App Popular Recommendations is coming soon to an App Store near you!
It combines new features with much of the original App Popular included. My business partner and lead developer quit unexpectedly about three months ago so it’s been quite some time in the making. There’s a larger vision I wish to actualize with this product; and hopefully it’s simple brilliance (IMHO) will resonate with enough people to further its development. Read more…

Every day is an iPhone app giveaway inside App Popular (the app that helps you find & save money on other apps), but even more so over the next few days.
We’ll be giving away several hundred (we’ve already given away thousands!!) promo codes from March 3-4 (2010) for the following iPhone apps listed below (and possibly others). We will post individual tweets for each app when the codes go live inside App Popular (http://Twitter.com/AppPopular). Only one code per device is allowed per day and codes are given out on a first come, first serve basis. Not everyone receives or is guaranteed a code. An iTunes account based in the US is required to participate and redeem promo codes. Read more…

We recently added a new US Promo Codes Stream section inside the new version of App Popular (which points people to free downloads of paid apps). For the first week, we were able to give away (on a first come, first serve basis) 1,542 paid iPhone and iPod Touch applications to our members for free! How cool is that?

With the new version’s release imminent (we submitted to Apple last Wednesday), I thought I’d provide an update and outlook for App Popular. I’m going to hold off on sharing details of the two new app discovery features we’ve added to 1.1 until it’s actually live in the App Store, but I do believe we’re laying the groundwork for something useful to people who love and use iPhone and iPod Touch apps.
For those unfamiliar with it, App Popular (for the iPhone and iPod Touch) lets you easily browse all 77 App Stores by country and category. Read more…

Get them while they last. 10 free promo codes are now available for the Mark On Call home interior design app I co-created on the iPhone App Review site.
We’ll soon be updating the website and are at work (early stages) on a desktop companion to the application.
Here’s the iTunes Link for Mark On Call: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mark-on-call/id299360512?mt=8

Mark On Call(TM) 2.0 for the iPhone and iPod Touch, a major update to the incredibly popular interior design app, makes sharing even easier! Now room designs can be published and stored on the Web where owners of the application can peruse the new “Rooms Gallery”, an aggregated area of all users’ published rooms. From directly inside the app, users can download, customize and apply the room designs of others to their own personal space. The gallery lets users backup rooms, move rooms to another floor plan, create room templates, and collaborate with other designers, clients, friends, family, or Mark On Call users. Read more…

America needs a goal.
Something positive that brings us together.
Something tangible and something measurable.
Not something like the War On Poverty but more akin to the Space Race. Getting other countries (or the “world”) involved or inspired, and in a more positive way. Read more…

I feel compelled to share the feedback I received from the iPhone Developer Program for my new iPhone app. If the information helps just one developer get approved more quickly, it will have indeed been worth it!
It will also make IDP reviewers’ jobs easier.
Currently it takes about 2.5 weeks for Apple’s iPhone application approval process, up from five days at the beginning of the year. And this is if there are no change requests. Expect equal amounts of time for each round of corrections.
So without further ado, here’s the potentially time-saving tip: Read more…

Boxcar is a new iPhone application that sends push notifications for Twitter. When someone DMs or @replies you, you will get a push notification in the form of a a text box and a sound notification. Tweets pushed to you can be opened in Tweetie or Twitterrific for now, with support for more apps coming soon.
It’s not real time push as notifications take about a minute to be pushed to your iPhone but it still works great. The only downside I see in this app is that these push notifications can quickly become overwhelming if you have many people @replying or DMing you. For someone like me, Twitter push notifications make my ADD even worse…
