I wrote an article three months ago,I talked about my experience and outlook for desktop widding after upgrading iOS 14 betaAt that time, only through the official bring-your-own app usage analysis, now iOS 14 genuine has been launched more than half a month, desktop widding status quo?
Article delivery door:Two-week experience with iOS 14 desktop widding . . . about technology
Looking at it, the recent free list of the App Store can not be separated from the desktop widding this keyword. The most visible isWidgetsmithAnd.Color WidgetsTwo pieces of software designed to beautify the desktop with custom desktop components. Such software has also appeared in the past, such as the iPhone X after the release of a number of Liu Hai-themed wallpaper software, but such software will be lost because of the lack of freshness will be slowly abandoned.WidgetsmithAnd.Color WidgetsIt will also be forgotten by the emergence of other, more useful gadgets, and now so many of them are using software that supports components that is not rich enough to meet some of the needs. This time, let's not discuss this type of software just for small pieces.
This type of software has been updated in the first place because of features that are well matched to the component functionality. Todo-type software doesn't have to be talked about much, for exampleTickTick、Things、Sorted、TodoistWait a minuteThey don't make much difference in experience, always used to use what software to continue to use it.Because I have always had the habit of sticking notes on the computer desktop, I very much hope that this can continue to the mobile phone, originally I put my hope in all kinds of note software, but I often do not update the component function, the system brings its own is not practical enough, I began to look for software to meet my use.So I remember I used 3M many years agoPost-itSoftware, yes, is your daily use of the convenience sticker brand, the most interesting feature at that time is to use the camera to scan a wall of convenience stickers and convert them into an electronic version of the mobile phone, and can be synced to impression notes, but then because they can no longer be synchronized, and impression notes out of their own note function I am not in usePost-itThis software is out. But this time I thought of it for the first time, and it didn't disappoint me.It allows users to stick any note on the desktop and offers four useful Widgets。It really has a feeling that you've posted the convenience on your phone's desktop, and it's a great experience，Support for text, handwriting, and scanning real-world convenience stickers three ways to enter, but also support iCloud synchronization, the only thing that is not good in the U.S. and China is now and do not support sync to any third party note software, somewhat unfortunately.
Post-it components allow you to fill your entire desktop with notesI don't know if I can replace Post-it after a few common note-type software support desktop components, and I'll look forward to it for the time being.I think of the countdown software I used in the iPhone 4 eraDays MatterAnd it's updated at lastSupports putting important date reminders on the desktop, and the background can be replaced with your own pictures。 I'm sure they've been dreaming about desktop components for years, after all, I don't say much about how important desktop components are to a countdown reminder software. Similar software also has the yellow calendar, constellations, daily potential and so on, do not need to be specifically opened, update frequency is only once a day, but want to do nothing to take a look.An example of a Days Matter wdding
Travel software
First of all, the domestic airlines app, the domestic airline division app interface is how retro we have to see, it is obviously outsourcing team, those teams iOS software development level you also know, first do not say how fancy, now even the iPad cross-screen use is not good, do not expect to support the latest features. And the airline app is too lazy to update the support for the new features, because after all, even if their app is Xiang Xiang, users have no other choice. So.The Domestic Airlines Division App does not support the componentsIt is also expected.In addition, here I criticize China Eastern Airlines, to make an iPad version is so difficult (is it so expensive)?The U.S. side has never been an appUA（United Airline）Sure enough, it's not a disappointment, after all, it's an app that only supported putting loyalty cards into Apple Wallet last year.AA（American Airline）may be the first aviation division to support component functionality,Their Widgets support future tripsThe advantage of doing so is obvious, it stays on the desktop and visually alerts users to upcoming flights, reduce the possibility of forgetting the flight, also do not have to rush to the airport in the mobile phone to find the flight division app, point several times to see their own flight.American Airlines as wellApp in the AirThe small components of the major aviation divisions have done a good demonstrationThere are also individual aviation management software updates and support for desktop components, such asApp in the Air, it can not only look at future flight information andRemind the user of check in before take-off and see the remaining flight time in real time during the flight。 