Catching up…
Ten weeks ago, Simplify debuted in the Apple App Store. Since then, we’ve released a few updates, worked through growing pains, and been fortunate to read some very nice things about our application. Last month, PC Mag called it "essential for music fanatics with iPhones" and, this month, we were profiled in Fortune.
A number of Mac and iPhone-focused blogs like MacLife have been kind enough to review us. We earned 5 M’s from iPhone Matters, 5 thumbs up from iReview iPhoneApps, and 9 stars from both HawtApps and Cocoa Touch Apps. A few more:
What’s On iPhone - That’s not Simple - that’s Amazing!
The iPhone Apps Blog - The best iPhone app so far
Maciverse - Simplify Media lives up to the hype
App Alert - Simplify Media is my favorite app I’ve used so far
iPhone3GHacked - worth a spot on your iPhone? Absolutely
Paste Magazine - This is by far the coolest app I’ve downloaded
iPhone Know How - Just remember one thing. Before you accept friend requests, make sure you go and delete your old Backstreet Boys albums
More suprising to us still are the video reviews. Some examples:
MobiRiot (video link) - MobiStars: 10/10: Must have for your iPhone
AppVee (video link) - Simplify Media is a must have app
iPhoneAppy (video link) - A fantastic application! Really easy to use
T4 Show (video link) - The best part is that it’s not just for Mac, it’s for PC and Linux
and there are others from iPhoneNuts, ehPhone.ca, L2Raykage, Scottio200, Robert and TheiPhoneGuru.
While we focused on improving the product we neglected to show our gratitude, so we’d like to correct that. Thank you for introducing us to your friends, and thank you for helping others to get started (in Spanish, German and Linux too). Thank you for your App Store reviews (more than 1000 so far), and thank you for continuing to spread the word. We really appreciate the support!
ronijean - I cannot sing Simplify Media’s praises enough
JeaNie - so amazing, it’s going to leave you speechless
Brendan - Quite apart from the mind-blowing technical feat here… the sound came through with, as far as I could tell, original quality.
grammaticaster - I have 40 GBs of music at home, and now I can listen to every track whether I’m at the coffee house or the office or wherever. Superuseful!
Jonathan - Wow!!!
Russell - You Gotta Try This!
Derek - This beauty allows you to access your home iTunes library when you’re on the go.
Craig - while driving around town I was listening to music streaming from my iTunes music library located at home over my car radio
Stephen - I’m streaming ~90GB of music on my iPhone from my Mac at home via my company’s public WiFi

Phil’s Tech Blog - The more I played with it, the more I liked it

From around the world:
iPodizados - el precio es justo, la flexibilidad es excelente y funciona
LMPDesign - Super Spielzeug zum zeit verbraten und neue Musik konsumieren
iPhoneItalia - l’importante è crearsi un account sul sito degli sviluppatori e configurare il client sul proprio Pc seguendo pochi e semplici passi
ケータイWatch- 例えばHDD内に100GBの音楽ファイルがあっても、それを出先から聴けるようになるのだ。神!! 神アプリかも!!
olof - Bäst av allt är att programmet även letar reda på texter och information om artisten
Michael - Besonders schick: Man kann bis zu 30 weitere Nutzer zum Genuss der eigenen Musik einladen
都界村- これはすごいiPhone用アプリが出たもんだ!!!
Mac:Cafè - l’ho appena installato e devo dire che il suo funzionamento è decisamente ottimo!
Le jornal du Mac - Je viens de tester au boulot sur mon iPhone en Edge, et ça marche du tonnerre. Joie. Reste plus qu’à trouver le revers de la médaille, parce qu’une app comme ça gratuite, ça m’étonne.
Remixtures - Contudo, existe na minha opinião uma aplicação que por si só faz com que valha a pena pagar os tais 499 euros pedidos pelas operadoras nacionais pelo modelo de 8 Gigabytes. Estou a falar da versão móvel do Simplify Media.
A final note: as planned, we are starting to charge in the App Store. The price is $3.99 in the US and Canada, €2,99 for the EU, £2.39 in the UK and ¥450 for Japan. This only applies to first-time downloads, so existing iPhone app users do not need to pay. The Windows, Mac and Linux desktop versions remain free for everyone.
We’ll stay hard at work on bug fixes and new features. So, if you encounter problems, please try Troubleshooting — and hit Report Issue or email us at support at simplify media if that doesn’t help.
