The iPad as a Peripheral Display
Calendar16 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 19:47:30 UTC +00:00
I was thrilled to hear that current apps will be compatible with the iPad, but I’m more excited for apps that haven’t been written yet. Apps for the iPhone and iPod touch are designed for use while being held. There’s an exciting new use case that comes with the iPad — when it’s sitting in the dock. Owners not only have a new device to read news while on the couch, but they also have the perfect peripheral display. What’s a peripheral display? Something that provides basic information without distracting you from your primary task. It runs silently in the background and it’s there when you need to retrieve some glanceable information. You already use plenty of them every day: clocks, stock tickers, weather icons, unread email icons, etc. I currently use one app on my iPhone as a peripheral display: Flip Clock. I think we are soon going to see Read More

Reviews

Nice App
Cocosky 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
Really nice clock. Well design. Problem is the battery usage. Fully charged iPhone at 7AM. All of the following apply from 7AM to 3PM. No 3G, Bluetooth off, Location Services off, Fetch new data off, not a single phone call or SMS. Not running any games or anything. Just left it on my desk. Had the Flip Clock on at 9AM, iphone complaint about battery down to 20% at 3pm. Unless you plan on a 6-7 hr sleep, don't plan on using Flip Clock alone your bedside, battery will drain out. I don't know if the developer can do anything about it, could be just how Apple design the iphone. It just wan't design for you to leave an app open for over 10+ hours. So if you plan on using it to replace your counter clock on a trip, don't count on it.
Best clock!
JoRo3 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
This is an app I have been looking for, for a long time. Excellent quality. Sure an alarm feature and dimmer controls would be nice, but I didn't get it for those reasons. Sweet app!
pretty close to what's needed
ggggman 3.0 stars Version: 1.0
Seems to work okay but only in landscape mode. A strong point over other clock apps is that the display is persistent. Note to developer -- what is the little "i" icon for? I tap it but nothing comes up. It would be nice if there were some options such as variable screen brightness, AM/PM display. Also, given the persistent display, what is the typical battery usage?
Cool, but...
Daniel Staten 3.0 stars Version: 1.0
This is a great app, but there is one thing it needs to do: rotate in both modes. I should be able to see it portrait and landscape. Other than that, I love it and it gives me more utility for my iPhone.
No alarm?
MacKenzie999 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
Good start but feels unfinished. No alarm is a glaring omission in a clock app. What about music alarm, web radio alarm, etc? Dimmer or eventual fade to black would be nice too. Vertical orientation (for when docked) would also be a welcome feature.
Very good, but would love more
nyc_arts 3.0 stars Version: 1.0
The clock is very sharp and clean, but I will not use it at night because it's so bright. A dimmer would be the perfect addition to this app. Also, having the clock face the correct way when upright would be icing on the cake.
Just short of perfect
Deuce911 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
If this had a DIM feature it would be perfect.
Great look
benderrodrigez 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
Its great especially when you work or study and need to see the time. Alarm needed
Info Icon
piethout 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
You gotta make that info icon on the bottom right way darker or have it fad out when there hasn't been any touches for a few seconds and fade back in when the phone is touched again. Also i think there should be an option to hide the am/pm. Who needs it. Its taking away from the beauty of this thing. Other than that its beautiful. I have a case for my phone so that i can velcro it to my scooter and get driving directions, im gonna velcro this to my wall now too as a clock during the day. Perfect. Fix the 2 things above and ill give you 5 stars! Wouldn't hurt to have a vertical mode as well for dock charging... Maybe the numbers are just smaller near the top of the screen and the rest is blank black as you have it now.
Slick app, couple flaws
Futonmike 4.0 stars Version: 1.0
Very nice flip clock animation. This is the only clock application I have seen yet that gives you the option to hide the system status bar for a very clean display, it also stays open without having to modify your system settings. However, the clock only orients horizontally, meaning that when your phone is in the dock the clock will always be sideways. If the developer can scale the graphic back a bit for viewing in vertical orientation this will probably become my full time bedroom clock application as I am quite partial to flip clocks. Night time dimming would be a big plus as well.
Nice
FalconXY 5.0 stars Version: 1.0
Works good, and looks great.
Photo Flip Clock
locklin 2.0 stars Version: 1.0
Really nice application, I'm giving it two stars for not making Photo Flip Clock an update of this app. I did buy this one and I don't think I should buy a second app from the same developer which does exactly the same but with custom photos.
Lousy Animation & Sound
macuaig 1.0 stars Version: 1.03
That's right. Must be shills reviewing here. The flip is in slow motion and the sound happens too late. Also no peripheral functions such as alarm, colors, etc. This is one to skip.
0952?
00110 5.0 stars Version: 1.03
Yes, that's exactly how 9:52 p.m. shows up. Awkward no? Just installed the new update and it seems like an unnecessary thing to do, adding an extra digit. The "flip" sound is the only nice addition. Gave it a 3 for the graphical change.
