Last week I updated you all on the web version of Planetary, but today I'm pleased to let you know that I'll soon be submitting a complete rewrite of Planetary to the App Store. There's also a native tvOS and macOS version hot on its heels.
The graphics and performance in this version are better than ever, and the integration with Apple Music and your playlists is much better. The app renderer has been rewritten from the ground up using Apple's Metal technology. This means it can run on iPads or iPhones with Pro Motion at 120fps. The quality of the textures, glows, and graphics has been improved, and I can finally start to build on the original app. It's still limited to Apple Music, but this is more a limit of Spotify at this point. They're sadly very unfriendly to 3rd party developers.
I'm releasing a beta version to my followers. Give it a spin and let me know what you think! There's still a bit of work to do but I wanted to get it out there.
To try it out use this link and install the demo from Apple's Test Flight app. I'd love to know what you think, and I eagerly await any bug/glitch/enhancement/request reports!
