ShayTards App Update pending…

Sunday, September 19th, 2010

ShayCarl recently changed his iPhone youtube channel from iphonetards to iphonetard.

We had already submitted an update to Apple using the first channel.  We just discovered the change thanks to someone who e-mailed us, and we have updated our submission to Apple to reflect the correct channel name.

Unfortunately, this means that the update may be delayed.  Normally when you remove your application from review and then re-add it, it will (understandably) make you go back to the back of the line in the approval process.

We hope to see this update in the store soon.  As soon as it is available, we will let everyone know – thanks for your patience!

Updates coming for iJustine and ShayTards

Sunday, September 12th, 2010

Many of you have contacted us and have asked us to add the new iPhoneTards and facebook content streams to the Unofficial ShayTards app.  Similarly, many have asked us to add the ijustineforgot twitter stream to the unofficial iJustine app.

We just submitted updates to Apple that contain all three of these items.  They should be available in the app store in the coming days.

Keep the suggestions coming – we love hearing from the users of our apps!

Why you need to set date and time correctly.

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

We’ve gotten a couple of people who have e-mailed us over the past couple of months where they tell us that in any of our apps, none of the videos will play.

The solution for this problem is simple.  When the iPod touch, iPad (and iPhones on some carriers) go completely dead, they lose the date and time settings.   The YouTube authorization algorithm requires that the date and time are set properly, because the device receives authorization for a given timeframe to play a video.

If the date and time settings are wrong, when YouTube sends back an authorization timeframe, it will always be wrong versus your device, so the videos will not play.

You would also notice that when your date and time are incorrectly set, you cannot download from the app store.  For these reasons, it is always important to make sure to reset your time settings if you ever allow the iPod or iPhone to go completely dead.

Happy YouTubing!

Several App Updates Released!

Monday, June 21st, 2010

The updates for all of our vlogger apps have been approved by Apple.  Please check the app store for updates at your earliest convenience.  The latest updates significantly enhance the way the video descriptions are rendered on the phone.  With these latest updates, “links in the underbar” now appear correctly, and are clickable!  Now, not only can you watch content from your favorite vlogger, but you can even navigate all of their links right from inside our app(s).

Also, for users of the PhillyD Official app – the Phillyd.tv web viewer now includes a back button.  This way, when you navigate to a single image or other static content – you are not “stuck” without a way to go back!

Thanks again to everyone who has contacted us with suggestions on how to improve our apps.  We hope that you enjoy these new updates.
