IfByPhone’s Voice Broadcast iPhone Application

Started by khylek · 11 months ago

IfByPhone (my employer if you’re new here) released it’s Voice Broadcast application into the iTunes store.  It’s pretty simple actually.

You choose some contacts, record a message (IfByPhone will call either your iPhone or any other phone you’d like).  Then the message gets sent out when you want it delivered.

    I just wish these new-ish applications for the iPhone were tested a bit more. Many of them - including, sadly, this one, are a bit crashy. With Broadcast, if I get more than a few names in the list, it crashes and goes back to the iPhone home screen. Really a bummer, because I was trying to set this application up as an emergency contact notifier for my office of about 25-30 people. I've tried several times and I only get up to about 10 names and that's it. It crashes. I hope it does get tested and the kinks worked out so I can actually use it. This is one of those great applications that I wouldn't have even thought of if I hadn't seen it, but now that I have, I'm wondering how else I could solve the problem!

    Keith, thanks for your feedback. I wasn't aware that the application crashed when submitting that many contacts. I'm a little surprised, because I know people are using it to send out messages with many more contacts than you mention.

    I'm passing the information along to our Support team.

    Keith, I talked to our developers. We're already at work on the problem - apparently it occurs when people have a very large number of contacts. We'll fix the problem as soon as we can. After it's fixed, generally there is about a 1 week delay before the change is uploaded to the iTunes store. We'll make sure to let you know when the change is put in.

    I also wanted to mention that we have over 1,500 subscribers for this application, many using it regularly, so the problem appears to be unique to a small number of people.

    Thanks again for the feedback!
