QuadCamera - Not working in this moment, working version is aloready sent to apple more than month ago. However, there is no feedback yet from them.
SepiaCamera - No problem..
ToyCamera - No problem.
OldCamera - No problem.

I feel really really sorry to you guys who use my apps. I have already sent OS3.0 working version of QuadCamera more than month ago. However apple’s black-holl review never replys any feedback even rejection.

Now I’m hardly trying to contact to Apple. However what I can do is almost done, and what they do will decide QuadCamera’s future. Very sorry about your inconvenience.

Not only my QuadCam but also many famous camera app like SteadyCam has been in same situation. They supported iPhone OS3.0 but apple not got approved it.

I never give up to my app got approved. If you are happy to be wait, please wait a while, or contact to apple to complain situtation, e.g. developer already sent new version long time ago but not got it approvet etc. It may changes situation.

Now I’m doing user support to almost 70000 users without any help. I reads all mails, comments send to me, however reply will be late or bcc mail. To find my recent status, please check my twitter account. Most of my times are just spent for user support.

Again sory about your inconvenience, but I promiss I will do do what I can do as much as possible.

Crazy situation is that, until iPhone OS3.0 release, I can not write about it on iTunes store, because iPhone OS3.0 is part of NDA. Writing about it on the iTunes store might cause of rejecting my update of QuadCam for OS3.0.

As same reason, I can not remove it from store, because once I close, update can not be provided anymore. :-(

I read this Macworld’s article.
As an article described, now QuadCamera has been getting rejected almost 2month.

Good news is I’m still keep on trying to update QuadCamera. Bad news is I don’t know when Apple will approve my app to the store.

I dont want to throw my project into bin, because more than 60000 user downloaded QuadCam and, some of them are really looking for 3.0 support. I dont wont to make such a number of people dipress. However if I cant release QuadCam1.95 before iPhone OS3.0, it will be removed from the app store and people never play with QuadCam anymore. :-(

Also until it is out, I cant really focus on to next project. Is very frustrating.

Finally my TiltShift app is out!

This one is not iPhone application, but online web service and local adobe AIR application, that can make your photos lovely on the fly. :-)

Simply import your picture to the app and you can add several ToyCamera effect to your photo.
Its free! Enjoy!

Here is a quick preview of coming my next project,

This is a post processing effect app. TiltShift Generator. It supports tilt-shift, vignetting, and color balance controll, drag & drop, read & write file.

These samples are taken with my ToyCamera app, and after I used my new app.

Good news is that this is free! This app is not for iPhone, but both Web service / Desktop app with great Adobe Technoology.

As some people reported, in this moment QuadCamera doesnt run with iPhone OS3.0 beta.
I will fix this problem as soon as possible, definitly before iPhone OS3.0 product release.

Thanks

Finally, I could run QuadCamera and ToyCamera both on OS2.2 and OS3.0. I wil send fixed version to apple. I hope you can get it soon.

QuadCamera 1.95 is sent to apple. Problem is that they keep rejecting my recent update for more than three weeks. I hope it can be out, but not sure.

After several rejection of apple, QuadCam 1.9 is finally out.

Series of minor setting is added to iPhone’s general setting area.
Also if you still use old iPhone OS, please update to iPhone2.2.1 with iTunes.

- Disabling border line.
- Disabling vignetting.
- Disabling shutter sound.
- Enablng TapAnyware feature.

How to use TapAnyware
First open iPhone’s setting app, not QuadCamera. Scroll down the menu, and you will see preference for QuadCamera. Tap and open preference, and you can see serires of minor settings.

Enjoy :-)

Engadget just posted a rumous about iPhone OS3.0.

Its not sure but, if iPhone OS has huge change, previous apps may not work properly. It is recommended that check this blog before you update iPhone from OS2.2.

As soon as I get PUBLIC info about iPhone OS3.0, I will test my apps and share the result, and I will update my apps if needed. Remember the update from OS2.1 to 2.21, most of camera apps get blured image bug of OS. Be sure early birds get anything, in this case.

Now ToyCamera banner is placed on the top of the AppStore Japan and start page. :-)
Seems ToyCamera is one of the top seller camera app in Japan. Thanks for everyone.

Today I received QuadCamera1.5 (iTunes) ’s “Ready for Sale” male from apple. New version has following feature…

- new Vivid effect
- new HiCon effect
- shutter sound completely syncs image now.
- 30% speedup
- progress bar is added.

It would be great, if you love new version and review(iTunes) it for me :-)

For the future update, I’m considering non-effect mode, some kind of shutter effect(iris animation, or simple flashing). In this moment separate image and hi-resolution is very difficult, because of iPhone’s machine power.

Feel free and let me know your idea. Thanks:-)

Now I’m considering to add Iris Animation Effect to QuadCamera.
I’dont know it’s technically possible or not, but definitely attractive isn’t it?
