Minor UI Fixes

User reviews

The App does not work at all

On my iPhone 14 Pro I cannot get the App to recognize the Raspberry Pi Pico or Raspberry Pi Pico W this should be fixed.

Nice idea..

The board scanner could be useful if it actually worked. Spent 10 mins trying to get it to recognise a Pico, it briefly flashed up at one point but lost the tracking less than a second later. I played with lighting, distance, background, on and off a breadboard, but could make it work consistently in any combination on an iPhone 14 😟

Like Magic!

So fun and such a great teaching tool for those with iPhones. Can’t wait to see the Raspberry Pi Pico W and CPB in here. Great work!

Wish it would work

Can't get the board scanner to work, the AR playground crashes the app to home screen immediately.
iPhone 13 Pro Max iOS 16.1.2

Not worth anyone’s time

Before I start: I like Adafruit as a company and use a lot of their products. Great tutorials.
The board scan fails even under good light conditions and provides an unstable indication of a board’s pinoutt when it works. No option to freeze the scan. Nice idea, but a complete fail.