FORGET THE REST - THIS "FLIP CLOCK" APP IS THE BEST :)
Daisy Jane (DJ) 5.0 stars Version: 1.03
Ive tried quite a few flip clock apps - This one is EXACTLY like the retro clock I had in the 70's - Pure and simple AND now has click sound too! Thanks for a great app :)
A simply great application
trcres 5.0 stars Version: 1.02
My first attraction was that I grew up with a flip clock. Beyond that, this app is very well executed. I've downloaded a few other clock apps, but this is the one I always come back to for its ease of use, good looks and practicality.
dimmer works but...
macjoga 4.0 stars Version: 1.02
I'm loving this app but the dimmer doesn't dim the "black" areas around the numbers enough. So in a totally dark room, the "black" areas are actually quite bright. I have to dim the display in the "settings" tab but that doesn't make the black any blacker, just not as bright...hard to explain. And the kicker is, with all the dimming going on, when you wake up in a sun drenched room, you can't see the display! The apps dimmer should be able to brighten as the room gets brighter.
Brightness slider locks in full position
BarrySullens 3.0 stars Version: 1.02
Upon updating, screen was completely dimmed. Once I moved the slider on the brightness control to full, it will not move anymore. Now, the brightness is stuck in the full position, and I cannot dim the display. I think the upgrade needs some work. Other than that, I love it. I use this app exclusively as my bedside clock. It reminds me of the clock we used to have on top of the TV when I was a kid. With the Flip Clock displaying on my night stand, a relaxation playlist on the iPhone's built-in iPod puts me to sleep, and the built-in iPhone alarm clock wakes me (different schedule each DOW). Quite a nice combination. Just fix the problem with the brighness slider. Please.
BEAUTIFUL Clock - where's alarm?
Frank:Black 4.0 stars Version: 1.02
Appreciate the dev finally adding dimming - and I look forward to seeing the alarm everyone is asking for!!!
Great until this release
shaug 3.0 stars Version: 1.02
The new release introduced a brightness control. Unfortunately, it starts out on the lowest brightness, so when you start the clock, the numbers aren't visible and it looks like it's broken. Thankfully, they fixed the responsiveness of the 'info' button, but it also disappears at the lowest brightness. If you press it where it should be, you'll get the settings screen, and you'll be able to increase the brightness. Unfortunately, the brightness slider doesn't seem to let me reduce the brightness; only increase it. So now my flip clock is back at the highest brightness, with no way to lower it, which is essentially where I was before the update.
no longer works
this nickname is taken... 1.0 stars Version: 1.02
Reported this problem almost a day ago, but no response, so I'm posting here. I downloaded the latest version (released 12/17) and now instead of the flip clock, which worked perfectly fine before the update, I get nothing but the "black" background squares. No numbers, no info button. Just a big black screen. Please fix ASAP, particularly given that this is a paid app. It's not expensive, but I don't like paying even one penny for something that doesn't actually work.
worked great...
lorem_ipsum 3.0 stars Version: 1.02
until the recent update. now it is mostly (and hopefully temporarily) useless.
Could be better
texasflyboy 2.0 stars Version: 1.01
The animation is pretty bad, it doesn't flip quickly like the real thing, it just animates a flip like turning a page in an ebook. Plus, where's the sound? Half of the nostalgia of a flip clock is, get this, the sound of the actual flip. If these things were fixed we'd definitely have a 5 star.
Nice Clock
john212 5.0 stars Version: 1.01
Cool clock, but could you add a selection of colors to choice from? It would be nice If AM was white an PM was yellow.
Still not right for me
CasinoOwl 3.0 stars Version: 1.01
I waited til they added a portrait mode before reviewing, but then they made the clock display in a four-square shape instead of just putting the numbers in a line... you know, like a clock. I just found a free clock called Night Stand that looks good and does a usable portrait mode so i will recommend that. Night Stand claims to be adding a flip clock skin soon, so I look forward to that. This Flip Clock is super nice if you can lay your phone on it's side (ie. not in a dock or speakers). They did add a portrait mode, but it's more for design majors than someone who wants it to read like a clock.
Animation needs work
j.Franco 2.0 stars Version: 1.01
Works as advertised, however the animation is hardly noticeable. With the brightness dimmed down to about 40 percent the animation is not noticable from even 2 feet away. On the plus side the bold numbers are readable from even 10 ft away, but that animation just doesn't cut it. Perhaps a glow on the numbers or a shadow. My wife and I both found the animation lacking. Hope to see an update soon.
Huge fan of this app!
mcneesek 5.0 stars Version: 1.01
I love this app. I use it all the time for various reasons. It simple, east to use, bright display and is updated. Thanks!
