Can't believe they went for the same Facebook style launcher, when it's a) used by Facebook b) only got 5 icons c) it's explicitly regarded as bad UI design by Apple (at this WWDC).
Yelp has an app like this, too among many other services.

#63I'm using 2-factor authentication. Couldn't create an application password. Had to use my main pwd+token which is only good for 30 days. Shouldn't they allow the use of a 2-factor application password for an iOS app?
Why couldn't you create an application password?

iPad is 'that' hard because it is non-trivial to take advantage of the new screen real estate. Often-times you must implement a completely new navigation model because the stock split view controller is rarely the navigation model you want to use. iPod touch is generally easier. It usually comes down to gracefully degrading features. Much care must also be taken to ensure that the app performs well on the iPod touch…
Even then, I can't think of much you've got to degrade for the iPod touch. The big stuff (screen/ram/graphics/cpu) is near enough identical. If you support the previous gen iPhone, the current gen iPod should be no problem. You can pick up location from wifi... all I can think of not being available is the compass...

The latest iPod touch does have a camera. It looks like it was an amateur mistake to not include the iPod touch to me. Just because it doesn't have a GPS chip doesn't mean you can't get your location.

#66Can any experienced iOS developers please tell me if it is really 'that' hard to make an app iPod Touch compatible? I mean, come on, you just alienate a ton of users without implementing iPod or iPad compatibility...
Depends, the 1st generation iPod touch is stuck on 3.1.3 which means you lose out on the newer, much easier to use and less buggy APIs
iOS version and device type are separate when you are releasing an iOS app.

So is the original iPhone which is equivalent. I don't think any dev cares about these anymore.

I created an application password to use for the iPhone app. After I tried to authenticate it told me that I couldn't use application passwords and to use my normal password+token.

I found it on my iPhone by searching for "google social huddle" as that seems to hit the description.

Probably has a hard requirement for GPS for checkins, which the iPod doesn't have.
The iPod does fake it with wifi-based location.
