Santa's Message released!

We're very excited to announce our newest app (which we burned a lot of 'midnight oil' to get out in time for Christmas!), Santa's Message!

This app allows you to record a message in your own voice (well, your 'best Santa impression', at least!) and play it back in 'Santa's voice'. We used the studio-quality voice modulation library DIRAC and were very happy with the results!

This app requires a microphone, which means all iPhone users can run it straight on their phones. For iPod touch users however, only second-generation devices can record with this app - and to do this, you will need to attach a microphone. You can get a microphone in an Apple iPhone headset, or any other iPod-compatible headset with a microphone.

After some extensive testing and bug fixing, we have a version 1.1 that is waiting to be approved by Apple -- this fixes every issue we were able to find in the app, from the vocal effect slider not working as expected to recordings not playing back, etc. Version 1.1 should be live on the store in the next couple of days.

** UPDATE! **

Version 1.1 was approved and is now the current version for sale. We are still working diligently to provide the best Santa voice modulator program on the App Store, but this version should be a lot better for anyone who's used version 1.0. We will have a version 1.1.1 to fix a couple of additional bugs we've discovered and will provide ad-hoc installation instructions for anyone who wants the new version (once we're done with it) right away!
