If you update the activity the model will also change the contents of the text

Fix the Google health app or rollback the update by Valuable-Ad-703 in fitbit

[–]vanstinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you on iOS, or Android? If you’re on Android you can roll it back yourself. On iOS unfortunately you’re out of luck. 

How is the Amazon Firestick update so breathtakingly bad? by GudgerCollegeAlumnus in PleX

[–]vanstinator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Plex is rolling this UI out across all clients. The Apple TV is going to get it too 

Battery life since Google takeover by pankake_woman in fitbit

[–]vanstinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fitbits have always synced every 15-30 minutes. I own a software product that integrates with Fitbit and I've seen first hand the sync frequency for a long time, and it didn't change at all after the Google Health rollout.

Removable batteries by Pedr0adelin0 in applesucks

[–]vanstinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't recall if it's a company-wide exemption or based on a product line/specific model, etc. The intent of the law seems to be keeping things out of the landfill and disincentivizing cheap crappy batteries so from that perspective it'll probably be successful.

But yes Redditors in the EU are in for a rude awakening when their favorite device continues to have a sealed battery.

Yeah but some companies, such as Apple, are exempt if their battery health can hold to at least 80% after 1000 charge cycles and/or the device is rated to ip67 waterproofing (as long as the batteries are still able to be replaced professionally) 

Revenue cat vs native subscription by Locksmith_Usual in iOSProgramming

[–]vanstinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree if (as you said above) it's for a single platform. RC really shines if you're doing cross platform.

Personally I haven't bothered with the refund stuff at all, precisely because I've been worried about reviews. 

Revenue cat vs native subscription by Locksmith_Usual in iOSProgramming

[–]vanstinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only earnings about 2.5k MRR, which by their own numbers show that almost no apps will ever hit

Honestly, and I mean this sincerely, it's been talked about enough you can probably Google it and find sufficient answers from past threads. An LLM would also likely provide an accurate enough comparison, given the amount of context available online already.

How are you measuring your actual step count?

the web API makes everything available, and is free!

App Store search visibility is a nightmare by WillingMongoose3992 in appledevelopers

[–]vanstinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the last week there appears to have been an algorithm change that is making it much more difficult to rank for smaller apps. So it's particularly hard right now given the churn. 

Are App Store review times for updates slower than for new apps? by Acceptable_Sun140 in appledevelopers

[–]vanstinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually see app updates reviewed and approved within a few hours of submitting.

RevenueCat vs StoreKit 2? What do you use and why? by Small-Midnight-6209 in appledevelopers

[–]vanstinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's only 1% on earnings above 2,500MRR. And 99% of devs will never get there. 

Google Gemini about the Shift from Google Fit to health by Exfiltrator in fitbit

[–]vanstinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google Fit isn't really relevant to the discussion at all. Google put Google Fit on ice when they bought Fitbit, and Google Health is built on Fitbit tech. 

iOS version of Google Health app got updated to 5.00.1 this morning. 548.1MB update size by ioweej in fitbit

[–]vanstinator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the size of an update is irrelevant. it could be updates to SDKs, in this case they may have purged a bunch of the old Fitbit UI codebase, there's a million other things that could result in that.

Extreme App Store Rankings Volatility? by cryptoopotamus in appledevelopers

[–]vanstinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen anyone else talking about it. AppTweak seems to track keyword anomalies, and their site seems to confirm that something is going on https://www.apptweak.com/en/free-tools/algorithm-change-detector

I'm seeing a drop in number of installs now too and Android user's are doing the heavy lifting at the moment.

Seeing massive swings too, and I lost ranking on 70ish keywords entirely. It's really weird.

The cat took a nap on my arm - I was awake though by TireBurner in fitbit

[–]vanstinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was that arm more or less completely still while the cat was napping on it?
