When I was a kid, my dad made a lot of home movies. Of my birthdays, school plays, parties, sports events and more. And there were times when he would forget to load a cassette into the bulky camera I also remember how much that thing weighed! As times progressed, the camera reduced in size, so much so that it now fits in your pocket. Now you have your mobile devices that support video recording like the iPhone which is a great device for capturing and recording. And what makes it even better? Camera Plus Pro!

The first All-in-one camera app on the App Store, Camera Plus Pro, became even better with the new version 2.0. You can now record high quality videos at full resolution on your 2G, 3G or 3GS with an OS 3.1 or higher. Once done you can apply Geo-Tags to them and upload it instantly via YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Mail, for your loved ones to see. You also have the option of protecting your private photos with a Password and Tag your videos and locate them easily via the Search feature.

Camera Plus Pro can boast of multitude of features such as High quality video recording, host of photo capturing options, photo editing, photo filters, innovative photo and video management, geo-tags, password protect, copyright and date, and the host of sharing options and more. Thus making it a Swiss Knife of iPhone Photography of sorts.

Of course this was possible due to the immense support from all of you and all ypur feedback and suggestions. We are of course working on improvements on the video recording performance and are planning on some more cool features. So keep watching this space. And for those who still haven’t tried it out, do it today, all these features in a single app is a steal at $1.99! Get it today and you will truly know why it is called an All-in-one camera app!

On Feb 10th, most of you would have found us glued to our Macs or doodling around our phone, waiting for our comrades at the Macworld Expo to tell us the good news. If you aren’t catching my drift, Feb 10th was the day when the 2009 Best App Ever Awards results were to be announced. If you recall, Camera Plus and Camera Plus Pro, both, were nominated under the Photography Apps section.

Waiting eagerly for the good news, we were on cloud nine when we heard that Camera Plus Pro had bagged the third spot! Of course we owe this to all of you, who voted for it and supported us through out. Camera Plus Pro has also been picked as a Staff Favorite in several App Stores. The good news doesn’t end here. Our free iPhone camera app, Camera Plus has crossed 5 Million downloads and we are still counting! If you haven’t tried Camera Plus or Camera Plus Pro yet, try it today and join our growing family.

What do you do when you have to explain something? You could do a few things; give a lengthy explanation, type a lengthy mail; or use Voila to quickly and easily capture a screen-shot or record your screen. Yes I did just say that! Voila has been integrated with the screen recording feature allowing you to record amazing videos of all your on-screen activities. This version also sports better capturing and file management options, additional tools, filters and sharing options. Read on to know more..

The Screen-recording feature enables you to record all your on-screen activities along with audio in full screen or a selected area. You will be amazed with the High-Quality resolution videos of your screen, recorded with Voila.  You can then instantly upload these videos via YouTube, FTP or SFTP. Frequent requests for the ability to capture the Menu with Title, supporting Firefox and capturing web-pages which retain the URL in-case you want to revisit the web page, were considered and included in this version. Tools such as Marquee lets you select an area within a screen capture in various shapes and Eraser helps in removing sensitive information from your screen captures.

Most of you would rather use the short cut keys to take a quick capture and this version provides you with the flexibilty to assign a Function Key or any single key as a shortcut. Regarding FTP upload, many users found it a bit confusing. Thus we have made FTP and SFTP uploading more flexible and easy. The Search has been optimized in such a way that you can now search for your image files or videos by  their Name, Title, URL, Tags or Description.  There are a whole lot of more changes made in this version. You can read more about them from here.

However, what you must keep in mind is that this is a Beta version of Voila. Your feedback on its features and functionality at this stage is very important. Your feedback from this beta will be incorporated into the final release. Also Voila v3.0 Beta is an Upgrade. If you are an existing registered customer of Voila, then you need to install the new Beta v3.0 of Voila in a separate location for testing purposes.

In case you do replace your older version of Voila with the current Beta, then you can download the old version from here. Delete the existing Voila application and install the old version. You can register the old copy with the registration code that you already have. Always ensure to take a backup of your Voila Images Database before upgrading/replacing/deleting the application. You can check the database location from the Preferences > General window.

Download Voila v3.0 Beta from here.

This version was planned keeping in mind the feedback that we received from all of you. You have supported us all this while and we know you will in the future as well. Hope you have a great time exploring the Beta version. Looking forward to your feedback!

P.S.: If you have purchased Voila v2.5 after December 2009, you will receive the upgrade to v3.0 absolutely free! So If you haven’t bought Voila yet, here is your chance to do it!
