New and Noteworthy

Hi all,

I’m not the most frequent blogger these days… but what the h..ck. Now to the news.

RoadMovie 2.5 is mentioned in the “New and Noteworthy” section on the front page of Mac App Store! Happy about that, and thx to all you customers for your input and support!

Apple has had a really, really bad period when it comes to reviewing apps for the Mac App Store. All my mac apps have now been “Waiting for review” for over a month?!?! I guess Apple has moved some resources to their iOS App Store Review team to focus on reviewing iOS apps for iOS 6 and the iPhone 5. It’s a shame they abandon OS X for this reason. I recon they have the money and resources to hire people to review mac apps as well. Shame on you Apple.

It’s also a delicate and hard time for us 3’rd party developers with the introduction of the sandbox. A lot of bugs in my apps is related to this new “feature”. We don’t have the luxury like Apple has to invent new entitlements that lets us read/write the entire hard drive for example (read Aperture). Very few Apple apps is struggling with the same problems as they can “invent” their own entitlements. My message to Apple is… eat your own dog food and comply to the rules you set up for everybody else.

Well, enough complaining. Life is good, anyway.

Best regards / Jörgen

It’s a big day today! The Mac App Store has finally opened and we are in there from the beginning. Available today is RoadMovie 2 and iSubtitle.

RoadMovie 2 comes with tons of new features. We have been working long and hard with this version. iSubtitle is still the best soft subtitle solution out there. Please check them out in the app store and please, please write some kind reviews!

Thx in advance / Jörgen

iPad

A friend of mine bought me an iPad while on tour in the US. It was delivered to me in Sweden just a couple of days later. Been playing around with it a lot. I think it’s a fantastic device. It’s sleek, it’s fast, it’s extremely easy to use. My children are using it all the time to watch SVT Play and movies. Angry Birds HD is running a lot :-)

Well, so I had plenty of mail from users and friends about support for the iPad in my applications. I’m happy to tell you all that I just released iSubtitle 2.1.3 with an iPad export preset. Submerge 1.9.3 with iPad support was also released just a couple of days ago. I’m also making some major changes in RoadMovie 2.0, and it will of course have iPad and soft subtitle support.

I hope you get your hands on one of these iPads, it’s almost as magical and revolutionary as Apple claims it to be. Enjoy!


Dashboard Widgets

I’m not the worlds most frequent blogger, that’s for sure.

Anyway, today I had some spare time and had a little session making some widgets in Dashcode.
