This could be very useful, but it doesn't install on a 3GS because it requires a gyroscope? Seems a curious requirement given the functionality.

- jgrall 14y agoWe didn't support 3GS because creating 2X the artwork would have been a lot of work for a relatively small % of iPhone users that will soon be upgrading to retina. Consider your comment a +1 for 3GS.
- shaggyfrog 14y agoI also have a 3GS and I find this response a little baffling. It can't be that much work for you to produce non-retina artwork, can it?
- jgrall 14y agoWell we didn't want to do a simple scale-down, so some assets would have to be touched up, and other stuff would need to be remade. We're a small team so we did a cost/benefit and decided to focus on iPhone 4 and above.
- 10dpd 14y agoiOS app dev these days is all about increasing what I like to term the ARPH (average revenue per hour), a function of the revenue generated per hour spent working on the app. The best strategy IMHO is to get something out there ASAP, validate the market, and then expand if the data suggests a viable product that people will pay for.
- jgrall 14y agoOur thoughts exactly.
- moron 14y agoYeah, it's just a button, right?
- shawnc 14y agoIt's not hard at all really, I've done it a few times. Since they've already designed for the Retina, shrinking to the 'old' display is peanuts.
- auston 14y agoI would also like 3GS support...
- jgrall 14y agoWe're going to add 3GS support :)
- pwenzel 14y agoPlease consider me a +1 for 3GS. Looks like a beautiful application.
- antr 14y agoit doesn't work with the iPad (3) either...
- jgrall 14y agoYeah no iPad support yet. For this app to work though you kind of need to have the device with you at all times to not miss the reminders to leave for the airport. For that reason, we thought iPhone was the way to go.
- antr 14y agoalbeit the iPad is not the most "mobile" device, it still is pretty portable, and used by many travel professionals (not the traveler per se). still, looking forward iPad support going forward.
- tomkarlo 14y agoAlso, there are a significant number of people out there with an Android phone plus an iPad.
