Update on iOS requirements for LapTimer v17.5
I'm nearly finished with the iOS7 port... This has been quite a big investment (3 weeks full time work), I'm curious how many apps will be fully updated to iOS7 look & feel... Porting LapTimer over to iOS7 has been comparable tough because all front ends needed to be redesigned and realigned. It is not my style to keep old paradigms when a new one is around, so this port is creates a really different user experience. Furthermore I completed the skinning so all views are available in black on white (the new default) and white on black (for night drives).
The good news for iPhone3GS owners is, LapTimer v17.5 will keep full iOS6 support (and actually look mostly like the old version). So this is a correction to my former post in this thread. One thing I will drop for iOS6 users is text 2 speech as I have removed the external English library and switched to the iOS7 multi language interface (much much much better). This in turn will make the app a lot smaller - although size increases due to double artwork for iOS6 and iOS7.
Thought that might be interesting for you, stay tuned.
