Tips for improving pre-installed apps

Hi, first of all I would like to say that the Mudita Kompakt suits my needs. The limitations of this device is fine, but I would expect the few applications we have available to be a bit more sophisticated. It’s clear to me that the Mudita team is busy at the moment, but I have a few tips for improvements:
Lock screen- editable
Notes- more space for writing, more options for working with fonts(size, italic…)
Calender- more options for reminder, not only 5min
E-book- landscape reading option, copy text option
Meditation(Timer)- ability to set your own time
Maps- I think this app is not quite usable yet, maybe it’s a problem of e-ink technology
Don’t take this as a criticism, you have put up a fight against the windmills and you have my sympathy and support.

As far as Maps, I believe they mentioned the turn-by-turn directions are still coming if that’s what you’re talking about.

Yeah turn my turn needs to come quick, that is the whole reason for a directions tool

I can not imagine using e-ink as a car navigation. By refreshing it blinks a lot.

Second the call for custom reminders on the calendar app, it would also be great to have the ability to add custom recurrences.
Overall loving the device, it’s definitely helping to break my smart phone addiction. Big thanks to the Mudita team!

I would like to see a text-based navigation option in de maps app. This is nicely don in Apple maps. It does not show a map but instead shows every change in direction and a down counting distance to the next turn or whatever. This technology is perfect for e-ink!
