20. How Soundwave applies new iOS features:
Adaptive Multitasking
Allows for smarter song capture when the app is in the background
Motion Effects
Allows us to remove shadows from the interface and instead convey depth and hierarchy in a
more intuitive manner using this effect
64-bit
Increased processing power allows us to deliver results to the activity feed much quicker,
leading to a richer overall user experience
iOS7 UI Upgrade
New themes like blur effects (allowing us to place artist and song info text over artwork), tint
colour (allowing us to place a greater emphasis on actionable items with less screen real-estate),
and transparent navigation elements (allowing us to set the colour of navigation elements based
on the primary artwork colour which in turn puts a greater emphasis on the artwork) really give
the app a completely revised and refreshed look and feel
