Cube Apps for Smart Phones

So I sent him an email last night, please let me know what you think of these suggestions.

Very good suggestions. Definitely want WCA official length scrambles. This is probably a simple but very necessary change. Replacing the timer help message is also a great idea. I'd rather not have to leave the timing screen to see my current average.

I like the graphics. I think the user interface is simple and nice. I like that it keeps track of all of your times and shows averages and lifetime bests. I also like that the times can be exported to a .csv file.

I also like to see others using Android.

2x2 should be RFU only.

Just an update to the SpeedCubeTimer app on Android:

The developer released an update and it looks like they took a lot of your suggestions, ChrisBird.

• They removed the permutations per puzzle and replaced it with a world record avg.
• On the timing screen, they added some avg information instead of just the text that explained how to start/stop the timer.
• They also increased the scramble lengths

However, they did keep the Super Square-1.

Wow, I'm surprised he never responded to my email, but ended up taking some of the suggestions.

Well... I'm glad he took some of your suggestions and I'm glad you took the time to write. The app is better for it.

Another update back on July 10th. Super Square-1 was dropped from the list of puzzles. Instead, Pyraminx was added.

Couldn't you make something for Nokia? Symbian?

Chris, don't just think of yourself as a developer, but as the #1 target user, "user zero." What unmet need do you wish was met by software that doesn't currently exist? By selecting and developing a project in this way, you know first hand whether it's good or sucks, without checking with others or requiring their sanction. And you're not an alien...if you have a need, so do lots of other users. Asking everyone else what to develop, well...you might as well develop non-cubing software because you're not really thinking about user zero. Just my thoughts...take em or leave em...
