What crank issues are there? My main complaint is that I can’t turn it off, so it just sits there slowly draining itself of battery. When I finally feel like playing it every couple of weeks, it always needs to be charged. And when you go to plug it in, you get no feedback that it’s actually charging until the battery gets enough power to turn on the screen, which takes up to 20 mins. By which time, I’m no longer in the mood to fiddle with it.
If only teenage engineering would work on fixing the playdate hardware, specifically the crank issues, before moving on to something like this :/
