Topic: The Down In Front App [Beta!] :: Now available on the Android Market.

Hey, cool. I'm hijacking my own thread.

We decided to go ahead and release the app with only limited testing because only limited testing was being done anyway. So, have fun folks. You can find the app by searching for "Down In Front" on your Android phone, or by going to https://market.android.com/details?id=down.in.front and having it download straight to your phone from there. Post any bugs you guys find here instead of littering the market with them. Praise can go to the market, however. I'm a greedy bastard that way.

Lemme know what you guys think.

p.s: Apparently an iOS app may be coming sooner than I thought (which, as of noon today, was never). Details coming soon.

Android only, or will this be coming to iOS?

There will definitely be an iOS version at some point. I just have all of the tools to develop an Android app readily available right now.

EDIT: There will be no iOS version until Apple decides to release a Windows version of the sdk.

Well, that saves you ever having to learn Objective C, then.

Re: The Down In Front App [Beta!] :: Now available on the Android Market.

Yeah, although I've just been told there may be a mac temporarily in my future. I just can't win around here.

On another note, update inc.

Gimme a couple weeks or so to get re-situated (moving soon), but I'm on a Mac, and I'd be happy to take a crack at an iOS version, or at least help.

Got my first review on the app. I laughed out loud.

"Awwwww it disipointed me I thought u get to watch movies but instead its just a bunch of nerds talking about the movies ugh!!!!!"

So, the next feature I plan to add (might take a backseat to the iPhone app should that happen soon) is to allow you to download the episode directly from the app. This will help the app's biggest flaw (which I can't control, sadly), allowing you to more easily jump around a commentary once you've started it. Once you have it downloaded, it should automatically play from that rather than stream it.

Sometime this weekend, there will be a small update that adds in the current play time.

So, I got you guys a present. It's not quite done, but almost. Here's a sneak peak:

Pardon the track lengths, I actually stopped downloading it at 14%. pimp

I'm sorry that real computer scientists use Windows and/or Linux to develop things.

Maybe someday, Harbin. Maybe someday.

Is there a way to download commentaries using the app, or am being a doofus and missing something?

My version does. tongue

If you want the apk that does it, I can put it online, but it's not quite where I want it, and there may be a few bugs. It does, however, work.

While I fully intend to finish working on the Android App's next update first (you know, now that I have DIF3 finally knocked out), I did start putting together something else this evening.

It will. I've already got ideas for how to make it look sexy on the iPad.

If you make it work well on the iPad, I will shell out the money to install that Dick Port on the iPad so I can make sweet love to it.

That's no joke, that accessory is expensive.

If this works, I'll buy a frigging iPad to use it on.

... and possibly investigate that dick port.
