thought about a Mac app version of it, just haven't had the time to mock it up and prototype it. I can you keep you posted on that front, but the next thing on the list is iPh…

    We plan to make it a universal app sometime in the near future. We just wanted to focus on making it great on the iPad first, where we thought the concept worked best.
