Updated apps are now available!

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Unofficial iJustine v1.3 and Unofficial Shane Dawson v1.1 are now available for download in the app store.  Note: We just got notification from Apple, so it may take a couple of hours before you see that an update is available on your device.

These versions include a couple of small bug fixes, but most importantly, include full YouTube community integration.  This means you can login with your YouTube account and rate videos, subscribe to the channels, view/post/reply to comments, and mark videos as favorites.

Of course, this only extends our already included support to share videos via e-Mail and Facebook.  Now it’s even easier to share your favorite videos with friends a number of different ways.

Please let us know if any of you run into any issues, we’d love to work with you to make sure everything is working exactly like you’d expect it to.  You can use the “Contact Developer” link on the “About” tab in the app to send us an e-mail any time!

Are you enjoying our apps?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Because we are offering our applications to users free (and by free, we also mean advertisement free) – the only gratification we receive for our hard work are positive reviews.  The overwhelming number of reviews that we have gathered so far are excellent (5 stars, thank you!) but we want to hear from more of you.  If you are enjoying our applications, please take a moment to rate them.  Remember, each new version can (and should) be re-rated.  If you would like to leave a comment that is great too, but simply rating each version on the star scale is helpful for us to know we are going in the right direction.  To rate the apps now, please follow the appropriate link in the bottom of this message.

If you are having troubles with our apps, or if something just is not working right, Please – Contact us using the “Contact Developer” link in the About tab in any of our apps.  We would love to work with you to find out how we can make the app better for you,  because this also helps us to understand how our applications are behaving “in the field”, and helps us to improve the experience for everyone.

THANK YOU for being a cusotmer!

If you are on your iPhone or iPod touch, use the “More Apps” Tab in our app to automatically launch into our page in the app store to rate our apps.

Latest Video not Showing – why?

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Some of you have noticed that your favorite blogger has posted a new video but it’s not showing up in the listings view of the channel it was posted to. Please be patient – it will show up soon. When a person uploads a new video to YouTube it takes a while for YouTube to recode it into all of the various formats and bitrates to support all platforms. As soon as the mobile version is ready, it will appear in the listing.  We automatically filter these videos from the listing to prevent the aggravation of seeing a video that you cannot play using our app.

Unplayable Videos in Blog View?

Video Not Available

If you have been using our iPhone/iPod app to view your favorite blogger’s content, you may have seen this icon before.

Some of you have asked what this means and why it occurs, so we wanted to post a quick explanation. In most cases, this means that the video that the blogger has uploaded is being processed and is not yet available on the mobile platform. You would also notice that if you went to your blogger’s web page or YouTube channel on your iPhone or iPod Touch – you would see the same result.

Please be patient, this does not mean that you will not be able to see the video. When a content provider uploads content to YouTube, they generally upload it in the highest quality possible (usually high definition). YouTube then takes this video once it’s received, and converts it to all of the other possible formats, bitrates, etc. This processing takes a variable amount of time depending on how many new videos were uploaded that day, server load, etc. Sometimes the mobile version will be available in a couple of hours, sometimes it takes a full day.

The beauty of our application is that it provides an easy way for you to share the video. If you find that your favorite blogger has posted content that you simply must see right away, but you receive the “processing” (or “not available”) image above, use the share button to e-mail it to yourself or post it to your facebook wall and then view it on your computer.
