Updates are available… more coming ;)

May 12th, 2010

On Friday, May 7 – the updates we previously announced for our unofficial apps became available for download in the app store.  If you have downloaded our apps since May 7, you’re already up to date.  If you are a long-time user of our products – check the app store.  You can also look at the “About” tab in each app to check the versions.

Revision levels for these apps are now:

  • Unofficial iJustine v1.8
  • Unofficial ShayTards v1.2
  • Unofficial Shane Dawson TV v1.5
  • Unofficial AnnoyingOrange v1.3

We also have submitted a further update to each of our vlogger apps that should be available sometime soon.  This minor update fixes an issue that causes an error to occur only when you are posting a reply to a comment on a YouTube video.  YouTube changed the format of comment IDs, and our code required an update to comply to this new format.

Look for the “.1” updates later this week (for example, Unofficial iJustine will update from v1.8 to v1.8.1).  We are committed to providing all of our customers with the best error and crash free experience with all of our apps, and this update will help us further ensure we are meeting our goals and your expectations.

Thank you for using our apps!  And remember to check out our latest products using the “More Apps” tab in any of our apps!

Unofficial iJustine v1.7 Available

April 23rd, 2010

The update that we submitted to Apple last Saturday has been approved by Apple and is now available as an update in the app store.  This update corrects the URL used for iJustine’s blog so that the mobile blog view and the full website view now use ijustine.com instead of tastyblogsnack.com.

As always, if you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or just want to say Hi – you can contact us by using the “Contact Developer” button in the “About” page of any of our apps.  We also encourage you to frequently check the Developer Blog and More Apps views to stay up to date with our latest releases.

Also – follow us on twitter!  twitter.com/geekutils (@geekutils) – we periodically give away free download keys for any new paid apps we release, and we usually post updates as to important feature additions, bug fixes, etc.

Using our apps on iPad? Please Read ;)

April 21st, 2010

As the iPad grows in popularity, we are aware that a growing number of you are now using our iPhone apps on the iPad. There are a couple of quirks we have uncovered that you should keep in mind for any third party apps like ours that you run in iPhone mode on the iPad.

  • When you update an application, and that application’s icon has changed – the new icon will not be reflected on the iPad’s home screen until you reboot. In general, we believe it is a good idea to restart your iPhone/iPod/iPad periodically – so once you have installed application updates is a good time to reboot to ensure everything – including your icons, are updated. At the present time, this only appears to be the case on iPhone OS 3.2 and 4.0. We have reported this to Apple Engineers, and hope to have resolution in the future.
  • When you playback YouTube videos from inside any third party app, you may notice that the status bar disappears and the contents of the screen appear to “shift” downward. This doesn’t cause an issue with usability – and most people won’t notice this issue. If you go to post a comment you will notice that the keyboard pops up in landscape mode, even though the app is running in portrait mode. This is due to a small issue within the YouTube player that is built into the device itself, and we have reported this as a bug to Apple Engineers, and hope to have resolution in the future.

Both of these issues are outside of our control. We appreciate the time that some of you have taken to report these to us, and appreciate your patience while all parties involved work to resolve them.

Keep up the great work in keeping us in tune with your experiences! We will keep you updated and will let you know as soon as these two issues are resolved.
