OT: limitations in paid iOS apps

[Colin Holgate]

In this app:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-big-moving-adventure/id740679545?mt=8

the users can set up a custom avatar (see the second screenshot). On starting the app the user can either start a new game or they can find their avatar by swiping a car (that appears where you see the truck). We decided to limit the number of remembered avatars to the last five users. That’s probably ok for most families who are moving house!

The main issue was how hard it would be to find your avatar if your sibling had started up dozens of new games since you had your turn.

Now, much of that wouldn’t apply to your case, you could scroll through a list of names to find the intended user.

Perhaps you could present the last six users as icons, but with the ability to go back more in sets of six. The powers that be might think that it is limited to six, but it’s not really.
