Waiting on the Beta – Where is the Beta – I want the Beta

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

While we continue to slowly open the VoiceCentral Black Swan beta to more and more people, we ask for your patience and understanding.

With all the awesome suggestions for the final name of the app, and the great press, it’s no wonder we’ve received many emails that say:

When in God’s name can I get hold of that awesome Apple Killing App? I’ve been looking for a way to stick it to them since the [wonderful people at Apple] unilaterally pulled those Google Voice apps from the Store. You should be suing [them] for the cost of supporting customers that they left stranded. The web app should send an email to [the guy who looks like Noah Wyle] on each install that says “Another one bites the dust,” and one to [The guy who personally approves each and every app], if he is real. Oh, and that tard [don't be nasty]. What a tool.

Please note that the only response you’re likely to see is:

Thank you for your interest in VoiceCentral Black Swan. The beta program is limited to a private (mostly internal) set of users at this stage. We will be opening it up to more and more users throughout January and February. Be on the lookout for an activation e-mail at the address you provided with your registration when your account is ready to use.

Just be patient, and remember how long it took Google to process your Google Voice request.

The Countdown Has Begun!

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

This holiday season, we would like to give something back. So here’s more about Voice Central Black Swan Edition.

We feel it is ready for beta testing which will be starting very soon and we’re counting on the patient iPhone user, Google Voice lover community to help us put the finishing touches for the 1.0 release.  Enough said, go check it out.

Happy holidays!

Brian has posted a demo of VoiceCentral on YouTube.  If you have a GrandCentral or Google Voice account and an iPhone, check out the video below to see how much easier your life could be.

VoiceCentral Submitted to the App Store

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

We’ve just submitted our 2nd app, VoiceCentral, to the App Store.

VoiceCentral integrates GrandCentral/Google Voice with your iPhone. We have been long time users of GrandCentral (GC), but have always wanted a better integration between GC and the iPhone. We decided to build our own way to get Voicemails and dial out using GC. Google Voice made huge improvements over what GC provided but the experience still lacked what we wanted out of GC/GV and the iPhone.

We built VoiceCentral to fill in these gaps and it provides a way for you to access your voicemails on GrandCentral or Google Voice (if you have switched yet). We also allow you to place calls via GC/GV for free and integrate your iPhone Contacts with your GC/GV voicemails.

With VoiceCentral you’ll be able to

  • Log into either GrandCentral or Google Voice.
  • View a list of messages and listen to only the ones you want.
  • Toggle between the earpiece for privacy and the
    speakerphone for convenience.
  • Easily pause, rewind, or fast forward to any point in a message as it plays.
  • Delete messages when using GrandCentral (not available for Google Voice).
  • Create a new contact using the name and phone number on the message.
  • Securely store your password on the iPhone’s keychain for auto-login.

Easy Dials It Lite Available in the App Store

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

We thought we’d put together a Lite version of our Easy Dials It app.

Easy Dials It Lite provides all of the same functionality as Easy Dials It, but only stores your 2 favorite contacts. It’s a great way to see how useful Easy Dials It is without forking over all that hard-earned cash.

Easy Dials It Feedback and Marketing

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

The App Store and YouTube reviews so far have been great. We did get a comment from Jeff at 148apps.com who we asked to review the app:

“You really think people will take you seriously with those sample names?

Odd.”

While Easy Dials It is an elegant and professional application, we chose to create goofy photos and names to make it eye catching. The UI is intentionally minimal so there’s not many ways to distinguish ourselves. The funny thing is one of the goofiest names we used is my Dad’s actual name. :-)

Just posted the Easy Dials It overview on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWtlds_jczw. Also dropped a note to Arkadiusz at 2pixels to let him know we give him props at the end.

Easy Dials It is in the App Store!

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

We were accepted by the App Store on Friday. We initially were rejected for reasons we’ll blog about later. We’re still scrambling to get the bits and pieces into place. We’ll have our screencast up soon so you can see Easy Dials It in action. We’re very excited!
