Optimizing -- On our minds all the time!

One of the things we are consistently hearing from the early feedback is when adding the app for the first time, "there are 'no items' appearing right away... and if I come back in a bit then I see many products (from my profile)"

Well to be honest... the app was taking significant time to grab suggestion items from Amazon. Presenting, depending on the items searched, a really bad first time experience.
So after much thought, perspiration and of course genius intellect, we just went live with an 'under the covers' optimization that speeds up product adds for new users of top3Clicks by 75%!!!

Also note, we added some feedback (screenshot below) when we're taking some time to load items into top3Clicks. It feels a ton better...


As always, thanks again for all the wonderful feedback. If you find top3Clicks to be useful, please pass it along to your friends. -- the BaconMarathon team
