Pretty slick experience from Mobile Safari!

It is indeed Electron on Linux, but we're not doing anything special to make it more snappy on Linux.

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 part is figuring out what feels right on the wrist, that part I'm still figuring out.

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 idea in the future, are there any good examples that you like?

I get the items using the GeoData extension of the MediaWiki API: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GeoData

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

It's 100% Swift, with some Obj-C libraries.

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 better job with a few more iterations and refinements.

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 good one, I'll look into it. Thanks!

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

Forecast.io, They are awesome!

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 making last year's awesome product look obsolete the next year.

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 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 didn't even have NSAnimation support. However at this time Leopard had just came out and had all the new Core Animation hotness. Needless to say I would have saved countless hours if I didn't try back porting new features to older OSes no longer supported by Apple.

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

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.

I was very worried too, but we had no trouble getting approved.

Yeah we should fix that ...

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?

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 iPhone support.

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.

Yes it is! Chris and I have been working on this for the past few months since that Dribbble post. http://dribbble.com/shots/780188-Morning

The to-do part is pulling them in from iOS' built in Reminders app. That means you don't have to have yet another to-do app and it syncs via iCloud to your Mac and other devices.

The same goes for the events/calendar panel. They are both using Apple's EventKit API.

The news panel supports RSS feeds and Twitter is a possible option in the future, I'll look into doing it.

We are mainly Mac and iOS guys and probably wouldn't be able to do an Android tablet version as well, since we don't use the platform. And yeah, making the iOS version was enough work as is.

Sure I'll add it to the list.
