Didn't know where to click to show avanced charts + Android app?
First, great app, one of my favorites, next to gmail and google reader!
Two ideas:
1) I was using BubbleTimer for few months, and I was always lacking chart support. Just today I figured out I can click on links under Daily Goal etc to get charts. You probably could add "Click on link under Daily Goals to see charts" sentence under bubble table (or maybe I should start worrying about my perceptiveness (?) :) ).
2) As far as I know you have iPhone app, it's not your fault, but iPhone sucks totally (at least app-review part of AppStore does, in my opinion of course). Did you consider creating BubbleTimer app for Android mobile phones? I'm Android developer, so maybe I could help a little (setup project on launchpad and create some prototype, maybe even get second developer involved, of course only if you are willing to release web-side API, otherwise I could at least help with testing / pointing to resources if you would prefer to keep control over things :) )

Inappropriate?Marcin,
First off, thanks for using BubbleTimer. We really appreciate all of our customers! :)
Now, on to your ideas
With #1, there should be a hover over action that displays a graph, as well as the hand indicator to show a link. We decided against the graphical statement, instead preferring to put that information in the introduction when users first log in.
For #2, we actually don't have an iPhone app, instead just an iPhone optimized version. If you navigate with your Android phone to iphone.bubbletimer.com, you can use the same version that the iPhone users see as well.
Regards,

Inappropriate?1) I probably should have read introduction :P

Inappropriate?Marcin,
Never apologize for your English. I'm a native speaker and I butcher the English language as much as anybody. On top of that, I can't speak/read/write or understand any other language at all. So anyone that manages to communicate in more than 1 language has my instant respect.
Don't feel at all bad about #1. I get countless emails asking me for this feature from people that haven't found it. The aesthetic of BubbleTimer, keeping things close at hand (1 hover or click away) but out of the way until you need them really works against new users finding all the features. I really have to address this because I think a staggeringly large number of new users leave the application thinking it just doesn't do what they want.
I plan to add an interactive tour for new users that's just 4 or 5 extra clicks before you get started, but that points out the hidden stuff.
As for #2, I'll probably never do a native Android version, even though a native iPhone version is planned for sometime in the future. Eric and a couple of other users have confirmed the iPhone web version works on Android's browser so that's probably the only nod to android. Maybe I'll add the subdomain android.bubbletimer.com and do the same auto-detect of Android browsing as we do for iPhone. That's not a bad idea.
Thanks,
Sean

Inappropriate?Marcin,
I forgot to mention. I do have a Web API defined and it won't take to much to implement. I'll announce it pretty widely when it's available and if you'd like to take a crack at an Android app., that'd be awesome!
Thanks,
Sean
