Next, stocks app gives no indication of time of change... 1 day?
Great idea, had high hopes but so far, not quite there
This looks pretty sweet! Just one question: Was there any particular reason for the limiting of color schemes? Why not just show the user a color wheel and let them choose whatever they want?
No particular reason. Mostly just time, I want to get a color picker like that in there someday.
"Downloading" is a fairly specific verb that generally doesn't involve money, which is why it feels so jarring when I see it used in relation to making a purchase.
Does anyone else feel as though "purchase" would be a more appropriate verb for their copy?
"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?
Developers writing new apps see two things: - High adoption rate of iOS6 - Cool iOS6 APIs (Autolayout, UIKit attributed text, indexed subscripting, etc) and they decide to write for iOS6 only. They could support iOS 5, but the work is not worth the reward with the adoption rate of iOS6 being as high as it is. For developers with existing customers, it is a different story.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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 versions. I've spent many hours on other applications, mostly Mac, where the time spent making something backwards compatible was never really worth it. Example: I worked on getting fancy animations in an app that had to support Panther, which di…
Thanks for the answer - I fully appreciate what you say. I'm just a bitter iPad1 owner whose £400 toy became obsolete barely a year after purchase. It's a shame there isn't a native equivalent of progressive enhancement.
Traffic doesn't seem to be enabled for me. It's very sparse on information. I'd like to be able to configure other "feeds"
Hi - would be useful if I could have two instance of the weather app and be able to specify locations. Add to that a tile with flight status - ideally tied in to flightstats/flightaware/triptracker, or even better, my airlines based on frequent flyer logins
The flight tracker idea is a good one, I'll look into it. Thanks!
Initial comments...I'd like to be able to add the weather app twice, and specify locations not just 'my location' (I commute NY/Chicago Next, stocks app gives no indication of time of change... 1 day? Great idea, had high hopes but so far, not quite there
Sorry that it's not there yet, but hopefully we'll do a better job with a few more iterations and refinements.
