First, let me say I'm very happy with your hard work so far. My previous post might have seemed a little harsh, which isn't my intention. If anything I feel it's great that we now have some competition in the Squeezebox-remote community, when it comes to iPad remotes. The community will only benefit from the competition iPeng HD is getting, which will hopefully give us the best app possible to use as a remote, whether that will be SqueezePad or iPeng HD when it's finally released.

It is very functional indeed, everything can be found by following the menu's. But the white textboxes and the font's are somewhat old-fashionate. I'm no graphics expert myself, but perhaps there is someone here who can help in that area? I'll see if I can give you a few examples that could provide you with inspiration. In the mean-time, there are plenty of ideas already posted in the "what should iPeng for iPad look like?-topic". bluegaspode;569496 Wrote: > Comparison between iPeng and Squeezepad Although I'm comparing it to iPeng lots of times too, especially in regards to look and feel, I respect your choice to follow your own design route and leave iPeng as it is. After all, we're talking about an iPad app, that offers a whole new set of possibilities due to the large screen. bluegaspode;569496 Wrote: > I think its a lot to do with what you are used to. > My wife complains about iPeng alot - to much swiping and screens there > for her.

You're right in saying it has something to do with what you are used to. iPeng felt kind of frustrating in the beginning. But now that I know how it works, I'm delighted, as is my girlfriend. Considering the small screen you have to work with, the current solution is one of the best solutions possible if you need to scroll through large libraries. But of course this applies for iPhone. On an iPad you have a much larger screen to your avail, being able to present a hell of a lot more information on the same screen. At the same time, it's questionable if you would want all that information presented to you all the time... bluegaspode;569496 Wrote: > Are there other areas which you consider 'unintuitive' ?

I'll admit right away that I've played with it for too short up to now to assess the full potential of this app, but it appeared to me the screen is rather static. For instance, if you don't need the menu, it can't be hidden, or parts of it. -- hvb83 SB Receiver, Marantz SR5004, Harman Kardon HKTS11 SB Radio SB Server 7.5.1 running on a Synology DS210+ NAS iPhone running iPeng 1.2.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hvb83's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39615 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80553 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
