The Continuing Adventures of an iPhone/iPad Developer

After 43 days, I have my first app in the App Store. It is called NextRx and it allows for quickly calculating when prescriptions can be refilled. My wife is a nurse and suggested this idea, so I ran with it as my first app. Right now it is mainly targeted for the iPhone, but I am looking for ideas how to improve and optimize NextRx for the iPad.

This has me thinking about how not every iPhone app, especially utility style apps like this, have an obvious gain in functionality by moving to the iPad. NextRx was designed for quickly and easy data entry, additional screen real estate doesn’t make the app any easier to use. As of right now, I think I will try adding a monthly calendar view that will display the start and end dates.

Beyond that, I don’t really know what else the iPad could offer NextRx. Still trying to get a handle exactly what the iPad offers developers.
