I'm not an iOS user, but I agree. This reminded me of the sort of one-screen dashboard I get from my Windows Phone home and Surface start menu. It looks really clean and…
bhauer on HNWhat a great idea. Nice looking app
fourstar on HNLove the look. Without having a chance to download it yet, how does the to-do list part work? Is it pulling a to-do list from one of my current to-do list apps, or do I need to…

Objections
Requires iOS 6 only
From 1 comment
"Requires iOS 6.0 or later" - one of my least favourite phrases. I'm curious - what specific features require iOS 6? Why is so much iOS software backwards-incompatible?

I hate not having any other comment to make but I think you would benefit from trying to optimise the size of the main banner image [1]. It's currently clocking in at just under…

Nice app! Can't wait for the iPhone version :) It looks like you're using Paperfold (https://www.cocoacontrols.com/controls/paperfold). Mind adding it to the list of apps that…

Multiple weather panels with custom locations
From 2 comments
Hi - would be useful if I could have two instance of the weather app and be able to specify locations. Add to that a tile with flight status - ideally tied in to…

Public transit and bike commute options
From 1 comment
Would be great if commute could be either public transport or by bike - I don't have a car, which in Denmark isn't very uncommon for city people. Otherwise great app - now I just…

Google Now
From 2 comments
