Apps updated for iOS 7

If anything that article seems to say (and pretty early too) that Wednesday is a more popular release day compared to Thursday. So, pretty much as I figured, more of a myth than anything truly real.
How odd... Well, if I've understood what BAR is, activating it for RunKeeper shouldn't change anything what so ever, right? It'll just work like before, no more data or gps usage than in iOS 6?

Did you read the following sentence as well?
"In reality, whats happening is that developers are scheduling releases for midnight (0:00) on Thursday, and because apps get released at that time worldwide, which winds up being 11pm eastern in North America due to the Atlantic Time Zone, these apps start appearing on Wednesday."
Whatever the technicality might be, it still means that Wednesday would be more popular as far as the apps the article looks at.
Having said all that, it still seems to be within what developers decide to do as far as releasing or updating their apps. So, they might decide to do it on Thursday or Wednesday for one reason or another, or they might not. One particular company looking at some subset of statistics doesn't necessarily imply that it's some sort of a set standard (like let's say typical Tuesday releases for movies/music media, or typical Friday releases for movies in the theaters, or even Patch Tuesday for OS/software updates at least by Microsoft).
And you still can't delete comments, reply to comments, choose the quality you want, or check your inbox. Wonderful.
Agreed. How you can't set the quality you want for the vid is unbelievable. It's for this reason I still use Jasmine but keep YouTube in the hope it gets updated with these features.
My previous tip to you stand: Google and you'll find out more about it.
It's not a set standard, and developers can choose to release their apps whenever they want. But saying Wednesday is more popular when the reason is a time zone difference is just silly.
Believe it or not, but you clearly have your mind made up, so I don't really understand why you even asked. I'm out.
I was curious if this was really a "thing", as one of the earlier posts about it implied, like those Tuesday movie/music releases, Friday theater releases, Patch Tuesday, etc. that were mentioned. It doesn't really appear to be, at least not to that level.
It wasn't working for me on the previous version before I updated to the new YouTube app. So it may be a server-side issue?
Most of my apps, even the 'updated for iOS7' ones, still have the old keyboard or a variation on the old keyboard. This looks really naff now after getting used to the native iOS one.
Holy sith. Sounds like the MSN hell all over again. What is this, the 90s?In my country (The Netherlands), Whatsapp is a standard. People don't text each other, they Whatsapp each other. There is even an officially accepted verb for it: Whatsappen. Even in business people Whatsapp each other. The carriers destroyed SMS years ago with absurd tariffs and Whatsapp was the only alternative in the rise of the app stores, so the switch was very easy and quick for everyone.
So, it's very simple... in many countries where literally everyone uses Whatsapp, you can't just go on and use another app, because you will be very lonelyI would love for everyone to use something different, but I have over 200 contacts in Whatsapp and convincing them (and their friends) is not done.

Hey developers: If you don't use iOS7 status bar or keyboard APIs: Don't ****ing put "iOS7 compatibility" in your release notes.
i like that icon! hopefully instagram gives in and changes it to something similar to that!
i have been seeing a lot of 1 star ratings on the app reviews and most have to do with the icon
