Lifetiler 1.2 for iOS and macOS

Document Settings now displaying properly at 190% text size, with larger emoji for tiles not in date ranges

I’ve released a new version of Lifetiler, with a few small features and some accessibility fixes:

  • Features
    • Pinch-to-zoom is now supported in the Tiles view, both on iOS and macOS. The slider at the bottom of the screen to change tile size is still there, but now you can also use pinch-to-zoom, or the zoom rotor setting in VoiceOver.
    • On macOS, you can now change the width of the ‘Export as Image’ and ‘Document Settings’ panels
  • Fixes for large font sizes on iOS and iPadOS
    • I’ve fixed several screens where text was cut off or just poorly laid-out at larger font sizes.
    • I’ve made sure tiles scale according to the font size setting, as the default size for the main ‘Tiles’ screen, in the ‘List’ screen/pane, and for the list of existing symbols when adding a date range, and settings for how to show tiles not in date ranges, or in simplified mode (where all tiles within date ranges are shown as the same symbol.)
  • Fixes for VoiceOver (and probably other assistive technologies)
    • I’ve made the VoiceOver interface correctly reflect what is seen in simplified mode, and for empty tiles
    • I’ve fixed a bug whereby the tiles in the existing symbols list, and settings for how to show tiles not in date ranges, or in simplified mode, were not accessible to VoiceOver if they were currently set to coloured squares rather than emoji.
