Camera Plus Pro v2.6 has been quite some work where we have addressed issues hounding some of you. The release of the new iPod touch, also saw most of you demanding for a compatible version of Camera Plus Pro. Well, we are proud to say that you can now enjoy great photography and video recording on your new iPod touch with Camera Plus Pro! With this release we have also fixed issues and enhanced a few features. Read on to know more:

You must be aware that earlier photos and videos once synced to the Camera Roll, lost all their Meta Data. This was because the  iPhone OS did not support the export of EXIF tags from 3rd party apps. But with the latest iOS update 4.1 and a little bit of tinkering from our side, you are now able to sync all your photos and videos with the Meta Data intact.

Most of you are going to find this useful. Whenever we upload a photo or a video to Twitter, we unintentionally utilize all the 140 characters, thereby leaving almost no space for the URL to appear. To fix this, we have limited the number of characters in the description field to 114 characters to ensure that the entire tweet is visible.

Good news for those who had issues with the video recording duration being limited. We have been trying out different algorithms on how we could increase the video recording duration in the secret underground bunkers that form the Global Delight headquarters! Thus in this version you can enjoy unlimited video recording, along with improved video quality. Furthermore, the unexpected pop-ups that appear when you get a call or a message are now not recorded along with the actual recording. Sweet!

The Video Zoom has been an essential feature in Camera Plus Pro and we know exactly how important this feature is. To allow you to be able to zoom in while recording videos, we made use of this API CGImageRef UIGetScreenImage();. But this API is not a public API anymore. And since Apple does not allow for use of private APIs, we had to do away with this feature. However, Apple has provided a AV Foundation Framework Reference, with which we can now provide better quality video recording and photo capturing.

Apart from these, we have included some nifty features. To make saving photos easier, we have done away with manual save. Now all the photos are saved in the background, enabling you to focus on capturing those great shots. We have also added better looking labels taking advantage of the Retina Display on your iPhone 4 and the new iPod touch. This version is completely compatible with iOS 4.1 or later and we recommend you to update your iOS to enjoy all the features that Camera Plus Pro has to offer.

We have also fixed issues such as:

* The issue of uploads not appearing on the Twitter timeline

* Camera switch and Flash button disappearing

* Geo-Tagging feature not working offline

* Auto Focus not working after using the Tap to Focus feature

Camera Plus Pro v2.6 is thus a corrective version, fixing all the issues that some of you reported. We are grateful to all of you who got back to us with your issues, and your relentless support in helping us troubleshoot them. This has helped us in making Camera Plus Pro truly the best camera app on the App Store. If you think some of your issues have not been addressed, feel free to drop in a line. To know more about Camera Plus Pro and its amazing features, check it out on the App Store! We are working on a major update of Camera Plus Pro, which is definitely going to blow your minds! That’s all I can say, before I hit back to the bunker! Peace

One of my friends had this uncanny ability of reading people’s minds. And I hated him for the fact that he would never tell me how he did it. I know it’s a trick, but what could be cooler than being able to read minds? You could use it as the perfect icebreaker at a party, make new friends, baffle your old ones, amaze kids and so much more. And now, I have the perfect app to get even with my friend. Charm.

Yup, Charm is an app for your iPhone/iPod touch that can read minds. With a beautiful forest scenery as a backdrop, and soothing sound of Wind Chimes; Mystic Madame, (that’s what we all like to call her ) will welcome you to her land of Charm. The app is simple to use and looks very elegant. You will be provided with a list of numbers and corresponding symbols. With a little simple math involved, you will finally arrive at a symbol. Click on the Crystal Ball, and Mystic Madame will correctly identify the symbol that you had chosen. It does require that you be good at simple mathematical operations, which I know you all are. At just $0.99 on the App Store, you must give Charm a try. Get it Today! I am sure you will love it. Impress your family, friends and kids with it, and keep saying, “I wonder how it does that”.

Phew! What a week this has been. With Wisen Up out on the App Store, it’s been one roller-coaster ride. It’s really nice to see this personality quiz cum infotainment app picking up steadily. Yeah, and we owe it all to you, of course. Do show us your support by downloading the app, rating it and giving us your feedback, so that we can work on improving it. There are some great reviews on Wisen Up, which I shall cover in my next post. This post is mainly dedicated to tell you what we have been upto and what’s up.

First, what we have been upto. Of late, there have been some problems faced by some of our users of Voila Mac screen capture tool after updating to the latest version 2.1. Also, we have been testing Voila on Snow Leopard and also in the OS upgrade scenarios. Well the good news is, in most of the cases we have been able to identify the issues, a big thanks to our Customers who have been cooperative in troubleshooting. The bug fix is in progress and hopefully in the next few weeks we should have an update ready for release. So go ahead, continue using your Voila, bug-free (pun totally intended ) and send us some of your creations. We would love to showcase them on our site and on Flickr.

Just recently I downloaded some great High Quality videos using Web2 Delight. To make things even better, we have slashed the price of Web2 Delight to $9.95! Isn’t that just fab? It’s amazing how you can download your favorite videos from any video sharing sites from one location. I have created my own collection of some of my favorite videos using the organizer in the application.

We have released a new version of WordDigest, an English dictionary, thesaurus and spell checker app for your iPhone and iPod touch. This useful reference app has got a facelift with new interface along with some new features too. You can now add quick notes to the words, solve Crosswords and Anagrams on the fly, and learn few new words everyday. It’s a free update to the existing users, while the new users would pay just $1.99. The new version is available on the App Store, download it now and don’t forget to send us your feedback.

Well, next is what’s up. Hmmmm….. I shan’t tell you anything yet. Let’s see how good you are at guessing. Here’s the hint to what we are upto next:

Not really great at Cryptography, but there’s always a first time.
So keep guessing what’s up.
Until then, Peace!
