Opening Hours UX

Version History

Version 1.5.1

September 2019

  • Adds the store comment to the info popup window in the main view.
  • Supports iOS 10.3 or later.

Version 1.5

August 2019

  • Fixes formatting issues on iPhones X and later, using safe area layout guides to constrain margins.
  • Updates the help info view which is now a visual effects view, i.e. a blurred view.
  • Updates some alert message, using shorter titles where necessary.
  • Removes several third-party frameworks, incl. Dropbox. The original API is no longer supported by Dropbox, rendering it useless. Low usage of this feature does not warrant an attempt to migrate to the new API.
  • Fixes crashes that have been reported.
  • Supports iOS 9 or later.
  • Disables guesture that would open the split view controller upon a swipe as it conflicts with the user trying to swipe the main view area.
  • Adds a 167 x 167 icon for iPad Pro.
  • Uses UIAlertController instead of deprecated UIAlertView and UIActionSheet, UISearchController instead of UISearchDisplayController, UIPopoverPresentationViewController instead of UIPopoverController.
  • Corrects an undo manager grouping imbalance, which also caused a crash.
  • Avoids accessing UIView properties outside of the main thread. This also would crash the app.
  • Fixes a popover rotation issue.
  • Removes obsolete pre-iOS-9 code.

  • Added a (circular) button to show only open stores. When active, the button changes to show an arrow in the circle.
  • Added a (star-shaped) button to show only favorite stores. When active, the button shows a filled-in star.
  • Added a menu item to show the help screen for the main view.
  • Changed the startup image and added an animation to transition from the startup image to the first screeen.
