Did you guys have trouble getting the app approved via app store? I read that Apple sometimes reject dashboard type apps.
Why do they reject dashboard apps?

#32I hate not having any other comment to make but I think you would benefit from trying to optimise the size of the main banner image [1]. It's currently clocking in at just under 800KB, and loading it was like downloading an image on dial-up on my very reasonable 30Mbps. Even after reloading a few times it took me 16.8 seconds to download. Good luck with your app and congratulations on shipping. [1] http://images.tamp…
I've fixed that now! Sorry about the slow load times.

#34Nice! I wake up every day around 5:30am and try to get up and going as quickly as I can. You nailed some of the key things I already do in the morning: - check the weather - figure out what meetings I have for the day The other thing I look for is if there was anything interesting for me that happened while I was sleeping. The best example is how I check to see if there are emails from specific people or internal mon…
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 mailing lists you subscribe to?
Similar to how the VIP feature works but in the consolidated view that you've created. I want to see everything in one place.

#35Do you happen to work on an android version, or is that simply too much work?
Google Now is basically the same idea, but even more interesting/extensible. Maybe not quite as "Morning" oriented UX-wise, but it satisfies the same needs for me. I can look at it in the morning and see the weather, commute time, tasks, calendar events, etc on a dashboard. Works great!

#36Would be great if commute could be either public transport or by bike - I don't have a car, which in Denmark isn't very uncommon for city people. Otherwise great app - now I just need a way for it to be on my TV when i eat breakfast :D
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.

AirPlay Mirroring with Apple TV? That should do the trick!

Alright cool. I'll add it to the list of things to look into doing. :-)

#39Very nice.
I would love to have an API I could push information to. If I could have our systems send dashboard updates it could alert me to system issues. That would /own/.

#40"Requires iOS 6.0 or later" - one of my least favourite phrases. I'm curious - what specific features require iOS 6? Why is so much iOS software backwards-incompatible?
