"Wake" has to be the nicest looking alarm clock I've ever seen.
(yes I bought it).
However there's soooo many limitations on iOS compared to Android. Half the features of wake won't work unless you leave it in the foreground, DND off, and screen not locked. All becuase of iOS restrictions. Android has none of these.
2- No widgets - I like having weather visible right there without having to drag anything
3- Not able to replace weather widget in notification bar (I perfer Y! weather app / Underground Weather)
4- Not able to swipe away a notification. Instead having to click a tiny "x" and then "clear" but this removes ALL of that programs.
5- Not being able to place apps/folders where I want. This really annoyes me. I don't want them at the top of the screen, but down near the dock!
6- Limit to 4 things on the dock
7- NO QUICK TOGGLES (ARGEEEEEEEEEE)
8- Being in Google eco system is awkward on iPhone (but not impossible). All I want is my contact groups sync'd but CardDAV doesn't support it.
9- No Google Music app (although this is google's fault not Apples)
10- Fucking non-standard connectors.
11- Not able to use custom keyboards like Swiftkey
Final one is hardware
12- No led colour notification that I have something I should look at (ie: text/call/email). Instead the phone just sits there black screen unless you unlock and check. I know you can use the led flash, but it flashes 3 times and then that's it. No wonder people run their phone batteries down, you have to keep checking it instead of just glancing over to see if a small light is flashing or not.
That's pretty much it that's bugging me. Other than that, iOS 6 is seriously an improvement since the last iOS I used (2009 lol). Everything feels responsive, the apps do what I want.
So anyone using iOS 7... how much of the above is solved ? I know there's a control panel type thing now which has some toggle switches.
