Dave Nott mulls a mesh wifi network to improve his home connectivity. Meanwhile, Dave Wood has pushed a big button to leave behind a web host he's used for years, and taken his sites to Linode.

Dave Nott faces a sudden lack of motivation to work on iOS side projects. We discuss how the current climate may be having an impact, and what can be done to rebuild motivation when it vanishes.

After a bumpy start, Dave Nott has his new iPad. One problem, he doesn't really know what to do with it...

How we identify and avoid getting sucked into time sinks and rabbit holes. A timely episode as this week, Dave Nott has managed to (almost) dodge one while designing his new iOS app. * Dave Nott (https://twitter.com/_davenott) Dave Wood (https://twitter.com/davidgarywood) Waiting For Review (https://twitter.com/wfrpodcast) Music by Broke For Free (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Broke_For_Free/Something_EP/Broke_For_Free-Something_EP-_05_Something_Elated) License, CC Attribution 3 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/) Special Guest: Monty.

Dave Nott has taken an iOS dev hiatus these last few weeks, whilst completing a Raspberry Pi based Arcade Machine. He's had time to consider his motivations for making apps at all and wonders what will become of his next iOS app once it's complete. Set up an indie-ios-shop again, or keep it as a portfolio piece to land a jobby-job?

We’ve started diving deeper into our on demand tv services. We discuss our respective experiences of Apple TV and the news of tighter integration of Amazon’s Prime video to the platform.

With both of us in lockdown on our respective sides of the globe, we discuss how we're adjusting, keeping up with our development projects and think about what lasting good could potentially come from this terribly sad situation.

We hope you're all staying safe and well. With everything going on right now, we decided to take some comfort in the shiney new Apple toys that landed recently, and to indulge ourselves in the details of it all.

Dave Wood returns to the show after taking some time out to recover from a bump to head. We catch up with how Dave is recovering, and how we sometimes need to pull various levers to keep things in check with our work and life balance.

In a suprise turn of events, (Daryl) Baxter joins Dave Nott for an impromptu episode as Dave Wood recovers from a concussion.

It's easy to hold on to a personal identity for longer than you should. After a hard nudge from the universe, Dave Wood considers if his has changed since moving to New Zealand and ponders his next app development move.

Dave Wood gets an unexpected upgrade to a Series 5 Apples Watch, which sparks a new Apple Watch app idea. Dave Nott wins a battle with SwiftUI, but was it the right battle to have picked? We discuss bending SwiftUI to our will, vs the benefits of sticking with the defaults.

After another week of frustration, Dave Nott begins to doubt the merits of continuing development with SwiftUI. Would it be easier to down tools and move back to the safety of UIKit to get the job finished? We also discuss the newly announced Mac and iOS App Bundles and go on a rant about free trials and upgrade pricing.

Dave Wood is in week 3 of moving his app from paid to freemium, and is beginning to have some regret. He's discovered some confounding factors, and maybe the opportunity is not what he thought it was.

Both Daves have spent the last week working with SwiftUI. It's quickly becoming apparent that there are some things it simply can't do at this point. Is it the right technology to choose when starting a new app? Or will we regret jumping in on the new shiny? Meanwhile, all this cross-platform development is making Dave Nott consider a development iPad.

Meanwhile Dave Wood catches up with his app's performance since making it free, and where the app is heading next.

Can an app do better in the App Store by moving to a freemium model... Dave Wood is running an experiment with his video mixing app, GoVJ. He's setting it to free, in an effort to run the numbers, to see how things might fare if he changed his pricing model. Will things add up ?
