Wrong way! After months of waiting for an update I find that the app, had changes name and developer, is no longer associated to the purchaser of the previous version. Two weeks to notice? Great! You could find another way to protect older buyers. I’m very sorry.

Hey, I was owner of LittleSnapper for iPhone app, and I found just now, the LittleSnapper is not LittleSnapper anymore, and not free. Great.

Jared: Cinder is in the final testing phase and I expect to submit it to Apple on Sunday. It will then depend on how long it takes Apple to approve it.

Any news on when you’ll finish this? We’re stuck and looking at other options.

Congratulations on the deal! Are you willing to share the acquisition details? We did that when we acquired Where To? a year ago:

It turned out to be very successful in terms of press coverage.

@izdale Ah, sorry, I forgot to add Cinder today to the page and of course now GetSatisfaction is down for maintenance. I like your FTP idea. I’ll add it to the “future features” list. I think the initial focus will be full Ember client, but additional upload locations is certainly something I can see adding.

I would, but Cinder isn’t listed there yet. Unless you want me to add it to Emergency Info or FitnessTrack.

The idea is that you can easily publish photos to your own FTP server from the app. So in the settings, you would enter the server, user name, password, path, port, and web address. When you want to publish a photo in Cinder, it brings up the choices Ember and FTP, and then uploads it to the one you choose. This is because I don’t use Ember, but FTP would still give me a reason to use the app. Or you could really go the distance and make it a complete photo uploading app, with options for image shack, flickr, etc. But if the main idea is Ember, then that’s fine, it’s just a suggestion.

@izdale For FTP, were you thinking to a FTP server you’ve setup? As for syncing with the Mac app, I’m not sure as it will require Realmac providing a way to do so. Have to see how that plays out. Would you mind opening up your FTP idea on the BitBQ GetSatisfaction page? http://getsatisfaction.com/bitbq

There are 2 main things I was hoping to see from the app. Syncing with the images in the LittleSnapper Mac app, and uploading images via FTP. Are either or both of those in the future? Thanks.
