A very interesting article published by Stuart Dredge for The Guardian this afternoon discusses the developers behind the uber popular app, Paper, FiftyThree in which in their latest Series A funding, they raised $15m and ‘explicitly outlined ambitions for “moving beyond touch and into the physical world of accessories” – drawing on its team’s hardware experience within Microsoft (Kinect, Xbox and the never-launched Courier) and Sonos’. ‘In 2013, FiftyThree has been taking Paper’s digital charms into the physical world. Earlier this year, it created a customised version of the app for the Fashion Rules exhibition at Kensington Palace in London, helping visitors design their own dresses while gazing at real royal…

Vintage The Guardian Smartphone Article, by Me
As many of our regular readers know, I have been a camera/photography technology journalist for many years. From my earliest days starting out at Which Camera? magazine through to now with my dream website, theappwhisperer.com. I thought some of you might like to read one of my very first articles for The Guardian, from 2005, when ‘cameraphones’ were becoming very popular. This is four years before the advent of the iPhone and apps were not even thought of. Did any of you have these handsets? How times move on, take a look at this….

iOS Apps Affected By Corruption In The App Store
My pal, Charles Arthur has just published to The Guardian that ‘more than 70 apps which have been updated since 3 July are crashing on launch, apparently due to a problem with Apple’s FairPlay DRM system’. Charles explains ‘Scores of apps, including the free version of Angry Birds, which have been updated in Apple’s App Store for both iOS and Macs over the past few days are suffering corruption that makes them crash on launch, even when they are deleted and reinstalled’. The Guardian did manage to get a response from Apple but only suffice to say they were looking into it. You can read more about what Charles has…

Waste Of Time Using App Downloads As A Measure Of Success
Our pal Stuart Dredge has written an interesting piece in The Guardian Apps blog today, he talks about how ‘the mobile apps industry is suffering from ‘download-milestone overkill’. By that he explains that developers and publishers are more than happy to boast about how many times their apps have been downloaded and yet analysts and even the store owners themselves are only using downloads as a key metric to gauge success, in other words, they’re only a guide to potential success. You can read more of this interesting report by clicking here.
