Audio not working with latest updates?

September 26th, 2013

Our latest apps use the latest incarnation of the mobile playback mechanism on the device.

This playback mechanism OBEYS the mute switch on the device.  If you have your sounds muted (Silent Switch ON), then audio will only come through the headphones.

If you want the audio to come out of the device, ensure that your silent switch is in the OFF position.

This is the default recommended behavior for iOS6/7.

Let the iOS7 / iPhone 5 app updates…. begin :)

September 25th, 2013

We are in the process of updating all of our apps for iOS7 and the larger screen size of the iPhone 5.  We are going through each app starting with the most popular, and working through them all.

The first app to receive the fruits of these changes is PhillyD Official.  To download, use the links to the right on the homepage.  The app updates feature the following:

  • Twitter widget replaced with a normal Twitter view
  • All orientations are supported
  • All screen resolutions supported
  • iOS6 and iOS7 are currently supported.  The next update will likely only support iOS7 – so if you have not updated yet, please do.  There are user interface elements right now which are not optimal – but are necessary to support both iOS6 and 7.  We would eventually like to work this in to an app that is better designed to support only the latest and greatest, however 🙂
  • MANY bug fixes and performance enhancements

Enjoy!  We will slowly be releasing updates to the other apps in the coming days as they are completed.

Twitter isn’t working in the apps – why?

July 1st, 2013

Many of you are reporting that the twitter views in our apps are not working properly.  We understand this, and wish we had a magic fix – however, it’s not an issue within the app itself.

That particular portion of the app is simply a browser and a twitter widget.  Twitter recently made some changes that have broken their widgets.  Basically, the page we are browsing to is broken due to Twitter’s changes.

We will work a new twitter view into the next update – in the meantime, you can still view your YouTuber’s twitter page by simply going to http://www.twitter.com/{username} – simply replace “{username}” with the user ID you wish to view.

Server Outage Today – Back Online…

June 29th, 2013

So – for many of you, you may have noticed that for a certain period of time today – the badges for new videos did not clear (as they usually do) when you load the app.   This was due to a planned server outage today that has now been resolved.

The server that runs all of our services and provides data for our applications has been moved from one datacenter to another – all functions should be operational once again.

Updates for iOS6 and the new iPhone 5 coming.

September 29th, 2012

We are in the process of updating our apps to work better with the new features of iOS6 and the new screen size of the iPhone5.  Stay tuned for future updates.

Also, as an aside, we have reached a point where future updates of the app may no longer be able to support very old versions of iOS (3.x, for example).  We may need to restrict our apps to run only on iOS5 / iOS6.

We will do everything we can to continue to support the old devices while providing the best experience on iOS5 and 6.   We would, however, encourage any users using an old version of iOS to update their devices to ensure the best experience with ALL apps (not just ours).
