Apple iPhone School » Open http://www.appleiphoneschool.com Learn how to use, hack and mod the Apple iPhone, iPad & iPod touch Wed, 11 Jan 2012 03:33:10 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://www.appleiphoneschool.com http://www.appleiphoneschool.com/favicon.ico Apple iPhone School StayOpened – Keep App Store Open While Installing Apps http://www.appleiphoneschool.com/2010/12/09/stayopened-keep-app-store-open-while-installing-apps/ http://www.appleiphoneschool.com/2010/12/09/stayopened-keep-app-store-open-while-installing-apps/#comments Thu, 09 Dec 2010 20:17:54 +0000 Brooke http://www.appleiphoneschool.com/?p=25404 StayOpened is an application that keeps the App Store application open while the app downloads in the background. Normally, the App Store app closes as soon as you select “install” and then gives you the little pop-up for your iTunes password. This app keeps the App Store open. You still get the password pop-up but you get to stay in the App Store and the apps download in the background. This is helpful for those times when you want to give a few apps a try. Instead of closing, reopening, closing, reopening… you can just install them all!

When you install StayOpened, it will be added into the stock Settings application. You will need to go in and turn the app On. There is also an option to turn on the “Purchase Confirmation Title.” This option allows you to change the word “purchase” when you select an app to buy. You are able to customize the word “purchase” by typing in a new Title. If you turn on the “Purchase Confirmation Title” option, don’t forget to type something into the title or it will just display blank and that is a little confusing… trust me!

Once I got things figured out… this app worked great. I did not have any issues with install or updating apps in the App Store. Everything downloaded in the background like it was supposed to. A helpful little hack if you ask me. You can get StayOpened via the modmyi source.

It is nicely optimized for the iPhone making it a great way to quickly look up recipes. “Amazing Recipes. Delicious Food. Beautiful Photography. Created and rated by you and fellow food-lovers from all over the world.” They are exactly right on this…the recipes and the photography are very good! When you go to OpenSourceFood.com on your iPhone, you will get a list of 20 Recently Popular Recipes. When you select a recipe, you will be able to see who the recipe was submitted by, a list of the ingredients needed and instructions on how to make the recipe. You can also choose to view all the recipes by the person who submitted the current recipe by selecting View All Recipes by. The bests feature of the iPhone optimized version of the site is the Search. You can search by any keyword and it will bring up recipes that contain that word in the title. The only downfall is that is seems to only bring up 20 results and there is no way to view more. It would be nice if there was a “more results” option at the end of the list.

Though I like the iPhone optimized version of the website for quickly looking up recipes…it does lack quite a few features of the full site. On the full site you are able to view recent comments, you can Browse the recipes, view the All Time Best recipes, view comments on the recipes, search the recipes by tags, search though the people who are register on OpenSourceFood.com and choose to only see results that are submitted by a “pro.” I would love to see some of these options available on the iPhone optimized version of the site via tabs. However, even though the iPhone version of the site does lack some options, I still use it as an quick and easy way to look up new recipes…which I love to do!! Check it out and let me know what you think. Below are some screenshots and a few photos from the website.
