Updates are coming….

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Please make sure that you check this developer blog via the web or via our apps for the latest updates and news on what is coming. You can also use the “more apps” tab to monitor when new versions are up and coming and/or have been released. Of course, you can always check the app store as our updates will always be free and you will be notified when they are available.

In any case. As we have already promised – our updates that allow you to subscribe, rate, comment, and favorite videos using your YouTube account are almost ready for our final stages of testing. These will be available in the next release of the Unofficial iJustine AND Unofficial Shane Dawson apps. We are on track to have these updates completed this weekend and will submit them to Apple for review the first part of next week.

The update will be available as soon as they clear the app store approval process, so we recommend that you check back on the app store, our blog, or in the more apps tab in our apps next week for this major update. We will post again once the updates are available, or if there are any unforseen delays – so check back often to see what’s new 😉

Unofficial iJ – v1.2 available soon….

Monday, January 25th, 2010

So – we’re excited that v1.2 of our “Unofficial iJustine Browser and Player” will be available soon. There are some minor bug fixes in this version, however, the most notable changes are as follows:

  • Minor User interface tweaks (Making the “Share” and “Action” buttons stand out a little more and fit nicely with the application theme.
  • Search Capability has been added to all of the mobile video screens.  The beauty is that the search actually filters only content on the channel chosen.  So if you are on the YouTube tab (which is iJustine’s main channel) and you search for “Cheeseburger”, you will only get results matching “cheeseburger” on her main channel.  This makes it even easier to locate her content and share it with your friends using the Facebook or eMail sharing options when you press the “Share” button.
  • We built an entirely new screen for browsing iJustine’s latest store items.  This list automatically features the latest 20 items that iJustine has released to her store.  You can view large images of each item, and use the Action button to share it with a friend via facebook or e-mail, or even go directly to the selected item in the store via a built-in browser.
  • We’ve added network status monitoring so that while you are moving – the number of listing results in the mobile video viewers will automatically be adjusted depending on what type of connection you have.  If you are connected via WiFi – 20 results are displayed with each fetch.  If you are on a cellular connection, 6 results are displayed with each fetch.  This has been done to keep the app responsive, quick, and fun to use.
  • We’ve added a screen for “Dev Blog” – which monitors the very blog you are reading now.  That way, you can always stay up to date with common issues, concerns, as well as new developments and features we are working on.

Of course – we always remind you to check the “More Apps” tab frequently to stay up-to-date with what is new from GeekUtils.  Stay tuned – this is only the beginning.

Unofficial iJ App Now Available

Well, it’s official.  Our first project entitled “Unofficial iJustine – Browser and Player” has made it’s way into iTunes and is now available for iPod Touch and iPhone customers worldwide.  For those of you who don’t know who iJustine is – well, you’re missing out.  She is an up and coming vlogger, sketch comedianne, techno geek, mac addict, and all around cool gal.  We’ve been following her now for quite some time, and noticed that there isn’t really a good way to follow her particular combination of content easily from one conveniant app.

In steps our new app.  We think it’s a really cool little app and plan on reusing the codebase to support other popular internet phenoms like iJustine.  This first iteration is basically a read-only version that we are using to test the waters and track the popularity of such an app.  We are already working on v1.2 and v1.3 (v1.1 was the initial launch to the store) – which will add new functionality that allows you to rate and comment the vlogger’s youtube content.  This functionality will be very important to the future success of the application, because one of the key ways that bloggers/vloggers use to communicate with their fan base is the comment system.  Additionally, we plan to replace the twitter feed functionality in this next version with a newer, faster version.

The goal of this series of apps is to allow you to follow your favorite blogger or vlogger and all of the media outlets that they may utilize from a single place.  Are you an iJustine fan?  Are you curious as to who she is – check out our app – we think you’ll like what you see!  If you want to see what iJustine is up to – visit her website by clicking here.
