I started Android dev using with Eclipse. Moving to Android Studio made everything much, much smoother (except for builds, which take slightly longer now).
Android Studio is much better for showing views in multiple form factors.
This reduces load time from about 2+ minutes to 15 seconds and similarly makes debugging apps much, much smoother.
Things that still bother me (as a converted iOS developer):
* Java's lack of anonymous functions (blocks in iOS)
* having to design for many more form factors
* no standard core data function
* not being able to ignore Android 2.* market share (seriously, this lacks even a simple Action Bar)
* managing 4+ pixel densities for assets
Haven't tried it myself yet but the latest Support Library includes a supposedly full-featured ActionBar. That would make it suck much less. Just in time for 2.x to start fading away.
I would suggest making that call to action bigger. I did not notice the enlarged key on the keyboard until it was pointed out here on HN. I just thought it was the usual keyboard stock art.
But otherwise this site looks great. Captured my email.
I did the exact same thing. Pretty sure I mentally checked out at that point. I didn't even pay attention to the screenshot on the screen though that's also standard at this point.
Wow, I had never thought of this, but it seems completely obvious now. I wish music players took advantage of this (rdio in particular) so that they would better signal what's playing.
Definitely something I will think of including in my next app.
Two small things you can easily fix:
* Your app icon corners are wonky, probably because you aren't making them square for the large images. Apple will do the cropping for you.
* Same thing with the screenshot, I would make sure it's the right resolution so you don't get artifacts.
But these are superficial things that you can fix easily. Congrats again for launching.
I noticed that the app icon was weird. I realised earlier that it's because I uploaded the rounded version rather than the square one.
Regarding the app store screenshots, I've uploaded the right sizes (taken on iPhone 5 and simulator for iPhone 4) so I'm not sure what's happened there.
