IOS 11 notes

Any issues or surprises or even if something is better or you have found something useful.
Not just Beatmaker specific either, this is just general.

WIFI has changed, it is a little pickier connecting to hotspots on the BTWIFI openzone in the UK.

Comments

  • Has anyone tried the new usb iOS midi feature in Audio MIDI Setup? Or is that a feature of High Sierra??
  • Ok this is strange and worrying, some apps are not showing in the double home screen.
    The login screen for BTWIFI for example, this is very very worrying, how many other things are going to continue in the background invisibly !!

  • Keep the report going @5pinlink - living on the edge!
  • It works quite well to be honest, but they obviously have some kind of charity thing going at Apple where they hire alcoholics to design their latest UIs, even if you like them they are a complete mess, Reminds me of Reaper and its magic 10 pixels missing here, 40 pixels missing there.

    I have to agree - the new Apple UI is complete over kill in some ways. Personally, I really think Apple need to start thinking in terms of information diets. So much unnecessary noise. The app view with the controls to the right? Eye puke. I honestly do need minimalism in an environment (sensory difficulties)... could be one of the biggest challenges I face with BM3, I need isolated but detailed single page views rather than cramtastic multi path touch hop jockey. I found myself with the same difficulties with AppBc studiomux, modstep etc. Screenshots of your favourite iOS 11 flaws?

    My favourite flaws are what you just nailed to be honest, crammed crapola, double click home and all this crap is there (didnt have chance to see if it can be removed) double click home is to close an app in my world, i rarely run more than one app at a time on IOS MacOS or Windows, and hey surprise, i get about two crashes a year haha

    As for UI flaws, they are everywhere, text at the wrong height and width within Apple apps, some borders not aligned, maybe it is a new non uniform style that is hip and groovy and i'm an old fart who doesn't get it, who knows, hip kids like glitch and grime music, so it is definitely possible lol

  • Where’s the file system access? I mean even limited, I’m not talking root. Just enough to put an end to the feeling like I have one arm tied behind my back. I saw that folder in the task bar and I almost crapped myself. No luck it would have been for nothing lol

  • File system access will only come as and when apps support it, and i doubt you will be getting full system explore like desktop.

    Intua could easily move user libraries outside their native browser, but most apps will be picky as **** about letting you access the library elsewhere.

    I actually can’t even find an ‘open in’ in the files app, so save a file from BM to iCloud, there is no open in command directly in the files app, opening from iCloud in BM browser still just puts the file in imports, so it’s safe to assume files is useless unless fully supported by all apps.

  • Just bricked my 7plus 2min ago. Playing in dark mode and it just froze the screen. Not happy.

  • Can anyone comment on the iOS performance on iPad Air 1?
    Thanks!

    Saw mention of 'drag and drop' between apps being an ios 11 feature.. Don't suppose Apple have made it possible for devs to drag audio between apps/Auv3?

    Would be killer (or at least *vaguely indicative of the year we're in* ;) to be able to drag/copy audio to/from a BM3 pad to Idensity Auv3, for example...
  • Yes you can drag n drop app to app if they support it, go look for Mixvibes cross to remixlive video.

  • How the hell do apple get away with their nonsense ?
    In the App Store BeatMaker 3 was in the top 100 paid music apps yesterday, today it is not even listed.
    Do the randomly do this to all developers ?

  • edited September 2017

    Seems they do lol, there is so much stuff missing from the paid music apps “see all” list WTF ?
    And the list changes randomly, Caustic could not be found, restart App Store, Caustic is number 10?
    Are we supposed to take these money slurping idiots seriously ?

  • It drains the battery way faster...alot of things have to be turned off to "not" run your battery down in 3 hours.

  • Note that IOS is a bullshit artist, always turn things off in settings, all that control centre junk is nonsense, so unless it is off in settings it could be on and draining resources.

  • No my point is, you cant have a "Top paid" list that lists all paid apps in that category by popularity, if it is lying, which it seems it is.
    That is very very close to fraud !!!

  • I treat this with a pinch of salt, but it can be interesting at times...

  • Yeah but not listed at all to top ten for Caustic in ten seconds flat lol

  • Dang, ios 11 ugly.. Is it meant to be ironic? Looks like word documents from 1998.
