How are they right? I really want to understand your point of view.
Do you mean they are not right because the app does not save a screen from anything? What if you are using your iPhone to project something on an plasma screen where a screen saver can save a screen from "burn ins".
I am really interested in your thoughts.
- spoonmonkeyuk 14y agoThe app cannot function as you'd expect a screen saver to do: it won't start running after a period of inactivity. That is outside the scope of functionality available to apps. As such, yeah the name is a little misleading.
- sanxiyn 14y agoUnited States of America is a misleading name. It is not united. My point is that XScreenSaver is a proper name, and by now should be considered to have earned its name.
- king_magic 14y agoLast time I checked, I lived in a country composed of 50 states, united into one nation. iOS does not support screensavers. The app's name is misleading. It seems pretty cut and dry to me.
- LinaLauneBaer 14y agoHm. But you can still use it for the purpose screen savers were originally designed to do: save screens from getting burn ins. But agreed: it can't run automatically after a period of inactivity. Off topic: As a child I loved to look at screen savers that I manually started for hours wondering how they work and how long it took to build them...
