KATG.com iPhone App 1.2
 

I just submitted 1.2 to the app store.

A whole gaggle of new good. I think everyone will like it.

I need to know who is still interested in testing KATG iPhone app betas.

If you were in the beta I don't need your UDID, but I do need to know you are still interested.

If you are not in the beta but are interested in testing beta app builds and reporting bugs, then PM your device UDID and device type.

I need a group of about 10 people with all the different iPhone OS devices to test and report bugs so I can start iterating the app more rapidly. Right now it's pretty much just me doing as much testing as I can which makes things slow.

Hayroob, you are my favorite person. I just spent over an hour in a traffic backup and was able to listen to the stream of the marathon podcast on my iphone.
Tanks!

Dis the same this morning

After upgrading this morning, I noticed that the stream kept cutting out way more than normal with listening via the app. the iPhone claimed full 3g reception, but the show would only play for a few seconds up to a minute at most. I'm quick to blame AT&T's shitty service, but thought you should know(it was a pretty noticeable change the moment I upgraded). I also noticed a strange rendering of the No Service notification text earlier today. Took a screen shot to show you that particular case.

Thanks for all your work. The app is great.

The cutting out is the server being hammered silly. It was fine until the server got past 95% capacity

Nice, I like the interface changes!

Thanks, buy a book and send the receipt to katg to thank me.

DO IT

Doug, the new audio streaming engine is nice. Instead of cutting out like it was a lot for me when moving and having to hit stop/play over and over, it buffered and picked back up after a quick miss. The difference from yesterday to today was night and day.

You the man.

I don't know if you have checked out the This American Life iphone app but they have implemented a really elegant way of playing archived shows. Might be something to check out for the future. Thanks for the app though it's great. I'll send a couple bones your way for your efforts
