Porting a small screen Android watch app to a ‘normal’ smartphone size

Interestingly, we seem to be the fish swimming against the current – and today ported a ‘watch’ sized mobile app to work on on a phone sized (Android) device.

The original app was designed for Android 1.6 (ImWatch) – and after about 5 minutes tinkering we were left wondering what to do with the extra space available.

I suppose it’s now time to add some more features in – like notifications to a Pebble or a general Settings menu.
