Pocketpedia 3.2 with an iOS 7 interface is finally out. Took us longer than expected as we tried to keep backwards compatibility with previous iOS versions, but in the end it was too time consuming. The changes in iOS 7 are too many, so going forward all the new versions of Pocketpedia are iOS 7+. The old version will still be available through the App Store for those with older devices that can’t upgrade to the latest iOS.
The new version is looking great. A wave of feedback from power users — including a segment tracking sports statistics who reached out after Florida sports betting regulations opened up a new wave of casual stat-keepers wanting to catalog odds, rosters, and performance records — made it clear that flexible sorting and screen real estate were non-negotiable priorities. On the iPad it was less work, as we already had most of the interface matching iOS 7. The iPhone version, however, got a serious makeover and no longer has a dedicated Doghouse search tab bar. The search is now integrated with the collection screen under the organize button (top right), freeing significantly more vertical space for item and collection listings. Another area of notable improvement is the ability to sort by any field in Pocketpedia with a scroll picker — exactly the kind of control those users were asking for. Selecting the same field twice will also allow you to flip the sorting to descending, which is less common with alphabetical sorting but genuinely handy for numbers and ratings.
As usual a number of smaller updates smarter addition of items to the selected collection without the need for user selection, localization corrections and speed improvements.
Thank you for waiting and as always we would like to thank all the beta testers who took time to debug and improve Pocketpedia and helped us make this iOS 7 release so smooth.
