Retina Display Affecting Apps: CoPilot

[Ahnuld]

I just purchased copilot for my iPhone 4.

The display is squeezed into the top 15% of the screen and mirrored side by side! But the touch is still full screen

Its basically unusable.

Their facebook page has a small discussion thread saying they are working on fixing it. ugh


any other apps

I'd get a screen shot..how do I do that?

Press the home and lock buttons at the same time. That will take a screenshot.

Doesn't surprise me - the CoPilot interface is one of the worst I've experienced on the iPhone.

Just took this shot. Very, very rubbish!

That kinda sucks, I guess all you can do it wait for a fix and hope its sooner rather then later.

Just checked their blog - they know about it!

iPhone 4 has hit the shops today, and the first customers to lay their hands on one are reporting problems running CoPilot Live. The issue is to do with iPhone 4’s high res Retina display.

Please rest assured that we will issue an update that fixes this as soon as possible. It will also bring the full iOS 4 compatibility that we described yesterday

We are sorry for any inconvenience and will keep you informed about the status of the update right here.

Please don't put the blame on the display... This is certainly the developer's fault for not properly coding their app to work across multiple resolutions as Apple advised long ago.

Oh.. I'm with you on that. Posted similarly on their facebook page.
But I see how my subject line implies its the fault of the retina display.

When I have 80 apps and this is the only one I've experienced this on, strongly indicates they are doing something wrong.

This is why apple wants developers to use the Objective-C language and the standard iphone APIs. Ya go around the norm and get these issues!

thanks! I am sure there are dozens of little tricks like this that I havent learned in my year of owning the iPhone!

Well... have to give them (and Apple) credit for getting it done so fast... the fix is available already from the App Store. I think its also upgraded for multi-tasking.

Someone mentioned elsewhere that Europe wasnt avail... not sure if thats true tho as I am US
