So I made an application...

[Keith B]

Ooo I like updates! Thanks! I appreciate all of our input you're taking in. Some of the ideas are a bit vague though. I haven't done anything with the urticating bristles line for example. We know very little about what type many tarantulas have, and I definitely am not going to get haired by all my specimens to guage itchyness lol. Having the line is harmless though. I just get worried about it going from streamlined to cluttered if too many lines show up for things we're not sure what to enter. That said, on the previous suggestion I think that the current setup you have for pre molt is perfect. Any guesses to when it starts is speculation and not hard data, and if the T buries itself the owner will never know anyway.

I think what would be more useful is adding the same reminder system you have for feeding, for water dish maintanence. As collection numbers climb I'm noticing that it gets harder to keep track of who's dish was just topped off recently as opposed to thoroughly cleaned. I've been using your app since it's come out and this is all I would add. I think it's perfect. Thank you for all your wonderful work If I see anything else I would need as I progress into new challenges I'll be sure to ask.

Any chance for an iPhone AppStore port?

Start a kick starter campaign for funds if you must, I will contribute and spread the word heavily next month at SD reptile suoershow!

Thanks Keith!
Yeah, I haven't used the U-bristle field myself.

I'm working on adding some options to hide 'T Group', 'Received From', 'Longevity' and 'U-Bristle', and also if/when added, option to hide 'Water Maintenance' and 'Pre-molt date'.

Any chance for an iPhone AppStore port?

I can't guarantee that there will be a version for iOS.
Maybe if some other programmer can start making it, then I'd be glad to help.

You so rock

Wow this is amazing... I will test it out a bit later today

 

[tweakz]

I will love you forever if you end up with an iOS version, iTarantula sucks.

It was okay when it released, but the developer seemed to just bail on it. It's very basic, and therefore sucks lol.. Thanks tisha! Super excited to try the new features

I still have no plans to start development for iOS... sorry... ray:

I haven't tried that app but I checked and seems that it focuses more on information about each species.

 

[Keith B]

I bailed on iOS. Android ftw! Yeah the developer of itarantula posted on here back when it was created, but just bailed on it shortly after. The platform was a very good start. Had a nice database of info he had gathered for many kinds of Ts, and your basic care tabs for your collection. There was much room for improvement oibviously since it was a new app, and he bailed. It's still virtually the same as it was on launch day. Even worse it cost money, at least at that time. The develpoer just money-grabbed his customers.

 

[xirxes]

IOS or bust!

Seriously though I have no doubt I can get a few grand for any willing and capable programmer through crowd funding.

Love the app & have it on a couple devices (Galaxy S4 & Kindle Fire) but I have found one device where it's only half usable. Samsung's Galaxy Tab S has changed the standard button layout. Where most Android devices have Back & Menu as soft keys, the Galaxy Tab S has Back & Recent Apps as soft keys, there is no menu key anywhere on the device. So, while all the app's onscreen functions still work great, there is no access to any of the menu-only functions (backup/restore, feed history, duplicate T, etc.). Would it be possible to add a menu button onscreen somewhere? I know screen space on phones is lacking so it's totally understandable if there's no room for one.

Just downloaded this, initially it seems like a 5/5!

Is there any way to set the feeding schedule to a calendar instead of every____ days? That way my T maintenance falls on the same days and makes it easy. Also, is there an option to set how many of each feeder is being given?

Bad Samsung!
I'll look into this this weekend.

I'm not sure about the calendar assignment if the app can still be adjusted since it will be a big change to the existing feature.
With regards to number of feeders, I just add it like "cricket (2)" or "lats (3)".

Edit: I'm not sure if this will work, assigning feed date like "feed every 15th of the month". I don't know if this is what you were thinking.

That is what I was thinking. It's still an awesome app either way and I've already put my Ts into it!
