Bluetooth Sensors are Hard

I’ve been messing with the process of connecting to bluetooth sensors to try to make it a little more elegant. It has been a tough balance between doing things in a way that is easy to program, but also intuitive for the user to interact with. Early on in development of this app I had a very rudimentary workflow established that was clunky, but essentially worked, and allowed me to move on to develop different facets of the application.

Now that I have ironed out a lot o the other screens, and calculations inside the app I’ve made a couple different attempts at improving the bluetooth sensor connection process. I believe I have finally landed on something that is easier to interact with that isn’t too convoluted in the background.

During the development of this app it has been tough to find the balance between cranking out code to add or updated sections to the app while also slowing down and taking a step back to look at the application as a user who doesn’t necessarily know how things “should” work.

A new update is currently being reviewed by Apple and should be available within the next few days.
