Although I was already happy with how Chromocam has done so far, I got a nice ray of sunshine through my office window when I opened up iTunes Connect one sleepy morning and saw 20x the usual amount of downloads for Chromocam Dots. Now, I did some quick googling, checked search.twitter.com, and didn’t see much. I actually figured it was a bug in iTunes reporting, especially since they had some weird warning messages about outages and errors in reporting on the top of the screen.
So I checked the next day… and even more downloads! :) Now I know something is up, so I did some more research and saw some great reviews, especially from CreativeApplications.Net and Pocket Plastic. So, I’m thinking that my traffic is coming from there. By the way, I definitely need to do a future blog entry on payola and improper practices by some shady blog owners… anyway, know that creative applications and pocket plastic are amazing journalists and curators and I highly recommend adding them to your RSS reader.
I just happened to then check iTunes, looking for reviews and ratings and things like that, and what do I see? Chromocam Dots is featured right on the front page!!!! :O Apple staff thinks I’m New and Noteworthy! What an honor :). For all the marketing, design, and development I did myself, it really felt great to know that people who look at apps all day, every day, thought that mine was worth something. I don’t really care about the 99c price point, I don’t make a ton of money off Chromocam or anything, but being selected for this curation, sharing space with amazing, revolutionary software like Gravilux, and Circuit Synth. It’s definitely a nice feeling, and I’m feeling very happy of my choice to go with iPhone development. I’ve been wavering lately, with the EVO 4G coming out, but I think I’ll stay with iPhone for the forseeable future… or until Chromocam Cubes gets rejected. ;)
Just a quick post to let everyone know that Chromocam Dots 1.1 is released! With this update, we get some little UI bugfixes- and a new feature! If you don’t like the way your dots have popped up, just shake and a dialog box will ask if you’d like to restart! I hope to have small little features like this added often, and every new Chromocam release will bring enhancements to the entire suite. You can check it out here. (iTunes link)
If you’d like a promo code, just hit me up on twitter! @chromocam
Chromocam Dots is finally released! The first in a series of iphoneography apps, you can download Chromocam Dots for .99c in the iTunes App Store!
I’ve already found a bit of an embarassing bug… when you upload your creation to Twitter, it sends along text that says Chromocam is still in Beta! :( But, I already had a feature update ready to send out, so there will be an update to fix that little bug out shortly. And of course, all updates will be free, forever - there will be no Chromocam Dots 2 or anything like that- so go ahead and download it, and enjoy!
