iVideoCamera Coming Update…

We are working hard and furiously on a major update to iVideoCamera. We know a lot of you have been complaining about the facebook bug. When we updated to v1.1 we added some UI elements which were not compatible with Facebook Connect SDK login process. We have just been waiting to release that fix along with a major update. If for some reason you absolutely cannot wait email us with your UDID and we will send you an adhoc.

Thanks for your patience…..

Are there any updates the the frame rate or quality of the video?

  Posted by Melv - 26 January 2010 @ 6pm

Agreed…great app. Sent my UDID for the facebook connect since that was the reason I wanted this so bad. Can’t wait to see the next version!

Must admit, I’ve been checking for the next big update every morning. Totally believe you guys can pull off something great. Thanks for the the continued work rather than resting at #1.

Best of luck.

Thanks y’all!! This is a great app! Keep up the good work. I was afraid that I’d have to wait for my AT&T contract to run out and the nxt iPhone model to be able to take video of my little 3 yr. old girl runnin around, but thanks to y’all I can do that now! Thanks. The only thing that I’d really request after using it for a couple of days is a higher FPS rate, but I imagine that that’s prob one of the more challenging things to build in. Good work. Thanks again!

I’m leaving for Africa on Monday and would love to ve able to upload videos to Facebook while I am gone. This is why I bought the app.

Is there is a “temp” fix that you could hook me up with, that would be great.

Thanks,

For some odd reason,my e-mail’s to you aren’t going thru. Can you send me the adhock. E-mail me please and I’ll give you my UUID. Thanks a ton.

It is really a nice app especially considering the extremely fast startup and video finalization, and this the app that comes with the most video sharing method I’ve seen.

To make the great app even greater, here are few suggestions / reports I’d like to make (some might have been said a thousand times but, just in case.

– would be nice if the copy and paste work when editing title / description. At moment although I long-tapped the string the copy’n'paste bubble won’t appear.

– would be nice not to steal video clip focus when finished sharing. YouTube is the only one I currently using (am still waiting for FB to work :-) ) but when I finish uploading it automatically jumps to the top of the list. This is especially annoying if you keep a clip collection and tent to forget which clip been uploaded.

– would be nice to add the date of upload next to the sharing method. Some users like me might first share the video in YouTube, then share some in Facebook, then export those really favorite ones to photo roll so they can send to their friend anytime. If you’ll add a date next to the sharing method they used they will never forget.

– would be nice to be able to export the video as the 3gp format to photo roll. This is the format many mobile phone in Japan use in common, if you’re using ffmpeg chances are this format should be already supported. The mov format is too big and will not be viewable on the Japanese phones in Japan (even if you’re not interested in regional facts I’m adding this as a note.)

– finally, I wish you couldcontinue focus on extending the already sharing strength. It would be perfectly great if the frame rate and graphic and the resolution and [_______] are improved as well but, after all there’s really much to expect fromiPhone’s poor camera (in fact the audio recording quality out performs graphic quality that it maintain a good balance to me.)

Keep producing our smiles, our joy, you’re the man!

I am sure work is fast and furious but would it be possible to get even a rough estimate of when an update might get submitted?

Thanks, this is my favorite app!

  Posted by Charlie - 4 February 2010 @ 2pm

When will the facebook problem be fixed ?? I have been checking for your update every day!!

  Posted by Stacey - 5 February 2010 @ 12am

This notice has been up for two weeks. You have hundreds of bad reviews because of your bugs. Fix this or refund us for false advertisement!!!!

  Posted by Poor - 5 February 2010 @ 9pm

Please send me the adhoc I can’t wait

  Posted by Eric - 7 February 2010 @ 2am

Hi
there is problem with facebook , so i can not send video record on facebook , i hope you do something , .
thanks and regard

  Posted by parviz - 7 February 2010 @ 6am

Please get the facebook problem fixed!!!! That was the one reason I chose your app over others because the info talked about how easy it was to put videos on facebook. I was extremely disapointed when after buying your app I could not use it to put a video of my brand new grand niece on facebook for my out of state family to see. Fix that issue and maybe an added bonus of being able to zoom in and out and your app would be perfect!!!

