Verbal battery notifications
-
I ride with headphones and it's silly to have to take out your phone while riding to see the level of your battery. I know the bleeps notify you, but why not a voice at 50, 20, 10 and 5%? The less I take out my phone while riding, the better.

@wrede66 I’m working on this concept and have a very rough prototype on the iOS App Store now: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/float-deck/id1332503706?mt=8
Would really dig any feedback!

@dbro what about android bro?
-
@dbro Glad you did this! Probably what I'm looking for, but I only have a 5c so my OS can't run it. Bummer.
-
@pb_mvg Definitely interested in making an Android version too, just happen to have an iPhone at the moment so I started there.
@wrede66 Just submitted an update to the app store to lower the iOS version requirement to 10. Hopefully it'll get approved sometime Monday 1/22.

Do you have your phone silenced while riding? You can get those audio warnings from the OW app while riding.
-
@skyman88 No, my phone is not silenced, but I'm looking for more than just that squiggly noise the FM app makes. I have a great bike app that talks to me at intervals for mileage. Something like that.
-
@dbro hey - great- look forward to it!
-
@dbro Hey- just check app store and I was able to get it- thx. Raining here in ATL now, but I'll try it out tomorrow.
-
@dbro thanks brotha...keep up the hard work
-
Anyone know what happened to this app? It won't run on my phone any longer and it was removed from the iTunes store. I loved that program. The verbal cues were very useful.
-
If you use Android in the settings in ow app you can change to any sound file you want.
So make your own mp3 and change for that.
-
@dbro I got the app originally but it is not longer available for my OW friends... Love the APP.
