  • Swift for iPhone – Submitted to the App Store

    Originally scheduled for release back in April this year, we’ve finally got word that Swift for iPhone was submitted to the AppStore on Friday 4 June. In case you’re unaware, Swift is an upcoming twitter client that promises to bring a new level of design to the rather crowded twitter client market.

    Details are still a little sketchy and there is no sign of what the app icon looks like. But from the few images that the developers have shared over on their tumbler blog it looks pretty good.

    Here’s the compete blog post listing some the features you can expect in the first release, as well as some hints at what future updates will bring to the table.

    As the app is basically ready for submission i thought i’d make a wee blog post (blame @NateBoat) about what you can expect from Swift 1.0.

    Bear in mind there are more features such as Downloadable Themes, Translation, @Gowalla, FourSquare, Venue, Archives, and @Facebook scheduled for later releases.

    The thought put into the entire application is stunning, and I commend Robocat for such a great app. It has a great, persistent UI with a cute new way to look at the weather, the push notifications are useful and custom, it’s extremely reliable, and I just love it to pieces. To quote the AppStore description: “Outside is a visual weather forecast with custom push notification like you’ve never seen before.”

    ✔ Multiple Locations! Manage your locations and where you get your notifications from in the new pull down Locations menu on the Home screen.

    ✔ When temperature is above 68ºF or 20ºC in Current Weather Condition the coffee cup changes to a Glass of Lemonade. 😉

    ✔ Sleep mode disabled and Outside now auto updates weather every hour if left on. (For your dock viewing pleasure)

    ✔ Notification icon clock hands now shows actual time.

    ✔ Interface & Icon received minor touchups.
