I loved the iOS Dev tutorials and I've finally put together my own app and launched it on the app store. I'd love some feedback on it and suggestions for how to make it better. Also, if anyone has any questions on it, I'm here to you you all out with your own apps.

Does it bring up all the most recent photos related to the hashtag?
Bryan Jenkins
5,438 PointsThanks I really appreciate that!
Yeah it filters by most most recent and you can add whichever hashtags you want to follow.

16,433 PointsI have an app or game on the app store. Its called tappy flight. Could you check it out for me? Also, i think your next update should consist of having it show a time of how recent the posts are.
Bryan Jenkins
5,438 PointsThat's pretty cool I just downloaded it. Best score so far is 11 but I'm getting better! I'll leave a good review for you.
Did you tap one of the pictures. They get larger and the time it was posted is on the top right. Is that what you meant?
Rashii Henry
16,433 Pointsoh okay, i see it now. How long did it take for you to develop your application?
Bryan Jenkins
5,438 PointsIt took me about 2 weeks working on it after work. What about yours?
Rashii Henry
16,433 PointsIt took me about a week. But ive been trying to spend more time on this next update so people will actually want to play longer. basically focusing on the game play content.

Courses Plus Student 1,456 Pointswow look back is an awesome apps. how did you managed to make this great apps Bryan Jenkins . how did you make a sidebar menu facebook style? and how you managed to make a popup style for add a new hashtag? thanks.
Bryan Jenkins
5,438 PointsHey David Klein, I really appreciate your kind words!
I used a cocoapod called MMDrawerController for the slide out menu and I took the custom transition Sam used an the tutorial and tweeked it a bit. I used NSUserDefaults to store the tags in an array and the popup form is just a new view controller on the stack with a transparent background. Similar to the photo view controller sam walked us through.
If you have anymore questions, I'm happy to help!

Courses Plus Student 1,456 Pointsthanks for your reply Bryan Jenkins . i think i need to start to be a bit more crazy about xcode cause i'm always lazy when i got stuck. i will try MMDrawerController and try to make a popup windows same like your app. thanks for inspiring me.
Bryan Jenkins
5,438 PointsYeah it can be tough when I get stuck too. Everyone on the forum is really helpful though so if you get stuck just ask and we'll help! Let me know what you end up making. I'm excited to see it!

Courses Plus Student 155 Pointsthanks for the link Bryan Jenkins but those tutorial i guess only for programmatic (without storyboard) while i'm currently using storyboard. i've been stuck with this library for 10 hours. I guess i will stop until WWDC started. :)
Bryan Jenkins
5,438 PointsYeah I personally didn't use a storyboard, but here is a good tutorial on how to integrate it.