When there are no flights, it shows all its sailing time and mileage, very intimate. I think this is by far the best aviation software gadget display way, I hope the aviation division can refer to.Hotel App so far the whole line of silence, but in the next period of time can be updated is certain, because the functional objectives are actually very clear, when the user has a trip to show the trip information, in the absence of the trip to show membership information on it. On the one hand, enhance the user's loyalty to hotel membership(Urge users to hurry to spend money to stay in the hotel ah, otherwise how to protect the grade?)）On the other hand, in the travel to see often see their hotel information is not a very happy thing?(Can you not be happy to go out and play)。If you don't have a trip, Expedia's gadgets can access the latest Deals with one clickfound the other dayExpedia(For booking a wine rental car, which can be understood as american flying pigs) also updated the desktop component function, happy to quickly update, so I was most afraid of things happened. If there is no itinerary, isn't this a timely updated ad? It's like an electronic billboard at a station with the slogan "Ready for your next vocation?" Check out today's top deals." It is complemented by beautiful landscapes to attract you to travel happily (or spread the virus) during an outbreak. There are small and medium-sized three sizes of Widgets (advertising), for fear that you can't see the scenery of the little brother and sister. As for flying pigs, Ctrip, where to go, development should also be in the office happy fish, let them go. (Don't hit me with your little buddy...) )
Health software
This kind of software is actually something I'm looking forward to updating the component features, because since I've been from the Apple WatchFitnessAfter putting it on my phone desktop, it's really easier for me to think of closeing the daily ring. Then a software I was using to record my dietYAZIOAlso updated, it supports eight different components in one breath,Allow information about the amount of water you drink, calories, drinks, and more to be posted on your deskSo the software, which I've almost deprecated, is back in full bloom, and I'm thinking about recording what I'm eating today so that the pieces don't feel so empty.A great Fitness for Apple Watch appBy the way, there's another one calledLazy riceThe recipe software supported the desktop component, and after downloading it and trying it out, I found it useless except to put a food photo directly on the desktop late at night to seduce me into eating a late-night snack.Another software for relaxing meditationCalmAlso happy to get updated, but itsThe main purpose is still to attract users to point it outIn the morning, it pushes for a morning-appropriate meditation, with the words "Good morning" and at night it's bed-time stories, light music and, of course, "Good evening."
There have been some unexpected updates recently that have brightened my eyes, for exampleTwitchdesktop components ofSupports viewing anchors that are being streamed live，WeChat readingWill bePut the book you're reading on the table with the cover of the title, it really has a feeling of picking up a book from the desk at any time to read a chapter.The emergence of many components omitted steps that could take up to a dozen seconds, from finding software to waiting for it to turn on to getting into the appropriate functionality.Of course, there are some pieces of the ad function, the purpose is nothing more than to let users use more or spend more, such pieces I will generally choose to turn off. Here also does not name criticism, in case some small partners like to see colorful ads.I'm looking forward to some of my favorite software updates, for exampleImpression notes、Buckle music、Outlook、Twitter...... I'm also looking forward to a news software that supports Widgets and is good to use.With iOS already in use for more than a decade, desktop widding is arguably the biggest change iOS has made to the desktop, and you can see Apple listening to users and drawing on the Android and next doorWindowsPhone(Dead) when the positive change of appearance. I believe this update is an experience upgrade for all iOS users, and even if you don't like it, you can completely ignore this feature, like many Apple services, I can't use it, but I have to have it and I have to look better than everyone else.QQ music is useful for both sizes of WidgetsAt the time I sent this article,QQ musicUpdated and supported desktop components,Supports putting options such as "I like it," "recently played," and "push" directly on your desktopThe benefit is obvious, I can open my favorite music list at the click of a button and start playing, for people like me who often click on the software to select songs, really save a lot of time.
