Astraware Solitaire Brings Refreshing App Update
Posted on 14 July 2009, at 6:30 am, by Travis Ehrlich
So many times an App update comes across and we click update all and walk away. Lately I have been very interested in what updates are bringing with push, video and compass possibilities. Most updates are for minor bug fixes or 3.0 compatibility. This evening my only update was for Astraware Solitaire, which I reviewed last week. (Read review here) “Control your iPod music from within the game.” Hmmm. Not much thought for a few minutes then I decided to test out the new update.
There are many apps that allow iPod music to play while in use. I have not had an app that allows you to control your music without quitting then restarting. Just simply go to settings and click on “My iPod Music.” The current song with controls pops up. If you click “change,” a very iPod looking screen allows navigation of the entire library. This is a very simple update, but nicely done! More apps should add this kind of functionality!!

Now that is a very *cool* feature — and from a solitaire game, no less! I would have definitely missed this one had you not put a “spotlight” on it (pun intended).
This is definitely something more developers should integrate into their applications (as long as it doesn’t impact stability and battery life
).
