PhotoBook

Posted Tue, 10/06/2009 - 06:32 by codeflakes

AppStore Link

Application just updated with multi album support !

Description:

Organize your photo collection in a photo book and flip through it like with a physical photo album. Just grab a corner of a page and flip it like a real book page. Go back and forth like you would with an old fashion photo album.
This a great and spectacular way to show your best pictures to your friends.
Also integrate Facebook upload feature to you can post a picture to your Facebook page directly from PhotoBook.

Why ?

iPhone is touch so why browser your picture like on a computer. Standard iPhone photo gallery user interface is just an adaptation of a computer UI. We felt like the touch capabilities could allow a more natural way to flip through your picture collections.

How ?

Once added to PhotoBook your photos becomes flexible and reacts like real paper. You drop a page and it will return to its original position with realistic physics. You flip the page enough and it will smoothly continue its movement to the other side of the book.
Every move is fluid, real time and animated. This is not pre-calculated animation. You control the page with your finger.

Importance of app store comment

by codeflakes - 10/06/2009 - 11:31

If I sent you a promo code, please take the short time to write a review in the app store.

Want to trade app store review for review?

by jmhammond - 10/06/2009 - 14:59

I released a new app this weekend called SeeThruWeb - the only mobile browser that lets you see exactly what's behind your phone. Never again will you trip down those stairs (like we've all done!).

PhotoBook looks really neat to me. Want to trade promo codes to trade reviews on iTunes? I'll give you a fair and thorough review if you'll do the same for me!

Just asked for a SeeThruWeb promo code

by codeflakes - 10/06/2009 - 15:16

But I'm not in the US and I don't think promo codes work outside the US :-/

Well, promo code set and PhotoBook is reviewed

by jmhammond - 10/06/2009 - 15:30

I reviewed PhotoBook for you. I found a little hard to use at first, but once I figured it out I was a fan of flipping through the images. I like the paging animation and how it varies depending on where you're touching the page.

Please

by fordy26 - 10/09/2009 - 14:40

please send me a code i will review on itunes and on youtube

Application just updated with multi album support !

by codeflakes - 10/20/2009 - 08:22

As promised, update is here and I just sent codes to the waiting list users.
Thanks for you're interest in the app.

Great App

by raycom - 10/20/2009 - 08:59

This app is easy to use, no frills app. Keep up the good work codeflakes.

Comment taken into account

by codeflakes - 10/23/2009 - 05:22

Thanks all for the comments and critics on the app store.
Multiple album feature has been recently added after many request about it.
Also requested, possibility to title the albums will be available in next release.

Sounds amazing.. I have to

by shek_ruse - 10/28/2009 - 07:56

Sounds amazing.. I have to have it on my iPod Touch.

Thanks CodeFlakes

by cmsy27 - 10/29/2009 - 11:43

Good start =)

I've posted reviews on http://app-reciationreviews.blogspot.com/ and on iTunes under cmsy27.

If you need more feedback, e-mail us at app.reciation.reviews@gmail.com

Again, thanks!

Suggestion:

by shek_ruse - 10/30/2009 - 05:17

You need to Show the Visual Controls on how to Operate the Application in the HELP.

Indeed that would be a good

by codeflakes - 10/30/2009 - 09:17

Indeed that would be a good idea.
We lack help support in general and we need to improve it.

As a start i just put a very short help page here:
http://www.code-flakes.com/2009/10/add-photo-to-photobook.html

Nice Graphics :)

by shek_ruse - 10/30/2009 - 15:20

You really need to integrate the Same Help Controls into the App in the Next update.

BTW, i had mentioned about the same suggestion in the Reviews at the US AppStore.

Please look into the following issues to make the App function much better;

Bug:

When you press + in the App it takes you to the Camera Roll where you can select photos to add to PhotoBook, There's only a Cancel button on the top.

Suggestion:

1. When a thumbnail is pressed it just makes a sound, instead of just making a Sound, you can as well Show the number of Photos being Marked which has been added on Press (either as a Check Mark or as an Highlighted Box around the thumbnail).

2. Also provide an option to type on the the Book Cover to differentiate each Book as an Album rather than only Colors.

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion

by codeflakes - 10/31/2009 - 04:38

Thanks for the suggestion shek_ruse, we saw the review on the app store and took it into account. It just take us time to develop and it takes weeks from Apple to approve apps. That's also a shame that we can't respond to reviews directly on the app store.

But anyway I'm glad to tell you that suggestion 2 is already submitted to Apple and we are just waiting for their approval. hopefully in a week from now.

Also suggestion 1 is in development. This strange "cancel" button as been disturbing from the beginning but strangely there is now official way to change it (it's an Apple window). But there are workarounds and we are on it.

Thanks again for the constructive comments!

Glad to be of help

by shek_ruse - 10/31/2009 - 05:37

I thought of Compiling all the Suggestions and add 1 of my own and mention it here. As we users have a Direct communication with Developers in here.

Suggestion 1 is my opinion, glad to know its under development.

Cheers!!

Thanks!

by torakaru - 11/02/2009 - 10:43

Thanks a lot by the code!

I download it, I will try it and I will write a very nice review for you!

Cheers,

Help

by haha - 11/03/2009 - 02:07

When trying to add a photo from my album, something does not work. When I click on a picture, I get a confirmation sound, but there is only two options on top,of the screen: "Album photo", on top left, and "annuler" (cancel) on top right. No "OK" anywhere.
Thanx.
Haha.

Hello Haha, yes this is

by codeflakes - 11/03/2009 - 02:51

Hello Haha,

yes this is confusing because it's an apple window and we can't change the "cancel" button which should be a "OK" button.
Just push cancel and it will go back to the book having added all the pictures you clicked on.
We are working on it to make it clearer as many users have the same question.

Here are some coments, as they come to my minde while testing.
I'd like to be able to write a title on my book cover

When showing my book to a friend, it's hard to open the pages while holding my iphone sideways. So i'd like the pages to turn in an easier manner (not having to slide my finger n the whole screen).

Haha.

by codeflakes - 11/25/2009 - 06:39

Hi everyone !
At last our new version (0.95) is online. We took VERY seriously all your remarks and comment and worked hard to ease and improve flipping speed.
We added help, we improved image addition UI and added Chinese and Japanese translation (more language to come)

It would be great if you could try it and comment it on the AppStore. We still have work to do but thanks to you the app is really improving.

Good Work - Well Appreciated

wrote a review

by ko3anguo - 01/22/2010 - 06:29

wrote a review for photobook...

Here's some suggestions:
1. i would like to paste a picture for the main cover of the photobook along with the title ( below the title ) and some decorations for the picture on the main cover such as tapes on the four corner and etc.

2. i would also like the background of it when you zoom out the photo books to be decorated or coloured. the default colour is black.. some decorations would somehow be nice though. ( i didnt meant inside the photo book, its when you ZOOM OUT... )

Questions....

by ko3anguo - 01/22/2010 - 06:25

Uhm.... dev,
can i know how to write chinese for the title of my photobook???

thanks
