Is this app only good for Apple products? If this app is available for Blackberry (Canadian), please let us know. thanks
Hi Ian,
Yes, this year our app is only available for iPhone, the iPod Touch and the iPad, but we hope that next year we’ll be able to have versions available for people who use blackberries and androids too.
Hi again,
We looked into doing multi-platform again this year. it’s possible, but too expensive for us to develop right now. Our developer says the market is still mostly iPhone…Sorry if this excludes you!
When will the 2011 information for the iPhone app be available or updated? Thanks.
Depending on what stats you look at android users have a very big share of the market. iPhones generally have an edge within the acting community, but android is close to (if not more than) 50% of the general smartphone share … again, it all depends where you get your stats
Thanks for the input Megan. We’ll see what we can do for 2012. Perhaps the cost will go down. Right now each platform costs the same so covering another platform doubles the cost. But the more popele use their phones as a program guide, the more worthwhile it will be.
Pierre, we’re hoping to go live August 17th! It’s being checked by Apple right now. Fingers crossed.
BTW, it will be a new version with some nice upgrades from last year.
umm, i bet this is a super lame question but….i just re-downloaded the app for this year, and it has all last years info! Any suggestions?
THANKS!
Hi Robyn,
We’re currently waitin on approval from Apple, so fingers crossed this happens sooner, rather than later.
hmm, can you please send out an email to the mailing list when the app is ready!? thanks for all the good work.
The 2011 app is now ready everyone! Thanks for you patience. You can download it here: http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/id382143509
