Too small screenshots App World. Why?

Hello

As I prepare my first app for sumission, I just took a ride to App World to see how other Playbook applications look like.

I noticed that the required app screenshots are 640 x 640, but on App World, they are 300 x 175. It's really hard to notice all the details of the application user interface. And I think that may have a negative impact because the user cannot see the full details of the application.

I would like to ask guys taking care of App World, please show at least 50% of the size of the actual screenshot, so that the user is aware that he is buying.

Or there should be an option for popup-zoom to 100% display when the user clicks on the screen.

I think it's really small compared to the actual size 1024 x 600. What do you think?

Hey challenger,

Yes, we were released just this in the other thread. probably they are aware of this (increased the size I think in the screenshot provider Portal). for now they are probably just using the old system only counts phones. they will probably present a complete redesign, the playbook is rejected in the whole of the population. but I agree, they make our applications look like crud at this time.

  • App World blackBerry enlarge screenshots (pixelated)

    Clicking on a screenshot in the app World de BlackBerry shows a larger image, but this picture just seems to be a larger version of the broken tile.

    This is how it works or is it because there is a default size for a photo that I should be entered in the portal?

    If you compare them carefully (in an appropriate program), you can see that the image isn't simply a version of in place of the smaller scale. Most probably the smallest is a lighter version of the larger, but in any case the largest has certainly some applied quite heavy JPG compression, which produces distracting artifacts in some cases.

    There was after discussions on all of this, including the discussion of a period where the artifacts were if bad that some of us took our screenshots of the card produced. The issues have been resolved then enough, but I'm sure that you will not see the image uncompressed in BBWorld anytime soon.

    I think that the default size is simply the most available grand... I use the screenshots full size of the Z10 at this stage (1280 x 768), uploaded as PNG files, in order to ensure the source material is perfect, even if compression and shrinking reduces the quality.

  • App deny the reason: "App appears either too small or too large on the device.

    Unfortunately, the test app time seems to be very long and short answers standard.

    I send my application in January and has received a refusal, a month later at the end of February. The corresponding email a few days later just said "the app doesn't appear correctly on the device, it seems too small or too big on the device."

    Anyone who receives a simular response and give additional assistance?

    (By the way, I tested the course before app on my Alpha device and the Z10 and Q10 Simulator and it still works without any problem at all.)

    Dear samyotte,

    Thank you for your kind support offer :-)

    The very good news is that the app has been approved now :-)

    About the ancient city deny the reason I have no idea - maybe it happened due to the current large amount of applications that need to be reviewed. In any case, I'm really happy of approval!

    Best regards

  • Why my apps are in the app world, even if it is not "for sale."

    Hi, why my apps for BB10 are in the app world even if it is not "for sale"?

    I don't want them to be shown, because I need to fix some things

    Hi smartek,.

    Can you send me the name of the application (and ID if you have one).  I'll take a look.

    The current Alpha Dev devices are pointing to a different environment, so I want to make sure that your application is not "for sale" in the secondary environment (sounds like they are).

  • Too small to read the text Windows 7 App stacked.

    I have WIndows 7 and I chose to always combine my task bar buttons.  Unfortunately, I did something (and have no idea what) who did the too small to read the text of the stacked applications descriptions.  Infact, the icons seem to very small and cropped on the bottom and the text is clipped on the top and bottom of each line next to each icon.

    I should add that my test of the icon of the office and the size of the icons are both fine and did not appear to change.  It is only the text and the icon in the stacked list of applications in the space bar & task Pinned.  The text and the icon are also cultivated even if the application is not stacked.

    I have a picture of the issue of a screenshot, but don't know how to reach here.

    Hi Charles,

    Maybe it's that the program may have changed some of your registry settings and this is what is causing this problem. If it has not been too long, you can try perfomring a restore before, when this problem occurred.

    Alternatively, you can try an in place upgrade to windows 7 described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2255099

  • BlackBerry Smartphones FB app is too small!

    I have a shourtcat to the Facebook (version 1.7) app on my Storm 9500 and I have no idea how to maximize, because I would have on the entire screen. Now it's too small and somwhere in the middle... I tried everything (including the update and downloading an app a couple of times...), but demand is still (too) small. Any idea? Thanks for the help!

    Too small? You may not use the correct version of storm.

    On your device, go to Options > Applications and remove your current Facebook application.

    Then a restart > with the BlackBerry device powered on, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    Now, using your BlackBerry browser, go to www.blackberry.com/facebook and re-install the application.

    It will be full screen on the storm.

  • BlackBerry smartphones why app world doesn't work in Egypt?

    It gives me a msg when I open the app world says it is not available in your country, I wonder why it isn't?

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    RIM has unilateral control over the availability of AppWorld. On the contrary, a triad of entities must agree - RIM, wireless service provider, and Government. As the main entity to profit in this triad, I've always suspected that the RIM is not one that could hinder the process.

    In addition, you should know that AppWorld is simply a portal, vending apps developed mainly by others. Therefore, it is not your exclusive supply source - there are others that you can try (e.g., Handango, Handmark, BPlay, GetJAR and Mobihand). I found that there are very few applications that is exclusive to AppWorld. You can see the online catalogue and then look for other sources of supply, including quite often on the developer website.

