YoWindow Forum

First impressions: after cancelling the services for "where you are" (sorry i don't know the exact phrase for it. edit: "location-services") it takes quite a while i stared at the starting screen when i switched to the settings of the iPod and switched the services on. Then switched to YoWindow again and now i can select a city (which id id).

It's fun to discover the way to handle YoWindow!

That's it for now. Detailed tests will follow!

Thanks to Pavel and the whole team - first impressions are awesome!

Some Screenshots:

That is a very important observation.
Thank you, Reinhart!
I'm going to fix it in the next build.

That is why we are doing beta-testing.
Otherwise we would probably miss this serious flaw.

Godd job!

Pasha,

Did you include the fix in build 3? I'm still seeing a problem when starting up for the first time after installation: if the location services are off, then the app hangs at the white screen "YoWindow3. Weather with magic." Going to Settings and turning location services on does not help -- I still have to kill the app and start it over (then it proceeds after the white screen, and asks if I want to use the location services for this app).

Max, you must have found an elusive problem.
I cannot reproduce it on my iPhone 4 (iOS 6.0.1 obviously)

I tend to think that I have included the fix in build 3, though I'm not 100% sure.
Probably it makes sense to try again on the next build.

[UPDATE]
I have modified the code that handles auto-detection on first start.
Probably in the next build you will not see the hangup.

When I run YoWindow (first time, Location services off) I see the list of countries.

Reinhart, can you check this case again?
Will YoWindow hang if Location Services are off the first time you start it?

I have modified the post subject to reflect the content.

OK, I'll test this again on the next build and will let you know what I get.

I have checked this again - YoWindow does not hang anymore

First i switched off location-services completely.
Then i removed YoWindow 0.0.3 from my iPod (long tap on the icon, tapped on the grey "x" and removed all data).
The i re-installed it from the mail you've sent to the beta-testers.
After first start i saw the list of countries and after selecting Austria/Vienna YoWindow shows me the current weather (after the loading screen).
Everything didnt last more than a few seconds.

Edit: it didn't ask if i want to use location-services (if that's important)

Seems to be fixed - at least for me, so:

Just if you've missed my "edit" in my post above:

Hi, Reinhart!

Thank you, this is how it is supposed to work.
Looks like there's something special in Max'es configuration.

Tested build 4 on iPad -- still reproducible:

Could the iOS version play the role here? My iPad 2 is running iOS 5.1.1.
