Today, I’m taking a look at TweetCapz, an iPhone application that lets you add captions, speech bubbles and emoticons to photos that you can share on Twitter, Facebook or via e-mail.
After installation the application (it costs $1.99 but there’s a special launch price of 99 cents), TweetCapz gives you two options: you can take a new photo or use an existing photo on your iPhone.
After adding a caption, bubble or emoticon, you select how you want to share the photo, and send it on its way. Below, you’ll see a photo that I recently took, and shared through Twitter.
TweetCapz is quick, easy to use and entertaining. For 99 cents, it’s a pretty good investment.
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.
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.
Ok, so now that you’ve got all the paper work done (which you can do in a few hours) and you’ll be waiting for Apple to approve your Developer Program application, it’s time to start learning Objective-C and all things iPhone SDK. But first, what do you need to buy?
So you want to build an iPhone App and make millions, eh? Well, so do we and while we’re not quite making millions yet, we thought we’d chronicle the steps we’ve taken and the hurdles we’ve passed to get our first app, iHeartRate, built and launched on the App Store. Now, we’re not saying that this is the BEST way to do this, but rather we’ve found it to be a pretty effective path to get your first App out.
If you know nothing about what it will take to sign up for the iPhone Developer Program, don’t know Objective-C, or don’t even own a Mac yet but you’ve heard all the success stories and want to join the iPhone App Gold Rush, then have no fear, this is written for you. Even if you know it all, you might still find some useful tips here.
