STATUS MAGIC BLUETOOTH

You can then select a file in Status Magic to see a preview of the “new” status bar, or hit the gear icon to adjust how the status bar should be generated.

To do batch processing of screenshots – which is what I’m after – simply drag the screenshots onto Status Magic’s bottom panel you can drag items from the Finder, a Mail message, and even directly from iPhoto’s Photo Stream. It can apply clean status bars to multiple screenshots at once, and it works with the latest Apple devices such as the iPhone 5 and Retina iPad. Status Magic lets you replace the status bar in a screenshot with a clean one in just two clicks. Here’s how I described the app in my review last year:

Created by Shiny Development, Status Magic is one of my must-have Mac apps because it solves the status bar problem with ease and a good feature set: once you have the screenshots you need to “clean up”, you can drop them into Status Magic, tweak some options, and export the cleaned up, more professional-looking screenshots with status bar that don’t have six icons in them. It’s a little thing, but I care about it.įortunately, other people care about this minor aspect of iOS apps as well.

STATUS MAGIC BLUETOOTH

For app developers who only have a few slots for screenshots in iTunes, screenshots that don’t have poor cellular reception and rotation lock or Bluetooth icons are essential for a non-sloppy, professional, thoughtful presentation of their product. While it’s generally not the most important aspect of an app review, I do think that using screenshots of iPhone and iPad apps with clean status bars shows a level of care that extends beyond the written text. I don’t like screenshots of iOS apps that show status bars cluttered with icons for carriers and Bluetooth, or, worse, red battery indicators.
