Wow.

You have my utmost respect.

If I have an email that's going to be more than a couple of short paragraphs I go to the desktop.
I do a lot of remote desktop for work but hate trying to compress the work I normally do on three 24" monitors + three 46" wall-monitors onto the Galaxy S4.
It's bad enough running on the 23" from home.
[emoji2] I do what I can. It's better than nothing. When I'm home I'm usually busy.

Bug: when the edge of the editing-screen is too far moved to the side, I can't see the properties anymore. I have to force a refresh first.
I've discovered a way to see and scroll UR comments. Pan over to the right side of the main UR panel, and tap "Less". This will shrink it enough to reveal a comment, and allow you to scroll and see the rest.
We did not test this with long UR conversations, we are going to solve this issue this afternoon. We are also working on allowing and restricting turns.

We were silent all this week because we were working on the Android version but we got stuck on the different screen versions, we went back to eliminating bugs on the iOS version instead of working on the two apps simultaneously. Once we get iOs right, it will be easy to port it to Android since the browser is also webkit.

I will be posting an update on the app this afternoon, the same link you received via PM will work, I will also include the other UDIDs I received and send you the link.

An android version was started but we decided to complete all features needed for a mobile device and then do Android, both OSs have a webkit browser so only the java port would need to be coded. What we would need from all of you is a lot of patience and feedback, I do not have an Android Tablet.
It's all that is needed is the java port, would it make sense to port it now and then updates can be rolled out to both devices at the same time?

"Button" to read the device's GPS location and snap WME to center on that location.
Can be handy for editors attempting to fill in uneditable areas. I did a 180 mile loop today to cover a specific area and ended up missing one of my "targets" by 3 miles.
Also very handy for trying to fix things on the fly as you see them in real life, a great opportunity for a mobile editor.

It doesn't have to be set as a browser, it can be set to intercept only WME PLs, look at how Tapatalk only intercepts forum links.

OK I didn't mean browsing in Tapatalk, it was just an example. As an app Dev you have an option somewhere (I'm not a Dev so I don't know the specifics) to indicate specific URLs which your app can handle. (Examples: Tapatalk can handle URLs which lead to it's forums, Waze can handle waze.to*, a browser app can handle any URL, gmaps can handle any google.com/maps* URL, etc).
Once you have more than one app installed on your phone which handle that specific type of URL intent, incoming the intent (in this case taping a permalink URL in HO) will generate a popup asking you which of the available asps you'd like to use for it, and if this is a one time choice, or should be set as the default action for always.

If this app is set to be able to handle any URL *.Waze.com/editor* it should show up as an option any time a PL is tapped on the phone from anywhere.

Okay, so the intercept is something that needs to be embedded into the app.
It could possibly be dine externally for the tech savvy user using tasked or some such app and intercepting the intents. But that may require the ability to first to load a pl in this app.

What kind of updates are you looking for?
Are you using iOS or Android?
