Happy Holidays and Thank You’s

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

As we come up upon the holiday season, I just wanted to take a moment to say Happy Holidays and best wishes to all.

I also wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all of the downloads and support. Since January, our free apps have logged over 8.5 million unique sessions across nearly a half million downloads, and we are now averaging one app usage every 2 seconds worldwide. This is amazing and very humbling for a tiny company like GeekUtils – I can’t possibly thank everyone enough for giving us a chance and installing our apps on your device.

We couldn’t get to that point without partnering with some great YouTube celebrities, and we thank all of those who have given us the opportunity to work with them to provide their official applications into the app store.

Finally, I want to send a quick thank you to everyone who has taken the time to contact us using the “About” tab in any of our apps. Whether it be a user asking how to use a particular feature in our apps, or contacting us to make a feature suggestion – we appreciate that you are taking time out of your schedule to share your comments. In the end, it’s only by interaction with our valuable users that we can continue to add new features and functions, and make our apps into the experience that works well for everyone.

Updated: Known Facebook Outage

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

Looks like the facebook connect site has a certificate issue. What does this mean? It means until they fix the problem, sharing to facebook from any of our applications using the facebook API is not available.

We have submitted a bug report to facebook which has been confirmed by other app developers as well. We hope they resolve this issue quickly. In the meantime, posting to facebook using pretty much any iPhone application using Facebook’s official API is affected.

Updated 8:30AM EST 11/17/2010 – Facebook appears to be working normally now. All share functionality for third party apps has resumed normal function.

PhillyD, AnnoyingOrange, and stirfryTV App Updates Available

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

Thanks to an awesomely fast response by Apple, the updates we mentioned yesterday for PhillyD, AnnoyingOrange, and stirFryTV are now available in the app store.

The actual versions are as follows:

PhillyD Official 2.2.2
Unofficial AnnoyingOrange 2.2.2
stirfryTV 1.2.2

NOTE: To determine if you have the latest version of any of our applications, you can simply view the “About” tab (on most apps, this is located on the “More” tab) – the version you have is listed in the lower right corner of the screen.

These updates resolve the issue that some were seeing on older devices running iPhone OS 3.x. If you are using iPhone OS 3.x, please download these as soon as possible to get you back up and enjoying the experience you have always enjoyed from our apps.

To download the update, please simply launch the app store on your device and the updates should appear. If they do not yet appear, please be patient – it takes up to 24 hours from the launch of an update for it to be available in all countries via the app store.

If you gave the previous update a negative review in the app store due to the playback bug, please take a couple of seconds to re-rate the application after the fix. We appreciate your patience and thank you in advance!

Issue with Latest update and iOS 3.x

Sunday, November 14th, 2010

A couple of people who still have not updated to iOS 4.x have reported to us that the latest updates for PhillyD Official, Unofficial AnnoyingOrange, and stirFryTV are not working correctly on their devices.

We are aware of the issue – and will include a fix for this in the updates we are submitting to Apple today (mentioned in yesterday’s blog post).

Unfortunately, iOS 4.x and iPhone OS 3.x are quite different from a developer’s perspective. Trying to support the latest and greatest iOS 4.0 features, while retaining compatibility with 3.x devices is a challenge sometimes.

Our apps have to have functionality that will work on one, but not on the other. Along with this functionality, we need to be aware of which version is running so that we don’t try to execute a routine designed for 4.x on a 3.x device.

We are usually very good about testing to ensure compatibility with older devices, unfortunately, in this scenario – we missed one case that will cause the app to crash on iPhone OS 3.x devices.

The updates will be available shortly – but in the meantime, consider upgrading to iOS 4.x if you are running a 3GS or 3rd generation iPod. Not only does iOS 4 run brilliantly on these devices – there are so many new features that it’s almost silly not to update.

Original iPhone and iPhone 3G users and users of the 1G and 2G iPods may want to hold off due to performance concerns – and this is understandable… but if you have any of the newer devices, you should consider updating.

Twitter issue resolved…

Sunday, November 14th, 2010

After a couple of e-mails and a trouble ticket to Twitter, it appears they have resolved the issue that was causing the twitter views in all of our apps to appear blank.

We have also made changes to the code in our apps that should prevent blank twitter views in the event that Twitter suffers from the same issue in the future. These updates will be automatically included with the next update to all of our apps.

Thank you for your patience over the past few days. We really wish that it was possible to instantly update applications to prevent outages such as this, but unfortunately, all updates to our apps must go through the standard approval process for release to the App Store. We try to respond as quickly as possible, and we thank everyone who takes the time to let us know about issues inside of our apps using the “About” link inside every one of our apps.
