BBC News Mobile v4.0.1.2 (Windows Phone 8) Beta
Hi All,
Think this is very nearly there, if you see anything that you don’t like/is a bug/shouldn’t happen let me know! Looking to publish in the next couple of days.
What’s Changed:
- Voice. I made it chatty - say “BBC News read top news” and it will.
Fixes:
- Settings page failed to save - Fixed - Thanks @ mrlacey
- NEW - Settings page font size setting @mrlacey
- Live tile update issue - Fixed - Meee
- NEW - livetile text wrapping issue thanks Mark Osborn & Jay bennett
- NEW - offline run crash thanks Jay bennett
- Also thanks to Mark Osborn and Ed Harrison for their feedback
What’s Missing:
I plan to get most of these features back in the app, I’d really appreciate your help in prioritising.
- NEXT RELEASE - Offline reading mode
- DONE - “Next story” button when reading story (first on my hit list)
- DONE - Share story
- NEXT RELEASE - Secondary live tiles for sections
Known issues:
- DONE - Icons, when static, are defaults
- DONE - No Welcome experience. User must use app bar to access settings & sections to setup live tiles, lockscreen and select feeds.
- STAYING - Wide livetile contains full string date, this is just to help debug
- TESTED - Suspend behaviour is untested.
- STILL FORGOTTEN - Lots I’ve forgotten
