The API to upload will stop working on July 30, 2011 and the service will completely shutdown on September 30, 2011. With that, Cinder’s purpose has come to an end and has been removed from the App Store.

To all of you who purchased and used Cinder, thank you very much and I’m sorry it’s the end of the road for the app. It was a fun ride, it’s sad to see it go.

If you recently bought Cinder and would like to receive a refund, please contact iTunes App Store support as only they can issue them.

This version fixes a crash for those of you using older devices (such as the iPhone 3G). Prior to that were a couple of bug fix releases that fixed authentication issues with Netflix along with some movie poster image downloading issues.

If you’ve been enjoying using QueueUp, please leave us a glowing review on the App Store. It would be much appreciated.

QueueUp is a Netflix client for your iPhone or iPod Touch that allows you to quickly search for and add items to your queue. It has a beautiful interface designed by Matt McCray with an awesome app icon designed by Kevin Andersson. Even better: it’s retina display ready!

The idea behind QueueUp is to focus entirely on the experience of adding a movie to your queue. Imagine you’re talking to your friend over lunch and they mention a movie you just have to see. You can pull out QueueUp and add that movie fast and get right back to the conversation.

Or maybe your waiting in line at the grocery store and see one of those DVDs they have at the checkout and instead of buying it, you decide you want to add it to your Netflix queue. Bam! QueueUp to the rescue.

QueueUp requires iOS 3.0 or higher and an active Netflix account. Only $1.99 on the App Store.

If you have already downloaded Cinder, go back to the store and “buy” it again. iTunes will re-download Cinder and replace the broken version with the new and improved one.

I’m really sorry about the delay, but now everything is right in the Cinder world! Enjoy!

I decided that BitBQ would cover Apple’s 30% and donate the full sale amount to Doctor’s Without Borders. Doing so means BitBQ made a $100 donation. While not a lot of money, I’m so proud to have contributed. Overall, Indie+Relief raised over $143,000 for Haiti! That’s an amazing number. Thanks to everyone who bought great Mac and iPhone software that made this possible.

Today, almost 150 Mac and iPhone companies are donating their sales to Haiti relief. It’s a great cause and BitBQ is participating and is donating to Doctors Without Borders.

Coming together like this is one of the reasons I really enjoy being apart of the Mac and iPhone development community. It’s amazing how quickly everyone rallied to this idea from Justin Williams.

If you’ve been eyeing any of the software listed on the Indie+Relief, today would be an excellent day to buy it.
