This looks cool! Can't seem to sign up right now though: I can't move past the "Know what's nearby" location permission onboarding screen – I'm assuming tapping "Continue" should show the system location permission alert, but nothing ever happens :( Running iOS 13.1.3, happy to provide any more info.
Small suggestion beside that for onboarding: it'd be really useful if the "Set a password" onboarding screen let me generate a strong password via the iOS system UI, so that it'd also get auto-saved/auto-filled in my iCloud Keychain.
@iamsebj We have had several people mention the location permission issue. If you force quit the app and come back it should resolve itself. Sorry for the inconvenience. Our engineers are working to resolve this. We will also look into iOS Strong Password. Thank you for the feedback!
@mjboswell Thanks – force quit once and still had the issue earlier, but worked just now :)
Bit more feedback:
The onboarding tip descriptions were clear and helpful, and the app feels easy to navigate. A dark mode linked to iOS 13's would be appreciated ;)
I like the curated calendars to subscribe to enough that I'd almost be happy with them in a calendar app on their own, even (if anyone reading this knows of an app like this – let me know!)
Holidays for other countries would be useful, or at least hiding the US holidays for those outside the US perhaps (I'm in the UK). If this meant asking or checking for my country in some way, I think could also solve the issue of Cue listing the wrong dialing prefix for my contacts when a conversation is created (+1 instead of +44 for UK). Similarly, some explanation of what happens when I start a conversation with a contact not on Cue would be really helpful (do they get a text or email, or does nothing happen?)
Maybe it goes against the simplicity/focus of the product, but the ability to either show iOS/iCloud calendar events in Cue's calendar, or have Cue output calendar events you make with friends to one of your device iCloud calendars could be useful (to also see events on desktop through macOS Calendar or any 3rd party calendar client, and to get a fuller picture of my whole calendar).
@iamsebj Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed response. I genuinely really appreciate it. I'll touch on some of the things you mentioned:
Curated Calendars: Note in the filter menu that you can easily turn them off and on. :) I do this often as I have moments where I'm browsing and moments where I just want to see my stuff.
Holidays in other countries: will available in the future.
Connecting to iCal: You achieve what you desire regarding iOS calendar. Just connect a Google account to iOS (which you probably already do for email). Then in Cue Settings connect that Google account. Cue will create a calendar on your Google Calendar account. All your Cue events will be there. It's a really great flow actually. The reason we didn't go with iOS Calendar directly is because their APIs are really bad. Example: your Apple calendar would never update with Cue events unless you opened the app.
Dark mode: in the works.
Helpful feedback around messages to non-Cue users, thank you.
Are there any plans to bring Cue to other platforms? "Your entire friend group needs to be iPhone users" seems like it would be an extremely limiting requirement.
Have been waiting for a product like this for a long time and has become the first app I check every day. Makes it a lot easier to hang out with friends and see what's going on around me
@popydo Haha, fair. Context here was around origin country of the app, I suppose. :-P Either way, we just pushed a quick fix we are testing. Will you let me know if it resolves your issue?
Thanks again for your patience.
