Tips for iphone Devs

1. If I’m not able to resume my game after getting a call or text… DON’T PUT THAT SHIT IN THE APPSTORE! Why should I pay for a game that I have to start over every time I have to deal with the real world??

2. Please beta test your apps… Just go to any forum and look for people that seem reputable and ask if they will try your game or app out. I love beta testing and am willing to help however I can. Bug filled apps are not ok.

3. Don’t bitch about the appstore economy and how you can’t sell your app for 5 dollars. Make a game/app with as high a quality as you possibly can and charge whatever you please. If the quality is there then the price won’t matter (just look at BeeJive)

4. Let me see my battery life or GTFO! This goes doubly when you are talking about games that involve the accelerometer or gps, they burn a lot or power and I need to be aware of my battery life. I can’t risk burning through my battery if I am going to be out all day

5. Let me choose how I want to hold my device!
In the counter clockwise landscape view:
- the volume button is facing down
- the volume button is flipped. pressing it left makes volume go up, pressing right makes it go down
- the speaker is covered by my right hand
- the headphone jack is covered by my left hand

In the clockwise landscape view:
- the volume button is on top of the device easily in reach
- the volume button is orientated correctly. pressing it left makes the volume go down, pressing right makes it go up
- the speaker is above my hand and uncovered
- the headphone jack is uncovered incase I want to play with my headphones in.

I prefer clockwise and it annoys me to no end that devs are refusing to put in the work to allow me to play their game COMFORTABLY
