HTC Ice View for Android
Please, please, please increase the time notifications are displayed for!! I would love for them to be displayed until such time as the user decides to clear them. I understand that this would drain the battery, but it should be up to the user to decide that, and select whichever option best suits them and their needs. Several times I have missed messages etc, as I've not seen them before the timeout, and then only seen them when I've needed to use my phone for something else.
December 2016 update now means clock is bigger than the "countdown" circle, weather icon is distorted and notifications no longer visible. As the whole idea of the App is to be able to read notifications without opening the phone makes it useless.
Pretty good for most things. There is one issue I do have with it, though relatively minor but still annoying. When ice view picks up SoundCloud playing in the background, the circle that indicates song playback position keeps resetting. Other than that I would suggest the ability to change the colors of ice view. Missed opportunity in my opinion.
Not good enough, needs more options and customisation, colour change at the very least and different clock types. Also the Ice view case is very overpriced and flimsy
All in all it does its job most of the time, keyword is most* My dream wish for it though is custom colors but till then I will patiently wait.
A great idea that's applied in a poor fashion. Not nearly enough functionality. Needs to be developed to be of any use. When using ITunes you cannot advance through songs from cover.
The application is fantastic, but more time to read notifications and more personalisation would be nice. Games simple arcade games like Snake, PAC MAN, Space Invaders and Block Breaker to bypass the time without flattering the battery to much would also be a nice touch.
Why are there no additional themes other than the stock theme? I loved the M8 Dot Matrix case because there were hundreds of different themes you could download and apply and holiday themes that would appear automatically on christmas, halloween, new year's, etc., the new case has exactly ONE theme...how is it that the newer version of this case has far less functionality than the old one? The Ice View case does nothing that the old one did, it's totally boring.
Enjoyed the ice view until the latest update. Now the clock doesn't fit in the circles properly, and the weather icon seems squashed at the bottom of the screen. Hopefully it is fixed soon.
Installed the new update and now Ice View is bigger and I can't access most of the functions of it like the music controls and the viewing of notifications or even the weather, it just doesn't appear anymore, fix this please..
The case is really cool but for some time the weather just hasn't been showing as if it couldn't connect. Are there any workarounds for that?
I don't even use this stupid case but I'm stuck with an app that runs in the background and that can't be disabled because of it, good job HTC. Nougat update, still unable to disable Ice View, fanfreakingtastic!
Really cool idea. Definitely an attention grabber. More customization in the form of fonts and colors would be cool, but then again the standard ones look really sharp and I like to change fonts and stuff often to keep things fresh. Very functional with the cover on too.
I like it..... but what's happened to the quirky little animations at Christmas, New Year, Valentine's Day, my birthday, etc .... bring them back please. It worked great on the dot matrix case on my old HTC M8 and put fun into a boring phone case!!!
Latest update just ruined it, everything is now zoomed even the restart didn't help. Update was released for the support of Android N but N isn't available yet in India.
I have always been an HTC person since my first smartphone was the Desire HD. HTC really does just sit in the corner and really is quietly brilliant. This is an innovative case that allows useful functionality to a phone case. Maybe in the future you could add different themes like with the dot view, I don't know how easy it would be though. To all the haters, try to be fair this app and case are cool. My HTC devices really have been attention grabbers in a sea of Samsung and Apple.↖(^ω^)↗ Keep doing what you're doing HTC and you will be on the right track to making your comeback!
After nougat update on the htc 10 the look and feel of the app with the tap closed looks streched and disorganized, it didnt look like the image you show
Please provide users a way to disable the app. For a user not using the app, there is no necessity for it to run its services and processes in the background and drain phone's battery . Thanks !
Wouldn't it be great if you told us what this application is for? Wouldn't it be even greater if it could be removed since it has absolutely no reason to be on my phone?
Great, but theres a problem with google music player , the song keep reseting or going back when paused. Otherwise we want mire features, that would be cool.
Excellent app, love it but the last update has broken the app, can only see one email in the cover instead of swiping for the next email. Step backwards in functionality.
Factory reset my HTC10 only to discover, after reboot, that I could not update my Ice View app and the following message: "Your device isn't compatible with this version." Really? I have an HTC 10 with up-to-date OS and security patches and Ice View worked fine before my reset. Pls help. While the app is somewhat functional, I want this to work again. Many thanks. 5 stars when it's fixed!
I don't have the ice cover I am never going to get the ice cover so why am I forced to have the app which constantly updates, costing me valuable storage and download time I don't want it I don't need please allow me uninstall it
Doesn't work properly any more. Where circular buttons appear to control phone or apps (eg sonos) the buttons no longer respond. swiping works.
Good app but double tap to wake up won't work. Would be 5 if this worked. Was the main feature I bought the case for
Ever since the Android update to 7.0 ice view has been terrible. It constantly freezes my phone and I have to wait for it to reboot itself since there is no way to remove the battery. I tried turning off the boost+ battery optimization but it seems to have made it worst.
There is an issue now where my ice view is not displaying properly. The clock no longer shows but my ice view shows the music play controls but no music is playing and all my apps are closed. Edit: Now nothing except music controls show but nothing is playing on my phone. Nothing else shows.
Great but could be improved with more features I would like to see calculator or flashlight for example. I don't use camera swipe down since there is already double swipe down gesture for camera (with screen off) so I would put calculator instead.
There is no Ice View Case for the HCT Bolt....... please HTC Team can you explain why? and will there be one in the near future, I will buy it if it's available!
Can't remove or disable this app. Or other apps that install bad adware from HTC on the 10. It will be part of the reason HTC goes away.
I don't want this or an ice view case. Says it's running in the background and I don't like the permissions it has. I want to disable this app and I should be able to. HTC, you need to allow us to remove this app or at least disable it.
The latest update disoriented the ui on my ice view screen
Causes phone to freeze whenever I attempt to activate the camera, or dial numbers.
It's beautiful and have useful features...but i will love it more if u gv us more freedom in style and themes like what u put in dot view case
Gets a bad grade cause it will not let me uninstall it.
Very good but plz if you can add more color or other theme same old case dot view case
Text message icon keeps displaying on Ice View although I have no new messages and all text messages have been read. Please make an update to repair this. Thanks.
New update is very bad. I can't work with it
Case is falling apart at the bottom seem, plus depending on how you hold it the magnet can put it to sleep randomly, so annoying, I even take my HTC 7 out with me because the camera is way better than the 10 I'm seriously considering changing brands, come on HTC

I'm missing some stuff. Like why only 15 seconds before time out? I would love to have like 5 minutes before time out. And no time out when charger is connected. Also weather forecast only shows when you don't have ANY notifications at all? But when dont you have any notifications?!? Plz move the weather forecast to another location on the screen and leave it on all the time. Plz plz plz