  Posted by Gayla - 7 February 2010 @ 6pm

Not sure what UDID is but the reason I bought ivideo was for the Facebook posting. Please let me know when the update is schedules so I can decide whether or not to explore others.
Thanks

  Posted by Dan - 7 February 2010 @ 10pm

Dan, get Qik. It upload to facebook, better framerate, ability to zoom in, and effects like grayscale and others. These people obviously don’t care what their customers think.

  Posted by Poor - 7 February 2010 @ 10pm

Dan you can also try icamcorder it’s the 3rd video app. It’s the newest one it has facebook upload and it has more than 15 fps and has zoom and effects. I don’t know how it compares to qik but icamcorder is also a good app. I’m happy with it. =D

  Posted by Chase - 8 February 2010 @ 1am

This app definitely needs some work. Kudos to you for developing a video camera app for older iphones. I was about to jailbreak mine until I came across this. The Facebook sharing not working AT ALL is a huge oversight on your part. What kind of QA do you have where not even being able to enter your FB login in the UI slips past you? I’ve also been unsuccessful in sharing with youtube. It seems to authenticate and upload, but then at the end of the upload it shows a useless error, but I’m assuming this has something to do maybe with my youtube account or something else since no one else seems to be complaining.

One other big gripe I have is that whatever internet detection code you have on the Share Video screen needs work. Here at work we have a corporate wifi that has a proxy, all other apps that make http connections like youtube, FB, Safari, etc. work fine on this network. But this app continually prompts that it doesn’t have an internet connection. I don’t know the details, but you need to somehow detect the proxy which I think you’re not doing.

Finally, the video quality is just okay. Needs work, and there seems to be a way to get at least 15 FPS ’cause other apps have it.

I think if you get these things fixed and get the update out there QUICK you’ll be good to go. Otherwise you’ll continue to get bad reviews and the other video apps will outshine. I’ll hold off reviewing until your update comes out, hopefully soon.

This is my 3rd request for help/fix – Would this be just a DEAD SITE !!! can anyone reply????? – please let me Know how can i use this app with facebook -

  Posted by Chris - 9 February 2010 @ 9pm

Ma questo aggiornamento quando verrà fatto e cosa verrà migliorato?
Verranno aumentati i fps e migliorata la qualità video e aggiunto uno zoom con effetti, visto che ci siete migliorate anche l’icona che quella di qik è più bella.
Fateci sapere
Grazie

  Posted by Fabio - 10 February 2010 @ 5am

Please update soon

  Posted by Llllllllllllllll - 12 February 2010 @ 8pm

seriously update with higher resolution, mms, 20-25 fps at least to try to get that high or just 15 fps, facebook bug fix, and again seriously update fast dudes I’m freaking checking everyday for an update all exited but nothing is there.

  Posted by kgc - 12 February 2010 @ 8pm

I bought this app specifically to put videos up on facebook and YouTube, neither of which works. .99 cents is cheap, but it would be nice if the app you sold me did what it’s says it would do.

  Posted by Theshmegma - 13 February 2010 @ 6pm

You can keep selling something you know is broke. This is called fraud and could be criminal. Yes I said it. When you collect money on something advertised as one thing when you know it is not it shows intent. Intent to fraud. I’ll await a fix or full refund. Sorry I am cling you out on this scam.

  Posted by Joe - 13 February 2010 @ 10pm

HOLY CRAP Joe… they tell the people to visit the blog for more info, and the blog says Facebook doesn’t work, and I don’t think you can get as far as fraud and false advertisement with a small simple app in the app store. I’ll bet when the update comes out, it’ll be iPhone 3GS quality, which is 30 frames per seconds, WITH Facebook fixed and additional features. Be patient. They might surprise use without notice. :D

  Posted by Anthony - 15 February 2010 @ 3am

Please send me the adhoc

  Posted by Guido pozo - 15 February 2010 @ 9am

I visit this page every day but the developers dont reply to comments… Why? Is the update promise a lie?
I had to buy Qik Video Camera, and it works great… 15 fps, onscreen menues, several effects, great quality, share by mail and to facebook is awesome (just uploaded a 18 mb video very fast!).
So… should I keep this app installed waiting for the update??? I almost dont think so…

  Posted by ituy - 15 February 2010 @ 12pm

The app is worth a buck. What is the UDID??? I NEED to be able to upload to facebook!!!

  Posted by Saad - 18 February 2010 @ 2am

Improving the video quality further would be amazing and also other video affects such as black and white and zoom but cant wait to see what you come up with!

