Hey Everyone,

We’ve been super busy working on Awaken 5 - yes, Awaken 4.1 has become Awaken 5.0 due to all of the under-the-hood changes, new features, updated UI and better performance. We’ll have more on that soon.

For now, we would like your feedback on a UI change related to how alarms are displayed in non-fullscreen mode. We made this change to be more streamlined and easier to use. 

In the video below we are demonstrating the Egg Timer and as of now the countdown screen portion has yet to be updated but the key thing for feedback is the alarm view displayed. 

You will notice that video is being played back. Right now with widescreen video there is an empty space above and below the video. We will be addressing that by animating the height of the window to match.

Also, if you’d like to see real-time updates (screenshots, video, notes) and the ability to reply on each as they happen - you can follow me on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/jerrybrace.

All feedback is welcomed on this early draft. We look forward to reading it.

We’re busy working on Awaken 4.1 which is a major update and often times I bounce ideas off of people I know on my buddy list who use Awaken. The feedback is very valuable and I wanted to extend the reach by offering a way for those interested to get involved.

[UPDATED]
So if you’re interested in being sent progress updates, links to screenshots or video of features in development and opportunities to voice your opinion and other feedback during development send please follow me on Twitter via http://twitter.com/jerrybrace.
