Awesome app! thank you.

Great app.  It does not show my latest video uploads though.  Thoughts?

Absolutely stunning! Thank you for making Xmas come early this year! 

Thank you all for your feedback, will be happy to discuss with the programmers and come back with their answers.

Please don't forget to rate the app in the AppStore!

I have been using the app for a very long time.  I upgraded the os on my phone to get this new version.  There are good bit and bad bits withthe new version.

I really like it when I am at home on wifi but find it really slow when out and about.  Most of the time the coverage where I am is Edge or less (the little circle) and it takes an age to load. 

I was hoping the DLs and $$s this month would make a reappearance preferably as well as the last 30 days.

Having separate screens for DLs and uploads was useful. Now I have to load the main screen and then load the DLs or uploads in addition if I want to show someone else (without showing them how much money I have).

I don't really understand the balance notification alert.  You have to manually refresh the app to get the total before it alarms.  This is only useful if you have no short term memory and can't remember what you want to hit.

The box at the bottom is very small for view the daily stats and now requires a lot of scrolling.

I haven't seen any adverts on mine yet and could you confirm that I want as I paid for previous version.

After checking back with our engineers, I'd like to follow up on the various posts and PMs I received:

First of all I'd like to thank you all for the positive feedback and the constructive recommendations!

First of all let me point out that the backend of the App is based on the data and api of www.istockcharts.de that we also maintain. Hence the figures and wording should be similar between the two applications.

Now in more detail:

Video-Uploads
The api of www.istockcharts.de currently supports only photos. Videos will be considered for future updates.

Android Version
Currently an Android version is not yet planned since we felt a strong corelation between photographers and Apple. However will put it on our list for future items.

Adds and versions previously bought
The App is developed completely from scratch basically, the version for iPad (in case you could not test it on an iPad let me toll you: own interface to make best usage of the iPad resolution) is a great addition in our opinion. Therefore in order to refinance at least part of the development of this App we hope you can accept the fact that the adds appear sometimes at the bottom of the screen. The money earned by these Apps will enable us to further improve and extend the App in the future. These adds btw are displayed for the various countries according to the amount of adds available, hence they do not necessarily appear each time.

Performance on mobile networks
One feedback we received frequently was that the data needs a long time to be downloaded when on the go in mobile networks. This is indeed a very valid feedback and we will take it into account for next versions - like a switch to only reload the numbers and no images while on the go. Problem will be that the screen then looks pretty empty but we'll be creative here as well!

Push Notifications
At the moment the App indeed only informs you upon start of the App or reloading its data once you reached the limit defined. This is due to the fact that we are dependent on the API of www.istockcharts.de and there is no continuous checking of your limits. However we consider this topic very important (also discussed it before releasing this version) and will be working on an improvement in the future.

Data related topics
Hiding the balance might indeed make sense and is on our list for future versions. Right now you can simply open the enlarged preview by clicking on one of the downloads or approved photos and then swipe through the photos.
Too few space for the figures at the bottom - I admit you need to scroll down in order to access the figures at the bottom of the screen - but then you'll have the benefit of swiping through the various data instead of clicking back and forth between the screens as in the previous version. On the iPad of course you have all information on one screen.
DLs and $$s this month indeed are not featured in this version since we implemented the detailled 30day table on the second screen.

Meaning of "Market Share"
Based on  www.istockcharts.de: Files in relation to Total Files (per thousand)

I hope this answers your questions, please feel free to reply or send me a PM with additional questions and feedback. We appreciate your support and will be happy to implement new features in the upcoming versions.

Best, Frank

If you're considering enhancements, one thing I'd like to have is the ability to show or not show the latest downloads and most recent uploads filmstrips.  If I had the option to turn those off I would imagine that I could then get more space for the stats and less time would be needed to load everything.  

And I think it's nice that you can generate some income from the ads, although I would like to have an opportunity to pay for an ad-free version because ads annoy me to no end.  I did pay originally for it and I'm not an iPad user so kind of feel a little cheated (like I'm subsidizing the iPad app that I don't even have) after being a long-time user.  

Would you consider offering an ad-free version for pay?  I know I paid originally, but with this complete re-write I think it would be worth it and I would pay (again) to upgrade if given the option.

awesome!  and, for what it's worth, I can live with ads on apps like this that are very useful to me.  though would, of course, still prefer to pay to have them removed .

Thanks so much for "listening."  Really appreciate the work you (an the team) do.
