I am very close to being ready to submit the next version of my 4ZzZfm iPhone app to Apple for approval.
I have been hard at work adding features and a better UI experience and I think it’s finally done.
The main addition to this version is the Program Guide. It is a complete 4ZzZ program guide navigable by day and time. It displays detailed info about each show on 4ZzZ (where available). The streaming player screen even shows what program you are currently listening to.
The best bit though, is that the Program Guide can be told to display itself in your current local timezone. I know, I know… it’s no longer Daylight Savings time here in Australia. So the east coast Australian users won’t benefit from this feature till next year. However, anyone in SA or WA will get the Program Guide in their local timezone, not in QLD time.
Best of all, all the users in other countries will benefit most of all as it’s not just a matter of a couple hours one way or another… some programs would be on different actual DAYS in their local area. This new Program Guide handles that. Doesn’t matter if you are in Japan or Canada.. it works off what you have as your local timezone in your iPhone.
Controlling this switch is a new settings screen from within the app, and a settings bundle in the iPhone’s settings app. The in-app settings screen however has another useful feature. It can rebuild the Program Guide if you for any reason find yourself in a new timezone! Just rebuild the Program Guide and you are good to go.
Below is a gallery of screenshots… as always, the gallery software cuts off the screenshots a bit in the thumbnails so be sure and click through to the larger version of each image.
