➶ Immobile Apps
Nick Bradbury has some great points on testing mobile apps. Our flat has truly shitty cellular data, and the WiFi doesn’t extend to one level of our basement flat - and it’s painful to see so many apps that appear to simply not have been tested on GPRS.
In developing Happening - which I recently retired from the App Store - I spent a tonne of time testing the app in the GPRS hotspot that was our previous office. The Network Link Conditioner in the iOS SDK is a great tool, but nothing emphasises the latency of GPRS like GPRS itself.
