KATG iPhone App Take 2

The app in general never seems to cause the 'network activity' indicator in the menu bar to display... 3.0 bug, or choice? That indicator or another spinner somewhere might be nice to have, especially on 3G or edge where it might take a few seconds to go through.

- Similarly a 'feedback sent' confirmation might be a good idea. Twitterific uses a slide in 'feedback sent' label at the top of the screen –*but that might be a lot of effort. I could imagine just putting 'Feedback sent!' message into the main text field as a placeholder and then fading it out after a few seconds again would work.

I'll give this one some thought

- The date formatting in the events section is US-style, so I guess it doesn't use the system setting? Not a biggie, just throwing it out there.

USA!USA!USA!

I'll do something with this when I add localization.

- Playing a past show seems to force me into landscape mode?

It's a bug in MPMoviePlayer. I posted in the devforums but aside from seemingly random errors I can't get it to rotate in to portrait.

- The shadows on the dividers in the twitter section seem a lot bigger than in the events section (might just be me)? Perhaps that could be harmonised. Personally I'd scrap the shadows –*the 3D effect looks "busy". Ditching the shadows will also give you more vertical space in each 'slice' –*more room to play with and perhaps increase font size?

- The alignment of the text & hour / day indicator in the twitter section is a bit off and you're wasting a lot of space on the longer messages.

I've got some stuff in the pipeline to make the Twitter tab look snazzier.

- If you leave the description in settings the way it is at the moment, you're almost certainly going to get rejected. If the reviewer hadn't thought about it before, they will once the see the 'stream over cellular' string.

- If I disable streaming over cellular and then try to play a past show anyway, the app crashes. (Durr, but still might prevent approval)

it ain't done yet (I called it half baked for a reason)

- Had one weird issue with a popup, but this might have been a fluke. Wasn't able to reproduce:

this is a bug in UIAlertSheet, started happening in 3.0 not much I can do about it but it doesn't happen a lot.

Well fuck me, I still cannot get even the latest update installed. Apple needs to get off their ass and approve this thing.

Yeah, I figured as much...
But it's a really solid app otherwise – even streams nicely over edge.
Look forward to checking out the updates, be sure to let us know if there's anything specifically you want checked out or tested.

This is a little better, still have more work to do.

And one more, I'll be tinkering over the weekend and then submitting again on monday.

Tings to test:

Need reports from:
iPhone 2G
iPhone 3G
iPhone 3GSucka
iPod Touch 1G
iPod Touch 2G

Disabled Phone Button on iPod Touch

Disabled Play Show Button when not on wifi

Test with:
Wifi OFF
Settings -> Stream over Cellular Network OFF
This should give you an alert sheet telling you streaming is disabled

Wifi ON
Settings -> Stream over Cellular Network OFF
This should give you an enabled play show button

Wifi OFF
Settings -> Stream over Cellular Network ON
This should give you an enabled play show button

Wifi ON
Settings -> Stream over Cellular Network ON
This should give you an enabled play show button

Disabled play button for On Air tab when not on wifi

Test the same as the past shows tab, but toggle the Live Show switch instead of the past shows switch

iTunesArtwork.png needs to be renamed to iTunesArtwork (i.e. no .png extension)

Sweet! Thanks!

Two more things (they are very anal!):

1) I think it should be Wi-Fi, not Wifi
2) How about changing the first Setings item to be a PSGroupSpecifier rather than a PSTitleValueSpecifier?

Other than that it's aces. I've tested everything on iPhone 3G except Disabled Phone Button on iPod Touch (obviously).

I'm having the same problem. If I try installing with a mac should I be ok? I have a friend with one thatbwouldny mind letting me borrow it for this.