  Posted by Chris Brooks - 18 February 2010 @ 10am

when we can we upload our videos to FaceBook? Is this being corrected? Why put that as an option if you cant even do that.

  Posted by JImmy - 20 February 2010 @ 2pm

Pleeeeaaaaassssse, update as sooonnn…..
Thank you

  Posted by Feboici - 22 February 2010 @ 5am

Please udpate. See the Qik camera, you can do it. See the function and the quality, It’s awasome. Ivideocamera can go on this way. Thanks.

  Posted by Arturo - 22 February 2010 @ 12pm

common guys need an update
or i might have to switch to quick camera !!

  Posted by lee chamberlain - 22 February 2010 @ 12pm

It would be really nice if someone could let me know what a UDID is. Lots of people who don’t speak tech language would like to use this app as well since you guys haven’t fixed it yet :(

  Posted by Tiffany - 23 February 2010 @ 6am

Okay nevermind I figured it out. I feel stupid lol. For others trying to figure this out, just go into the app store and search UDID and download one of the free apps that will email it to you :) just don’t share it on any public websites.

  Posted by Tiffany - 23 February 2010 @ 7am

Switched to Qik Video until the update is released. I hope you guys add an audio booster thing like they have. Plus, their UI sucks dick, iVideo Camera’s is way nicer and smoother =] lets go update!

  Posted by lotek - 24 February 2010 @ 1pm

Hey please hurry up bcause ividocamera sukss! Please please please get on top agin! eta?

  Posted by Hurry up! - 24 February 2010 @ 9pm

Hey Gordon, tell us if they actually send it to you! They might have died! :O xD

  Posted by Anthony - 25 February 2010 @ 8pm

Has anyone actually gotten the AdHoc update? Apple’s approval process time frame aside, has the updated application been submitted to Apple yet?

  Posted by opherko - 26 February 2010 @ 10am

just release the new update i am getting mad that i give u money for this app

  Posted by brian - 27 February 2010 @ 9pm

I have iVideo Camera on my iPhone. Worked great the first few times however, now when I try to launch it, it acts like it is going to launch and then just goes back to my main screen on my iPhone. Any suggestions? Thanks!

  Posted by Marsha Hansen - 28 February 2010 @ 1pm

I think something must went wrong with Iaan’s life. It’s really weird that after this much complaints there’s still no explaination whatsoever.

Iaan, next time when you post an update teaser I suggest you tell peoplethe timeline when the update is going to be submitted to Apple. Because if you don’t, you could be making people checking both App Store and your blog from time to time, like what already happened in the comment block of this post.

So you see, even you were not promissing anything you can still end up losing creditability. If it’s something you can’t and don’t know when you’ll be able to achieve you need to tell people. If there’s anything stoping you from updating you need to tell people.

  Posted by Sayomo - 28 February 2010 @ 3pm

The reason is clear, Ividiocamera was good for start, but today Qik video is better. They has much better than this, and is not easy, because Qik is very nice. I Think this is the problem. We have to wait, I love Ivideocamera, but is not the best right now, It’s very clear. It’s a hard challenge.

  Posted by Armejia - 28 February 2010 @ 10pm

Great product!! Please update!! Need to upload to facebook. How can I get the adhoc? Has anyone gotten it yet?

  Posted by Saad - 1 March 2010 @ 4am

iVC rocks! My fav thing about it is the UI – sleek & simple, naturally blends into an overall iPhone experience and doesn’t leave a feeling of a 3rd party product. Like it’s been there forever. Please do not make any substantial changes to it in the *hopefully* coming update. The most anticipated features for me: improved frame rate & zooming. Not gonna go for any rival product :-)

  Posted by m1kael - 1 March 2010 @ 12pm

thanks for the worry, but we’re ok (well we think we are ok at least) – we have just been really busy with update and other projects

  Posted by admin - 1 March 2010 @ 1pm

Nice! Now, could you tell us something about the new update? I can’t wait anymore :p
thanks

  Posted by Ivol - 2 March 2010 @ 6am

Even with new update. Facebook doesn’t work

  Posted by Janet - 2 March 2010 @ 10pm

Just downloaded this and it does not work with facebook. It comes back with an error about the file format not being supported.

Your documentation is misleading.
