Share My Creation Squircle of Shame

My first published B4A app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iprototypes.squircle

Very much a learning experience for me... and who knows, might make Android slightly better, if we get more apps with Adaptive Icons! ;-)

4 Feb 2022: Updated the post to show the original design, vs. how the app currently looks (with added features like search and refresh).

Hi Greg,

I like you minimalist app drawer with most relevant options.


Noted the idea for myself Thanks

Regards,

Anand

What a great idea.
I installed your app, I sent a few emails and now I'm waiting for replies to my emails.

Your app is running smoothly, I had absolutely no issues using it whatsoever. Well a couple of my installed apps couldn't be found on the play store through your all, but the apps are there because I checked.

I'm leaving your 5 star feedback right now.

Cheers...

Update,
I've already received a few replies, by far this is my favourite. This response is from the developer of the only SQLite database managing tool that I use on my Android devices.

"Thank you very much! Good to know that it helps. I will definitely check adaptive icon. But at this moment bit busy at work and newborn at home.
I have other pending enhancements half done for this app. Will give a new release in April."

So it looks like your app does in fact have an effect on the app developer(s).

I like your Onboarding View

I found a bug, if you start the app and the side menu was not open and you swipe to open it, the menu is red and have no items.

Thanks for the feedback - I'll try and reproduce (and hopefully fix!)

I could reproduce... and have fixed. Rolling out to production soon (version 1.0.26).
Thanks again for the feedback!

Yes, thank you for your work! And I was able to use this with vectors, which was good ;-)

That's great to hear!

I had the same issue, this happens when the app in question is not downloaded from the Play Store, (because it was installed from the development PC). When I checked on another device that had downloaded from the Store it found the app in question. Will now have to update it to avoid the Squircle of Shame!

Since I last posted, I added Dark Theme support, Search, and very recently a choice of regular Hamburger menu or Navigation strip menu.
