Hey Kathleen,

I appologize that this fell through the cracks. Did you have any luck getting the application to work.

One thing to try.

Go to the settings
Adjust the volume with the slider on the application
Increase the ringer volume with the button on the side of your phone at the exact same time.

Sometimes the phone seems to decrease the volume for the entire application.

If that doesn't work, let me know what device you are on and what OS version you are running.

Okay I uploaded this to apple for review. Currently they are taking 2 weeks to approve updates. You will be able to turn on battery save mode in the settings application on your phone. Then turn the phone over and the screen will blank out.

David Clements replied on September 13, 2009 03:30 to the question "Can the Buddha image be blanked to save battery life?" in Gidigo:

I am going to make it so that if you turn the device over the screen will blank out. Thanks for the suggestion.

David Clements replied on March 30, 2009 21:37 to the idea "Keep the iPhone quiet during meditation" in Gidigo:

I would love to be able to add this to the application but the Iphone doesn't allow apps to mess with airplane mode. Maybe in a future update they might allow it. I guess Ipod Touch users don't have that problem.

Thanks for the feedback.

David Clements reported a problem in Apple on March 17, 2009 16:56:

No way to find new apps on App Store on Iphone

AppStore on my Iphone no longer show most recent applications. 4th on the list for photography is Christmas Card. Release Nov. 27th? I want to be able to see what the new applications are?

David Clements replied on March 17, 2009 15:27 to the question "A query" in Gidigo:

If you have a second generation Ipod touch , which has external speakers then you will not need earphones for Suzu Meditate to work. If you have a first generation then you would want to find some inexpensive external speakers, or if your room is quiet enough you would likely hear the bell even if you headphones were plugged in and on the floor.

The way the Ipod/Iphone currently works you will have to have the device on and the application running for the singing bowl to play.

David Clements replied on March 09, 2009 17:31 to the question "can you make it so I can use my own image of the Buddha?" in Gidigo:

Yeah totally I should be able to do that. I will just scale it to fit the screen.

I put it on my list for the next update.

David Clements replied on February 12, 2009 04:57 to the problem "The screen does not go black." in Gidigo:

Hey Michelle,

What type of device do you have and what version of the IPhone software are you running?

David Clements replied on February 11, 2009 16:20 to the question "Repeating alerts with meditation app" in Gidigo:

I just want to say that you guys are awesome. It is really great to wake up and see you all working together to make this app even better.

First things first, Andy I think you may have found a bug, I was pretty sure I test the scenario where you have the period at 4 minutes and the repeating bells at three minutes. That should result in 1 bell at 3 minutes and continuous ringing starting at 4 minutes. I will look into this today, find it , fix it and upload it to Apple.

Let me see if I can summarize an acceptable solution to the issues raised here. I really don't want to complicate the UI too much so we will see what we can do here.

1) Be able to indicate that you would like some number of bells to start the session.

2) Be able to indicate that you would like to start the session in some number of seconds.

3) Be able to indicate that you would like to end the session with some number of bells with silence after that.

And fix the bugs of course. :)

I think I might be able to pull this off while still having one configuration screen if I make the duration selection much smaller.

Did I miss anything crucial? I think if the UI is simple then we won't need saved settings.

David Clements replied on February 04, 2009 14:46 to the problem "Suzu Request" in Gidigo:

Hey Quyen, are you looking at the SUZU Meditate? I don't think that it has this feature. SUZU Wake me gently does have it and it is described on the app description.

Also, I am not sure where the App store feedback goes but I don't see it.

David Clements replied on February 02, 2009 21:52 to the idea "French version for future upgrade ?" in Gidigo:

Hey Lucas,

Which product are you interested in? Can you give us insight into what you would want localized for French?

Does the English version not work properly?

David Clements replied on January 31, 2009 15:31 to the idea "A Wristpop Coin Toss" in Gidigo:

Great idea... I'll look for it.. Thanks for the feedback. I am always looking for more coins.

David Clements replied on January 25, 2009 15:27 to the question "Repeating alerts with meditation app" in Gidigo:

Yeah, sorry I should have worded that differently. I know that that timer currently keeps ringing.

Perhaps it makes sense in this case to have it ring 3 times and then stop at the end.

David Clements replied on January 23, 2009 17:25 to the question "Repeating alerts with meditation app" in Gidigo:

So the timer just stops ringing? Or maybe rings three times and then stops?

David Clements replied on January 23, 2009 04:50 to the question "Repeating alerts with meditation app" in Gidigo:

Okay I uploaded it to the store today version 1.6 will have every minute from 1 to 60 available.

David Clements replied on January 22, 2009 20:12 to the question "Repeating alerts with meditation app" in Gidigo:

Cool..

Total oversight on the increments by 5. I'll add all the numbers in there and get an update out to you.

David Clements replied on January 22, 2009 19:48 to the question "Repeating alerts with meditation app" in Gidigo:

There are now two modes:

Repeating Timer - which I believe is what was desired.

Set the timer to 30 minutes
Set the interval to 5 minutes.

Bell rings every 5 minutes for 30 minutes then it rings every 8 seconds.

Golden Mode -

Set the Timer to 30 minutes
Set the 'interval' to 5 minutes --- ( Not really an interval though )

Bells rings at 30 minutes
Then in rings approximately five times over the next 5 mintues , those bells are at decreasing intervals. The decrease is based on the golden mean.
Then it rings every 8 seconds.

Does that clear it up? I am sorry for the confusion. Golden mode is a little weird. The intention is so that you don't have to end your meditation right when the timer goes off. You can configure a more gently exit over some timer period.
