Beta Ba, Beta Bing. For now.
We're wrapping digital information onto the urban landscape.
Beta Launch, Partner Call-up, Whatdoyathink?
Last week we decided to push the button and go live with our beta in Sydney - the rest of the world will just have to wait for now. It’s been something which we had been working on for the past 7 months and had been released in limited functionality back in April with the debut of our initial iPhone app on Apple’s App Store.
Now we have revamped our website and more importantly, it allows organisations (we like to call them Partners) to create geo-tagged Notices about their events and promotions through an easy to use web interface. We’re especially calling out to event, festival and campus student clubs and society organisers but also businesses to sign up as Partners and try out for themselves and see how Axle8 can be used complement their existing communication channels.
For those of you which have already tried out our iPhone app, we’d love to hear what you think. From bugs to suggestions or even why you like it, we would appreciate hearing from you! We use getsatisfaction.com’s social support site so you can see what feedback other people have given and even vote for features that other people have suggested. So visit www.getsatisfaction.com/axle8 and let us know what you think!
Zero Point Nine: Beginning of a new era
Our first update to date was submitted to Apple last Friday and today we just got notification that it’s “In Review”! This much anticipated new release will feature more improvements and enhancements that you can count on one hand which has resulted from many solid (and grueling) hours of coding.
Firstly, we have vamped up the interface making your Axle8 experience better in every way! Our images have been given a much needed makeover and some new ones have been added in to the fold. We’ve also added sharing onto Facebook and via email so you can let your friends know all about your adventures and shenanigans.
Next up is our support of iOS 4 so you can be sure that even better features will be on their way shortly! We haven’t even scratched the surface yet.
Finally, the completion of this new version marks the beginning of a critical stage in our development. Not only is our iPhone app developed, we’ve completed our minimal viable product (MVP in Eric Ries’ Lean Startup philosophy lingo) of our web app which will allow marketing partners create and manage the Notices they post on the Axle8 network. Soft launch and beta release here we come!
We’ll be reaching out to event and festival organisers as well as campus and college student societies, clubs and groups soon so you’ll be finding all the information about the coolest stuff that’s happening around you! If you have any organisation you think would be interested in being a partner, we’d love to speak to them!
So, keep an eye out for the update on the Apple App Store and let us know what you think. :)
PS: We may still yet win that World Cup sweepstakes… Go Oranje!
