[QUOTE="designbot, post: 6947883, member: 6777589"] Cool. Those are some good improvements. Notes: [LIST] [*]It's still a little weird seeing "-5" damage to represent healing. Also, once you hit "Heal", there's no way to turn it back into damage except to delete everything. Two possible fixes: [LIST] [*]Display damage as negative by default. Change the "Heal" button to "+/-". [*]When you press "Heal", change the "Damage" caption to "Healing" instead of adding a minus sign. Also, change the "Heal" button to say "Damage" so you can switch back. [/LIST] [*]The monster speeds overlap the hit points for some creatures like the ancient blue dragon. [*]The "Use System Keyboard" preference does not apply immediately. (It works the second time you view a keyboard.) [*]I would expect the numeric keyboard to look closer to the [URL="https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/StringsTextFonts/Conceptual/TextAndWebiPhoneOS/KeyboardManagement/KeyboardManagement.html"]standard numeric keyboard[/URL]. I'd also use the standard [URL="http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/232b/index.htm"]backspace character (⌫)[/URL] instead of drawing a custom one. [*]When editing stats for a new player, the cursor starts after "0", so you either have to hit backspace or enter your number with a leading zero. It would be nice to automatically delete the 0 once you start editing. [*]Character "Type" is a little non-standard; maybe this should separated into race & class. [*]It would be nice to make it more obvious how to edit the player info once it's added (it looks like now you have to swipe the name to reveal the edit control, which is not obvious). [*]It would still be really nice to fit everything on one screen on the iPhone. [*]I figured out how to get to Dropbox by tapping Locations (that's nice, though I would probably make Dropbox the default). When you do, however, the title and status bar disappear. I think they're displaying in white text on a white background. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
