Developer Notes: updating is not hard – TotalHRWorks Review

It wouldn't take much to update this app. I've only been developing a short while and, this app is already set up quite simply. It really just needs several hours of effort put into it to give it some very welcome updates. At this point, you get 1 star simply due to the obvious lack of effort to maintain this app at all. #1 - Most requested feature: TouchID Seriously. Almost everyone who's bought an iPhone in the last 1-2 years has it. Apple has made this fairly simple to implement in your app, you just have to do it. A suggestion for implementation: Three "quick" buttons, "In," "Out," "Login." Each button triggers an instance of TouchID for authentication. #2 - Update the appearance of the app Please review Apple's iOS Human Interface Guidelines. By the looks of it, you haven't reviewed these since the Spring of 2013 or earlier (before Apple's major design change in iOS7). Your app looks and feels woefully outdated. Your buttons' icons and app flow are all fine, but the style needs an overhaul. This would simply be reprocessing each of your existing images' raw files to alter backgrounds and gradients to give them a more modern feel. #3 - Allow for multi-tasking Particularly after TouchID has been implemented, this would be particularly useful. These days, we find ourselves doing more and more on our mobile devices, so it's a huge pain to have to start your session over every time you switch to a different app. When the app moves to an inactive state, have it load a TouchID view over the top, which is simply removed after the login to reveal the previous view. #4 - Why is the time on the home screen? I'm not sure if that's useful at all since the iPhone's clock is at the top already.
