Thanks for the suggestions folks - new name coming soon!

@asqwerth that's a good point, I've already got a note to make it more obvious how to remove dates (I've had the same question raised outside of the forum too) and I'll think about how to delete dates from the main calendar.

More feedback about the new calender view, plus how the "wear dates" are displayed in each watch's' own page - I find it less helpful than the old interface, and I think it will get progressively more unwieldy the longer this app is running, because:

1. the "what months do you wear said watch" and "what days of the week you wear it" are less helpful the more years you've been running this app. I mean, maybe other users are different, but I don't need to know how often I've worn a watch in April over the many years this app has been running. What I want to know is how many times I've worn it THIS April. Same with the day of the week display. It doesn't differentiate which April you are referring to. I know that because I have a large collection, and I haven't worn watch A since February, yet the display shows the times it's been worn in Mar, April, May, June, ie, last year's stated months.

2. There is no longer a single page overview listing all the dates I've worn the watch. I now have to scroll through pages of calendar months to look for little blue dots [and my eyesight isn't what it used to be], and mentally list [or add] the said dots, if any, in each month's page. For people with larger collections, you might have to scroll through quite a few months' worth of calendar pages before you get to the last time a watch was worn this year. It's now much harder to check on how many times a watch has been worn in a particular year.

I could go into the Stats page and apply the relevant filter, but how many keypresses is that? And that just gives me total number worn this year, not a list of the dates a watch was worn.

Sorry for the mini rant. I do like this app and appreciate all your work on this. But I think the new features need to be tweaked a little more.

Fantastic feedback, thanks @asqwerth !

I can easily re-add the date list as an alternative view if it's helpful. I agree on the month charts - I'd been considering showing options you can cycle through as an addition, which could limit it to this year > side by side years > all data etc.
It would be a bit more work, but I think it would make the graphs here more useful - I'll add this to my list

...and please feel free to rant away, it's that kind of honest feedback that'll help me to make the app better

@Stif with the growing availability of genAI and image APIs, how long before I can just use my camera to point at my wrist and tap to log a wear?

Not that I'm lazy, but thought of the idea ....

^^^But really shouldn't the AI be capable of forecasting what you are going to wear and adding it automatically?

I was toying with the idea of investigating Google's new Gemini API for another project, the challenge is the potential costs of API calls.

I wonder if it would be possible to take a picture of a watch and have it tell you what model it was and let you add it to your wishlist... Maybe one for a lazy weekend

Doesn't 'Google Lens' do that for you?

It would Guy - but it wouldn't let you automatically track it within the app - the gemini API essentially lets developers integrate things like this within their own apps.

I found a handful of WristCheck references in the beta. I took screenshots of what I saw and submitted through TestFlight.

Thanks Jameson, appreciate it, I'll check those out later when I get done with work for the day.

I didn't update the daily reminders yet (I'm more nervous about breaking those to be honest!)

I'll probably push out the current change quickly to get the main store listing updated asap and then do a quick follow up to tidy up anything else - genuinely appreciate a second set of eyes on it! (I tried to search the codebase, but being the genius that I am I've named loads of methods and classes as wristchecksomething )

Those screenshots are great @NationOfLaws , thank you! I was aware of the onboarding one, but the others were total misses!

I also only just found your screenshot of the calendar view suggesting the option to have it as the landing page, sorry! Happy to add a toggle into settings in a future release as should be pretty easy to do (per notes above I've got some other calendar related updates I'd like to do soon too!)

@Stif

What is your website? The current one in your signature does not resolve.

He has had to rename the app because WristCheck was trademarked. There is a post on it a page or two back. He is probably working on securing the new domain (killing the old one for now) for the name change and getting everything moved over. The priority has been the app at first so that he can keep it up and working in the store.

I'm not sure what he eventually landed on for the new name.

I knew I had something else to do I'll update my signature now!

Spent a bit of time at the weekend repointing to a new URL: www.wristtrack.app which killed the old one (I tried to put a redirect in place, but that stuff really isn't my bag, so I think I did it all wrong...)

WristTrack it is! Onward and upward! Everything seems to be working great with the new release. I still get the occasional crash caused by the debug code but I just ignore them. Looking good so far!
