Disclaimer probably required #209

We should probably add a window when the app first launches that displays a disclaimer to the effect that we're getting our data from nextbus and it is not guaranteed to be accurate.

remulasce commented 9 years ago

Ugh. Popup windows are so lame on startup.

nighelles commented 9 years ago

You'd only have to do it once the first time they open the app.

remulasce commented 9 years ago

Yeah. That's what's lame. That's literally their first impression of the app. We should at least wait until the user knows the app is useful at all before we start bothering him/her.

nighelles commented 9 years ago

I mean, it's a liability thing. If you want to eat the liability, I dunno.

nighelles commented 9 years ago

Maybe put the warning at the bottom of the app description.

remulasce commented 9 years ago

It's in the app description and in the Legal / Info button. What kind of liability do you expect we're assuming?