    Good luck!

  • Why my application is not available for download through App World on the Playbook?

    Hello

    I wonder if anyone can help me how I can get my app - "Downtown Livermore' (http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/reviews/43728?lang=en) available for download on App world on the Playbook. It is available on Blackberry phones, but not on the playbook. I can't find an option to make

    available on the Playbook. Where can I configure that? I need to create a presentation of the new?

    When you create the new version, you must download the Playbook (.bar) bundle and to specify that this bundle will support the Tablet (as a platform). I believe you can download simultaneously bundle for smartphones and bundle for Playbook, however you can not change the existing version and add beams. So I would say to create a new version and download the two beams.

    Another option would be to create a new application called 'Your-app-name for Playbook', some developers prefer to do.

  • BlackBerry 8130 smartphones only to download BB app world 2.0 - WHY and how downloaded applications

    I tried to download BB App - the phone says unsupported system world2.0

    Must the 8130 Pearl have a multimedia card installed to download APP world?

    I put e-mail messages without problem but the App World and the Facbook I can't download.

    HELP Please

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Please check this page to ensure that you meet the minimum requirements (including if it is available in your country):

    If it is available in your country and you feel you meet the requirements at the level of the device, and then contact your provider to make sure you meet the requirements of the plan (to them) access (via their network) service to AppWorld.

    Finally, know that AppWorld is simply a portal, vending apps developed mainly by others. Therefore, it is not your exclusive supply source - there are others that you can try (e.g., Handango, Handmark, BPlay, GetJAR and Mobihand). I found that there are very few applications that is exclusive to AppWorld.

  • Horizontal size of the taskbar button is too small, as if there are several buttons, he the overcrowding.

    I downloaded a program called Styler which changes the appearance to look like Windows 7 or Royal themes. It worked fine for the first days, until that day when my laptop could not start after hibernation, so I hard-rebooted, and the horizontal size of the taskbar button is too small. I tried to restart, change the appearance back, locking/unlocking/resizing of components of taskbar. I wish I could send a screenshot. Yes, I have these vertical bars displayed and all, and no, they do not change it. I use as a separate program called AlienGUIse Alienware, which has not had a problem in 2 years, I got it, and it didn't fix it either.

    Why I say that it is as if there are many buttons clutter is the "group similar taskbar buttons" function. I figured out how to put the picture of the problem in my profile to do this, click on it.

  • Setting of the apps to not appear in app World

    I know how to define apps, so they are removed from sale, but today, I noticed an oddity.

    I have an old approved app that I never put on sale, all of a sudden appear app World today. And I stashed away using the z_ naming thing, if it appeared as z_whatever... rather odd looking.

    This old approved app was a bug, which I corrected and published as a new application a while ago. Since this is app World: already, no need for a duplicate with odd naming.

    Is it possible for me to set it so that it remains simply 'not for sale' forever? I want to really, really there was a way to remove the apps correctly our portal provider - or a way to turn a trusted application that was never actually released in a project. I have also some other apps I picked up and I am in the process of repairing upward in a paid app, so ideally, I hope there's a way to prevent the smaller versions of freebie arise randomly for sale too.

    Have you tried just head tilting to sell and then removing from BlackBerry World again?

    I have a friend, who was also in the same situation with the 2 versions of the same application, which has received a BlackBerry mail that one of his apps was not for sale. In the letter, they said they would sell him if he did not mail that they shouldn't do the app. So he had to confirm that they can not post it for sale.

    So it could be that you have received such an email also, but it was sent in your folder spam or something.

  • Font size of text too small shows in some programs and applications

    Original title: small TEXT in some programs and Applications on PC.

    Hello.

    I'm having some trouble trying to read the TEXT in some of my PC applications. It does not happen in all the and can have a mix of large and small TEXT in a box (I've included a screenshot of my desktop to show an example).

    I tried to fix this with the methods are: -.

    1. Settings in the appearance of control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization\Window and Appearance\Advanced color
    2. Text control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\Screen Resolution\Make and other larger and smaller

    Looking at the screenshot, the box " ""Taskbar and Start Menu Properties"" " you can see the text is fine to read! Below, right-click on the desktop, the box that opens is reading too! "Right out of the box beside it, the ' system properties ' is almost impossible to read without having to screen! Above this area is the "ASUS AI SUITE", you can see the text is small and the numbers are too. I can read about the column titles, but can not read temperatures, the rpm or tensions. Finally is the box ' PC PROBE II ', once again, a mixture of small and large text.

    For the life of me, I don't understand why it started to happen, or when it started. I have not installed, changed or deleted something for awhile also.

    Thank you.

    Hi Tyrone Rimmell,

    Please provide the screen shot as it helps a lot to better understand the issue. We appreciate the efforts you have put in to solve this problem. Do not worry, we will try our best to solve the problem.

    This problem may occur due to a problem with synchronization between the logon process Explorer and Win. When this condition occurs, certain fonts/size get resized automatically.

    I suggest check the steps in the following article and check if it works:

    When you change the DPI on Windows 7 setting, some fonts can be resized too big or too small
