new topo app for Rubicon
June 06, 2011, 12:13:48 pm
a little bit pre-emptive but I'm a wee bit excited as I've just finished my latest topo-app for the sport and bouldering at Rubicon :bounce:

I chose Rubicon as it's one of my favourite crags and it was a good test for more functionality than the previous Bowderstone and Minus10 apps. I've just sent it off to the App Store for approval so should be ready for download in 7-10 days time (which gives me a few days to sort the android version)...

more soon  ;D

 :lol: mostly? I'll have to take a look once it's out (today?) but in the interests of a healthy debate  :boxing: it would be good to have a few discrepancies ?

As long as you've done all the problems, otherwise you're not allowed an opinion on the grade!

woo hoo! it's through approvals and is now on the app store, you can download it by searching for 'wcj' or 'rubicon' and I've put some info on the site at http://thesend.co.uk/apps/rubicon.php with a brief write-up and description of the app.

I've made up a nice app-icon of me on Kudos


and put together some screen grabs so peeps can see what's in there


any comments on grades and descriptions would be great  :worms: - there's a feedback link in the app or via the site so that I can collate them more easily :kiss2: and feed it back into the next update, and any feedback on the app itself would be gratefully received so I can make the next one better again.

Its great - nice and easy to use. One comment/update, you have topo/routes buttons - which is a bit confusing, as routes really means description...

thanks TT, I used icons for these on the last two, maybe I'll change these back to icons or use topo/list

It's steep-ish, the language itself is OK and if you code already then the main difficulty is figuring out which 'thing' (object/framework/library) does what you want it to do; having said that the documentation is superb, there's plenty of code samples on the apple dev site and some good books to steer you through the initial stages. PM me if you wanted more info.

Excellent app. Thanks!  :thumbsup:

agree with TT though maybe Topo | Routes button should read Topo | Desc. ?
