As long as I'm being mildly nitpicky, is it just me or is the Big Finish logo not centered horizontally in the app icon? Also, in the chapter list, if a chapter is less than 10 minutes long the length shows up as, for example "0:9" instead of "0:09".

You're right about the chapter length. I just fixed that. Thanks!

Another wish..... Would be great if the lists stay in the same position if you flip from device to cloud and then back again. I seem to have done that a lot this weekend seeing what I had and hadn't downloaded. :-) (yes I spent my weekend enjoy big finish via the app!!) Right now it seems if I leave the cloud on the third item, the device list begins on the third item, etc. Behind the scenes, they're using the same UITalbeView and the content only changes. That is why it does this. For the heck of it, I just tried making it remember the position between switching. A lot easier than I expected. Took about 1 minute to implement. I'll have it in version 2.0.3 for sure.

I'd honestly like there to be a preference on the way your collection is displayed. I prefer things in release order and it is just a bit odd changing it every time I open the app

Hackmodford -- I see the new release is out! Thanks for the fixes and tweaks. Looks good on the AppleTv and loving the articles being removed from the sort.
Have you thought of a good way to deal with the super long titles yet?
Also if you are on Wireless and walk out of your house swapping to cellular, should the downloading of audios pause?

Have you thought of a good way to deal with the super long titles yet? Also if you are on Wireless and walk out of your house swapping to cellular, should the downloading of audios pause? I experimented with making the titles auto-scroll like they do on the player view. Even though they only animated them when the scrolling was stopped, it made the list animations choppy. Regarding wireless: I think it's an argument with valid points on both sides. If the app were to automatically start downloads I think I would make it work that way. But because a user is consciously making the decision to download a title, I figured it would be best to leave it alone. Also, I did manage to get the list to remember the position in this release

I convinced them! Version 2.0.3 will remember the sort options between app launches

Loving the quick turnaround for bug fixes/feature requests.... Is there a plan to at some point let us get to extras like subscriber short trips and extended interviews?

Unfortunately, the API doesn't provide me with that information. I believe it would take a considerable amount of effort to get the extras to download.

I'm not a fan of resizing text. I just looked at the Music app to see how Apple handles this. It looks like they simply wrap the text to a new line. That should be doable.

Sounds great. I don't think resizing text would be good. But it sounds like wrapping would be great. Several of those links suggest that in addition to wrapping you have to tell the cells to change height along with it so the text doesn't roll off the bottom.

I've already got some room to wrap lines. After fiddling around with the layout a bit, I came up with this. What do you think? I'm not sure if it looks quite right...

I think it works spectacular as far as showing long titles :-). The only two things that look "off" but which I am happy to live with is the wrapped ones start at the top of the cell and the non wrapped ones have blank space at top of cell. And then the cast names are truncated (...) not that that is important to me. May be to others. I need to look through my library and try to find the absolute longest title :-)

I think the longest title I have is Bernice Summerfield and the Criminal Code

I think I managed to fix what was making it look weird to me. The reason it's doing what you said is because it tries to center the cast list. If it cannot do that (because of the title getting a second line), it gets shifted down. That's how Apple handles it. I figure it's usually better/safer to follow their lead....

Cool beans. Can't wait for this change to roll to the App Store :-)

I think at that point the app will be ready for BF to make a big announcement about it. There are other things that could be added but it is solid now.

Firstly I have to say that this app is really shaping up to be the one that BF deserve & needed, you are very clever people and deserve much praise.
I did have a little look once first released but today is the first proper play I have had, and it's brilliant.
From the lovely landscape layout on the iPad to the splitting up into parts, extras, music & trailers, which has been needed since day one, I wish the cd,s & downloads had always followed this format.
No major gripes at all, but a couple of little things
It would be good to get the subscriber extended extras, at some point in the future On the device tab could you have the size of the file (like it is on the cloud tab) making it easier to decide what to delete to free up the pityful storage on out iPhones/pods/pads Could you add a volume slider as I don't have the annoying control centre menu actived and the volume buttons are not always easy to use (when in landscape on a stand)
But it really is a fantastic app, a huge thank you and round of applause to all involved
