My new iPad App "Harken"

Hacker News

https://itunes.apple.com/app/id540251190 Why did I make Harken? Well, I use my iPad in my car connected to my car stereo and have it mounted on the dash. I was using the Apple built-in Music app but I found it quite difficult to use - it's quite hard to hit some of the buttons and choose tracks with my arm stretched right out, the text is too small, and it requires too many taps when all I want to do is choose an album to listen to. So I created Harken to be much easier to use in that environment but then I realised it would also be great if you have your iPad connected to a home hi-fi and like to see the album cover of what is currently playing from across the room. The same can be said if you have the iPad sitting on your desk while you work. The main selling points of the app are: - choose music based on album cover art, like you used to with a vinyl collection - see what's currently playing with a clean, easy to read interface - control playback with the absolute minimum number of gestures and large hit points for ease of use
