While we kept silent these days, we kept working.

Finally, we’ve Got Things Done, and are excited to announce that our first iPhone app is here for you to try.

Voodo is a really simple and powerful GTD/todo app on iPhone. Watch the demo, you’ll feel it:

Though we are professional mobile software developers, this is our first iPhone app, and there are many users know more about what’s good and bad about iPhone apps. So we decide to let prospective users decide whether it is good enough to enter Apple’s App Store. I mean, really, really good, so good that you’d like to pay several bucks for using it.

So we are calling for beta tester here. All beta testers have a chance to win a Promo Code1 of Voodo. You only need to:

  • Be the first to find either of the two hidden Editing Views not shown in the demo, or
  • Report a new bug and get confirmed, or
  • Request a new feature and get accepted, or
  • Just really think Voodo is the best, and be willing to Give Me Five on App Store and leave an awesome comment.

If you are interested, please:

  1. Follow us (or follow me) on Twitter.
  2. Spread the word for us.
  3. Prepare the UDID of your iPhone or iPod touch (iPhone OS 3.0 is required).
  4. Play with Voodo a lot if you become a beta tester, and tell us whatever you think about it, on Twitter, by Email, or in comments below.

Once we get a mention on Twitter, we’ll search the sender in our followers. If we find the match, you are registered. But there is a limit of the number of beta tester we can serve – 50, first come, first served. So be quick. We’ll announce it when the limit is reached. We’ll confirm with you as soon as we register you, and request your device’s UDID. Wow, we are overwhelmed by your passion. But I’m sorry, it’s full now. Follow us (or follow me2) on Twitter or on this blog, and be quick next time. But we are grateful if you can Spread the word for us.

We’ll build Voodo Beta and send out download link once we collect all beta testers’ UDID.

Thanks for you attention and all the buzz you are making. It’s Christmas coming, wish Voodo help you spend your holiday more productively.

假日魔术(Voodoo)

最近我们少说话,多干活。

现在,我们终于收工了。很兴奋的告诉大家,我们的第一款 iPhone app 诞生了。

Voodo 是一款十分简洁强大GTD/todo app on iPhone。 相信你能从下面的 demo 视频中感受的到:

虽然我们是专业的手机软件开发者,但这毕竟是我们的首款 iPhone app,而且许多用户比我们更有资格评价一款 iPhone app 的好坏。因此,我们决定让潜在用户来评判 Voodo 是否足够优秀去同 App Store 中的那么多 nb 软件竞争,是否足够诱人以至于你愿意花几美刀来使用它。

所以,我们在此真诚招募 beta 测试者。所有的 beta 测试者都有机会获取 Voodo 的 Promo Code3,只需要:

  • 第一个找到两个未在 demo 中展示过的 Editing View 中的任意一个,或者
  • 报告一个新 bug 并经确认,或者
  • 提出一个新特性需求并被接受,或者
  • 就是真心觉得 Voodo 是最棒的,乐意在 App Store 里给它打五颗星并给与振奋人心的评论。

如果你感兴趣的话,请

  1. 在 Twitter 上 follow 我
  2. 帮我们宣传一下。
  3. 准备好你 iPhone 或 iPod touch 的 UDID (需要 iPhone OS 3.0 及以上版本)。
  4. 一旦你成了 beta 测试者,请尽情把玩 Voodo,然后告诉我们你的想法,可以 Twitter,Email,或者在下面评论。

请注意,我们只能提供 50 个 beta 测试者名额,先到先得。所以,请赶快行动吧。如名额用尽,我们会及时通告。一旦登记你入“测”,我们会与你确认,并索取你设备的 UDID。十分感谢大家的热情响应,现在人员已满,无法接收新的报名,抱歉。请关注后续开发,等待下次机会。再试感谢大家的支持。

我们将在整理好所有 beta 测试者的 UDID 后编译 beta 版 Voodo,并提供下载链接。

真心感谢你们的关注以及为我们做的宣传。很快就是圣诞+元旦了,希望 Voodo 帮助你们更有效的欢度假日。

  1. Apple says promotional codes are currently only redeemable in the United States App Store. So you need a US iTunes Store Account. []
  2. If you prefer personal manner, want to know stories earlier, or you are also a developer, or just want to know me. []
  3. Apple 说 promotional codes 目前只能在美国 App Store 中使用。所以你需要一个美国 iTunes Store 帐户。 []
