PowerCenter Pro – All-In-One Notification Widget Now Having PreSale Event
Widgets are growing more and more popular as iOS 5 inches closer to a release. iOS developer Aaron Wright (@WrightsCS) is about to release a widget named PowerCenter Pro. This widget includes all the components anyone might need to manage their iOS device quickly from the Notification Center. not only is management a key component of this application, but the ability to view different types of important information directly from the Notification Center comes in handy pretty often. The widget shares the same functionality as SBSettings and UISettings (which is no longer available due to the developer leaving the community for a short period of time). PowerCenter Pro includes toggles from the following: Lock (Device Lock) Respring Safe Mode Turn Off (Shutdown) Reboot Airplane Mode Data Bluetooth Location Wifi Volume Brightness Share (Twitter/Facebook) Settings All of which are followed by a Donate button in case you want to show some support to the developer. The first page in the widget includes a screen that shows you information such as the amount of free RAM you have, your Wi-Fi IP, your firmware, and your iDevice. This specific informaiton can be useful for a different variety of reasons including your IP for SSH and free ram for performance purposes, etc. The second page shows you what percentage your battery is at (similar to Aaron’s standalone application; Battery Center). The following pages include the various toggles mentioned above. One of the coolest things about this widget that makes it stand out is the safeguard that was implemented. You have to swipe your finger from side to side to access the different pages which house the toggles and features mentioned. To prevent you from accidentally clicking one of the toggles, there is a safeguard, which is a window that appears confirming whether you want to perform the function or cancel out. This safeguard will definitely prove to be useful to many. PowerCenter Pro also puts an icon on your SpringBoard in case you want to further customize the widget. There is also a theme section, where the app opens up to themers, designers, and the like so that the look and feel of PowerCenter Pro can fit your taste. There will be a featured Themes section, so that people can view which themes are most popular after some well-designed themes are released. There will probably be themes directly on Cydia to buy / download for when development picks up. As of right now, PowerCenter Pro has not yet been released on Cydia but should be soon. When it does hit Cydia, it will be available for $2.49. Due to its incorporation of the Notification Center, PowerCenter Pro is only available to those on iOS 5 firmwares. The developer has also opened up a pre-sale event for those who want the application early and at a cheaper price. The pre-sale will save you $1.49, making you pay only $1 for the whole widget. You will have access to links before the release on Cydia. The information about this can be found directly on the following website: Presale – PowerCenter Pro. If you want to give the application a test, a free version of PowerCenter Pro (PowerCenter) can be downloaded on the developer’s repository. The free version lacks some core features that make the Pro version significantly better but it is a good way to test the waters. The repository is: https://cydia.wrightscs.com/ To keep up to date with the developer and his work on PowerCenter Pro, you can follow Aaron on Twitter. You can also view his website for more information about his other products and his current projects. Authors:
