Why are there only 4 formats?

We introduced the application with the major theatrical and TV release formats only. Look for future updates as we expand functionality.

Sometimes the GPS or compass or sun rise / set are blank or inaccurate. Why?

The metadata is dependent on the iPhone.


USER QUESTIONS

Any possibility of lens sizing in there even with diminished resolution would be a grand addition?

We are working on a variable focal length solution that won't sacrifice resolution and lets you get wider than iCamera.

iPad version coming soon?

We are considering adapting the app for the iPad 2 now that a camera feature is included on that device. The iPad 2 will be released March 11, 2011.

Can you set custom ratios within the app?

Not at this time, but it is on our requested features list.

Will the MobileMe interface mimic the native iPhone library interface?

Not at this time, but we intend to address this in a future release.

There isn't anyway to overlay the display info like with the pics to the video?

We are limited by Apple's API. We are working with them to resolve this.
