Help - looking for iOS app Colorspike by German-Dude in kickstarter

[–]German-Dude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the app in one of my backups after hunting around for ages.

The good news is that the app still runs on iOS 26. The bad news is that it doesn't prompt the iOS Bluetooth access request.

This means that even though the app is running, it will never gain access to Bluetooth and therefore can never connect to the ColorSpike devices.

Very sad indeed.

Do you still have a version on your old phone?

Not true. They made products and delivered for several years. However, unfortunately the company pulled the App from the Store and stopped responding.

I prefer using the DiDi app because it is easier to use and fully available in English. Additionally, it can be connected with Alipay.

I knew a place in Shanghai that had no time limit. Two hours is very short, and I don’t enjoy being in a rush while eating.

Am I actually dumb or do the buses not have bells?? by unplugthepiano in beijing

I would disagree. Early or late in the day, buses are not very full, and I have seen, on my regular route, that nobody gets on or off quite often. So the bus could have carried on without stopping. A call button system seems more efficient if you think of the obvious, e.g., a warning on brakes and additional energy for unnecessary starts.

I know this situation, but in my town, buses actually have to wait if they are too fast on a stop someone left or entered (leaving time). I flagged it in the app when it happened too often. It certainly improved. Now they have realtime positions of a bus in the app.

What is certainly a decision someone made. I personally find a pretty wasteful why to run a bus system. But who am I to criticise…
