Gamer TV v1.0 Released to App Store

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

We are happy to announce that on Monday, Gamer TV was released for sale in the app store.  This first version contains video feeds from over 90 popular gaming video sources to provide over 45,000 videos for the gaming fanatic.  Anything from app reviews to trailers for new games, this new app is sure to keep you entertained.

As with our other apps – each individual “channel” automatically loads all of the latest video from the source the moment it’s touched.  This means that you have access to the videos as soon as each content provider has uploaded them and they are published for viewing!

On top of this, there is a “Search” tab, which searches the entire gaming category on YouTube and returns the results relavent to your keyword from newest to oldest.  No more do you have to fumble with the iPhone’s built-in YouTube player and sift through hundreds of results to find the newest ones – we’ve done it for you.

Additionally, just like all of the other apps based on our Vlogger framework, you have the ability to log in with your YouTube account and rate/comment/subscribe and favorite any content you like so that it will automatically show up in your YouTube account when you return to your computer.

If you are already using one of our apps to read this post, simply navigate to the “More Apps” function and press the Gamer TV link to download.

If you are reading this post from a computer, please click this link to open iTunes and go directly to the app in the app store.

Many of you may not be aware that we have a twitter account.  Please follow us (@GeekUtils).  We use this account to announce new apps and to distribute information about known outages, bugs, or updates to the app store.

When we release an app to the app store, we have a limited number of “download keys” that we can use for promotional purposes…

Starting soon, we will ask our followers to re-tweet the URL of one of our apps or a specific message to their followers to help us spread the word about our apps.  The first few to retweet the URL or message that we ask to be distributed will receive a promo code to download our latest paid app for free.

Periodically, we may also pick a random user and DM them a promo code for one of our products – this is especially true if we find out that you have told your followers about any of our paid products by @-replying our address.

What are you waiting for?  You don’t have anything to lose and you may get something for free…. give it a shot 🙂
