Simplicity from James Martin charting on iTunes App Store already! Lifestyle No.6 for iPad and No.27 for iPhone...

Well, we knew we were on to something with the new style and delivery of recipes and instructions with Simplicity – but in the space of just a few days over christmas, we have moved the iPad version of the app to No.6 in the iTunes App Store Lifestyle Section (with it being placed No.2 in the What’s Hot areas too) and a rapid rise to No. 27 for the iPhone version, which was only released on the 23rd of December 2010 – That’s only 4 days!

So to all of you out there who picked up a copy – A very big thank you – Hope you seriously enjoy using it and don’t forget it is the same app for both iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. If you own more than one of these devices, you only need to buy it once!

Keep the feedback coming. We have already had a point which had already planned to include in an update at a later date – but the more ideas you can give us, the better we can make it for you!

 

James Martin’s Food iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad Simplicity app now available on iTunes ready to buy or gift…

As of today, our simplicity app has hit iTunes for all of the iOS devices, including AirPlay compatibility for those running 4.2+

A one time purchase gives you the app across all of your devices. One cost, one great little mini-app. Perfect as a little self indulgence or as a gift as at 99¢ / 59p we couldn’t have given you more value if we had tried – And we certainly tried hard!

Timescapes: Rapture

Production footage from Tom's debut film "Southwest Light" - timescapes.org/​blog

Tom's working on a big 9-minute follow-up to "Learning to Fly", but it won't be ready till next summer. Meantime, here are some shots from my trip in August to California's White Mountains and Yosemite, all shot on the Canon 5D2.

By Tom Lowe @ Timescapes

Tom Lowe @ Timescapes  shot two panning timelapses, hours apart, and blended them together very crudely [his words].

He's going to see if I can make the blend a little better with After Effects.
