2011

2011 has been a great year for Tektrify. We added three new apps iLoader 2, RecordNow and iLoader for Google+ to our list and made a few updates to iLoader 1, iLoader HD and iVideo. Here are what we have accomplished with them.

iLoader 2 – We ran into a few issues but we were able to iron them out and it is very well received now with all 5 stars rating. Love reading them! In the last update, we also added two premium effect packages Nostalgia and Grunge as in app purchases. It was pretty well received so thank you for your support and glad you guys like them. If you haven’t seen them, you should check them out!

RecordNow- It was pretty well received at first but not very well after. If you have RecordNow, please give us feedbacks so we can improve it and make it awesome like iLoader 2 and other apps.

iLoader for Google+- Sad to say but iLoader for Google+ seems to be a failure comparing to all our apps download numbers . We are guessing that everyone is still on Facebook and no one uses Google+. Will see how it goes for 2012…

iLoader 1- iLoader 1 is still pretty well received and used by a large number of fans. We were going to discontinue it but because of the large number of fans, we decided to keep it in the App Store and maintain it. We are still deciding on what to do.

iLoader HD and iVideo- We will be spending a lot of time with these two apps in the coming year because we didn’t give them as much attention as we would like so stay tuned!

Thank You

We want to take a little time to thank our graphic designer Jeff Holter, who make our apps look awesome, our support/testing team including Sam Nugent, Vien Hua and Nhu Vu for your top notch support and testing and our beta testers who helped us make sure that our apps are as bug free as possible. Without you guys, Tektrify will not be able to put out quality apps and provide the high quality support that we have been providing. Last but not least, we want to especially thank you guys for supporting us by buying our apps and using them so we can keep doing what we love. Without all of your support, we will not be here period! Thank you!

2012

We are very excited and really looking forward to 2012 because we have so much plans to bring you guys more useful and awesome updates, new apps and especially some new games. We will probably be expanding our little team to add more resources. We will be putting more resources into making some awesome games in 2012 so stay tuned! We also would like to run more giveaways and sweepstakes as we didn’t have time to run them this year.

We here at Tektrify, want to wish everyone a warm and prosperous New Year and hope that you can achieve anything that you set out to do! Don’t settle for any less and don’t keep up!

iLoader 2 $1.99 –> $0.99

iLoader HD for iPad $2.99 –> $1.99

iLoader for Android $1.99 –> $0.99

Here is a sneak preview screenshot of the app. What do you think?

Photo Editing View

We decided to use the Aviary iOS sdk because it was very easy to integrate, customize and use. The sdk provided all the basic photo editing features that we hope to add and a lot more on top of that. Partnering with Aviary will give iLoader 2 users more and better photo editing features and allows us to focus on our core batch uploading functionalities.

Download the update here to get all the new cool features!

New Features:
- Copy link to photos or video to clipboard after done uploading so you can post to Twitter or else where if you so desire since iLoader only let you post to Facebook or Twitter but not both
- Add Sepia effect
- Rename “Cancel” button to “Cancel/Refresh” button in select photo view so it is clear if you tap on that, your photos will be refresh

Fixes a few crashes related to Low Memory
- Could crash when start to upload
- Everything will be saved if app crash so you don’t have to start all over
- A few other minor bugs

Let us know what you think in the comments. Thanks!

1. Tap the camera button
2. Wait for Camera to load (appox. 3 secs)
3. Change option to video
4. Wait for it to load (appox. 2.5 secs)
5. Tap record
6. Tap stop
7. Wait for saving
8. Tap Home to exit

We believe that we don’t use our iOS device to record video a lot because it takes too much work to do it. Also, once you get the device to start recording, the moment might be over already. Do you guys feel that sometime? We think a lot of people will have that same problem too so that is why we develop RecordNow. With RecordNow, here is all you need to do to successfully record a video:

1. Tap app(start recording right away)
2. Tap Home to exit(auto stop and save to Camera Roll in background)

That is it, no fuzz no fiz, just record a video! It’s great for parents who have little kids, senior who have grand kids and want a simple video recorder and everyone else in between. RecordNow also allows you to take photos while recording if you want to which you can’t really do with the regular Camera. Check out the full description with all the features and screenshots on RecordNow product page. Please help spread the words to your friends and family who you think will find RecordNow useful. Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Check it out in the App Store!

Don’t miss a precious moment again!

We will try to be on GetSatisfaction, Facebook or Twitter. Please contact us via those channels if you have problems. Also, other users can help you out too.

Thank you for your support and understanding as always.

Uploading Screen

As you know, we have recently launch iLoader 2. It has been very successfully in many countries ranking in the Top 5 in Social Networking Category including the US, UK, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Canada, Italy and many other countries. We want to say thank you from the bottom of our heart to all the iLoader fans who have brought it. We love you guys and you guys are the reason we spent many sleepless nights coding away. We have a lot more awesome features coming to iLoader 2 so stay tuned!

You might have notice that we have been very slow in replying to our support emails. The reason is that we got so many of them because there were couple issues with iLoader 1 and iLoader 2 recently. All those issues are fixed with iLoader 2 update 1.0.2 and iLoader 1 update 2.4.4. We really apologize for not providing the top notch support that we have been doing. We have over 1 million iLoader users now not including other users from our other apps so our small support team(2) can not keep up. We have been searching for a better solution to solve this support issue and we have decided to use GetSatisfaction. It is a friendly support community where our support team can help you guys and users can help other users too. GetSatisfaction will make tracking and answering your problems, questions and suggestions a lot more efficient. We notice that the majority of our emails are of the same problem. It is not fun or efficient for our support team to answer 30 or 40 emails of the same problem. It is also a waste of time for 30 or 40 of you to write and send us the same email. With GetSatisfaction, only one of you need to report the problem and everyone else can just say “I have that problem too” and add any other details about the problem instead of reporting the same problem. Then we come in and answer it once. We think that will save you guys and our support team a lot of time. Our support community is also built right on Facebook so it is very convenient for you guys to report problems because we know that most of you guys are on Facebook most of the time . So are we .
