Awesome!! Thank You!

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Hello to all of you that are new to our vlogger apps! Thanks to Charles Trippy’s support and to all of your downloads, the CTFxC app made it all the way to #18 this weekend in the social networking category. That’s HUGE… it means that the “Internet Killed Television” app beat LinkedIn and TweetDeck in downloads on Saturday!

Keep the downloads coming… please use your social networking abilities to tweet the link to the app (http://bit.ly/iktapp) to all of your friends. Let’s see if we can get the CTFxC back in the top 25 and continue the trend!

In the meantime, for all the latest news from our company, GeekUtils, feel free to follow us on Twitter (@GeekUtils).

Thanks again for your downloads and we hope you are enjoying the app! If you have any questions, problems, or feature suggestions please use the about tab in the app to contact the developer.

Thanks,

Bob

Happy Easter! Education TV on Sale!

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

As an introductory offer, our newest app, called Education TV is on sale for $0.99. That’s 50% off the normal price of $1.99!

What is Education TV? Based upon our wildly popular YouTube framework, Education TV provides easy access to the channels of over 335 colleges and universities from YouTube EDU. Thats over 60,000 videos for less than the cost of your average magazine!!

If you are a current college student, a high school student looking to see what the colleges you are considering attending are up to, or the parent of a high school or college student – this app is perfect for you.

The list of supported universities is periodically (and automatically) updated, and the video listings are always immediately up to date with the latest from each university.

Additionally, and just like our popular Vlogger apps, you can rate/comment/subscribe/favorite your favorite videos right through the app!

We also provide a generic search that provides access to the entire Education category on YouTube – which means that you can use the app for researching universities or educational topics even if they don’t tie directly to one of the 335+ universities on the “Channels” tab.

Check it out… we think you’ll like it ;).

You can go directly to the app in iTunes using the “More Apps” tab from any of our existing apps, or you can go directly to iTunes on your computer by clicking here or visiting http://bit.ly/edutv

YouTube upgrade issues…

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

As you are probably aware, YouTube performed a site-wide upgrade on Wednesday that changed the format (look) of the site.  The buzz around the net from many popular YouTubers is that these upgrades were not just on the surface level.  Many YouTubers are having problems uploading videos, and we’ve noticed small service disruptions and issues within the developer tools that we use to dynamically retrieve video listings in our apps.

Due to these sporadic issues, you may receive errors when fetching video listings, searching, or performing YouTube community features.  Please be patient – our apps are functioning as expected and the errors are indicating problems retrieving data from YouTube – not errors within the actual app itself.  We can assure you that YouTube is aware of any problems, and hopefully they will be resolved very soon.

Additionally, we have seen many reports from YouTube celebs that video upload and processing is taking longer than normal.  Due to this extra processing time, it is likely that there will be a slight delay before videos appear in our apps for playback.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us using the About tab in any of our apps.

YouTube upgrades today…

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

YouTube is currently in the process of updating their service. We have had sporadic reports today that this has caused issues with some of our apps resuming YouTube sessions upon startup. This error is temporary. If your session is logged out, or if our framework is unable to resume your session, you will be presented with an error message.

If you see this error – video playback and other functionality should continue to function normally, it is only the community functions (rate, comment, subscribe, etc) that will be affected.

Of course, there may be other sporadic outages while YouTube performs this maintenance (and, perhaps in the days following if any “bugs” are discovered). If you see any other error messages, during this transitional time, don’t panic – our apps will resume normal function once YouTube is back to normal operation.
