Thanks for the downloads!

August 4th, 2010

We were impressed again today to see that our official apps for Joe Nation TV and KevJumba were listed in the new and noteworthy category in the iTunes app store.  Along with that, our apps for CTFxC, OlgaKay, and our unofficial app for ShayTards were the top three picks in “What’s Hot” in social networking.

We can’t thank everyone enough for the downloads, and we cannot possibly thank our content partners enough for allowing us to provide apps for their content.  Thanks Everyone!

Two NEW Apps Released!

August 2nd, 2010

Like we described in the video on our YouTube channel the other day, the reception of our apps has been amazing and we’ve gotten the chance to work with some really talented people who have taken a chance on us by allowing us to provide their official apps into the app store.

We’re very happy to announce two new apps, released today, that are available now in the app store.  The first is JoeNationTV Official, and the second one is KevJumba Official.  We’ve been amazed by the cinematic quality of Joe’s videos for quite some time, and we laugh out loud constantly to Kev’s videos and love his philanthropic spirit.

We’re honored to announce these two official additions to our app lineup.  To download, just do the following:

  • If you are already in one of our apps, just go to the “More” view, then pick “More Apps”, and then touch the app you want to download to automatically go to the app store.
  • If you are on our website, both apps have been added to “the grid” on the right side of our homepage at http://www.geekutils.com

Thanks Joe and Kevin and thank you to all of the loyal fans for downloading!  We hope you all enjoy the new additions!

Oh No! We posted a video ;)

While I’d like to think I am a pretty good programmer, I’m not very good at video editing.  I did, however, want to throw a quick video together to introduce people to our new YouTube channel, say thank you to everyone who is using our products, and give a little history of how my Vlogger app framework came to be.

If you are a faithful user of our apps, I encourage you to subscribe to our channel.  Much like we update this blog periodically with information regarding upcoming apps, new features, bug reports, etc – we also plan on doing this periodically through the YouTube channel as well.

Don’t worry, we won’t spam your YouTube sub list with countless videos – our intention is only to post new videos when we have something important or beneficial to say – so, please, give it a shot and subscribe to http://www.youtube.com/geekutils.

GeekUtils Apps reviewed on YouTube?

July 29th, 2010

So, we were just searching through YouTube last night and we found some people that had taken time out of their day to review several of our apps.  We took a moment to comment on each one, but would like to thank each of you who did this.

We’re glad to see people enjoy our apps, and glad to see that they enjoy them enough to spread the word.  Thanks again!

Our official YouTube channel does not yet contain any videos, but we have favorited each of those reviews.  Please be sure to check it out – http://www.youtube.com/geekutils – If you’d like to subscribe, feel free.  We have plans to periodically post short videos talking about upcoming products, and to provide general help using our apps.

Thanks!

Latest update and the iPad

July 28th, 2010

A few of you have reported to us that our latest updates to our apps will only play videos in Portrait orientation on the iPad.  We have been able to duplicate the issue and are looking for resolution.

The YouTube player that we use to play the video is the one that is built-in to the device, so we have not changed any code here.  The only thing that we can assume is that there is some form of an incompatibility between our apps built for iOS 4.0 when running on the iPad’s iPhone OS 3.2.

We have run testing on many other devices of varying firmware versions and all devices work fine in portrait or landscape mode with the exception of the iPad.

We’ll keep you posted as we look into this to see if we can push out an update that resolves this issue.  In the meantime, if you are using an iPad, you may want to hold off on the update(s)
