• Part 3: The Design
• Part 4: The Build
• Part 5: Coming soon…

If you’ve been following along in our blog series, hopefully, at this point you should already be in the Build stage of your app. You know what you want to build and you know how to build it so the only thing we can offer at this stage are some tips, tricks and random helpful hints to make the build process a little easier and get you on the app store that much quicker.

For those of you following us on Twitter, you’ve probably already heard of TweetCapz. Which is good, since that was the plan.

For everyone else, I’m thrilled to announce our new iPhone application, TweetCapz!

What is TweetCapz?

“Snap. Caption. Share!” is our tagline. It captures the essence of what TweetCapz is about.

Snap. TweetCapz allows you to use the iPhone camera to take a picture or choose one from the your iPhone photo library..

Caption. Once you have your photo, you can now dress it up with our huge selection of labels, LOLCats-style text, speech/thought balloons, emoticons, and graphics. You can drag and drop these elements and arrange them anywhere on the photo…

Share! With your finished masterpiece, you can share them with your friends via Twitter, Facebook, or plain old email. You can also just save it to your photo library for later.

Here’s a sample photo that has been TweetCapz’d (is that a word?):

We are also launching a TweetCapz community site, www.tweetcapz.com, where you can view all the TweetCapz photos that have been tweeted.

That’s TweetCapz in a nutshell! The launch sale price is $0.99 and it should in the App Store in a couple of weeks.

In the meantime, join us on our Facebook page Facebook.com/endloop and follow us on Twitter @endloopinc to keep up on the latest developments.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment!

Ok, so now that you’ve got all the equipment and resources that you need, fleshed out your idea and you’re finally ready to dive into coding, you must keep one thing in mind - no matter how amazing or game-changing your app may be, if it looks and behaves like ass, people will think it IS ass. Design, usability, and sex-appeal are all just as vital to your app’s success as the function it performs.

First off, apologies for the delay in Part 3 of our blog series. Inspiration for our next app hit us rather suddenly and we’ve been working like dogs ever since to get it done. And true to our blog series, we managed to go from concept to Beta in about 3 weeks.

That being said, we’re just ironing out the last few bugs and will most likely be submitting it before the weekend is done. And then after that, it’s in Apple’s hands. In the meantime, we’re keeping it under wraps for now but we’ll definitely be letting everyone know what it is soon!

In other news, we’re also finishing up iHeartRate 1.4 which will allow you to manually enter in your heart rate. A few users have asked for this feature citing that while it’s virtually impossible to take your pulse while running on a treadmill, they would still like to use iHeartRate as our calorie burn calculator is more accurate and personalized than the one on the treadmill itself. This will allow users to use the treadmill for measuring their HR while inputing the measurements into iHeartRate. Also, iHeartRate will give you a more accurate indication of which aerobic zone you’re currently in and what you need to do to get into your Target Zone. We hope to submit this early next week.

And last, but not least, we’re drafting Part 3 of our blog series so expect to see it here sometime soon.

As you can tell, it’ll be a busy weekend for us. For the rest of you, have fun and keep fit!
