Wistia sounds very interesting. What's the point of knowing how audience is watching? What are the metrics you want to measure?

Hey @89a, can you detail which is the joke? Maybe what we did is stupid. But that's what we genuinely thought, tried and shared. We are serious to develop a good enough Instagram ipad app as we're not satisfied with existing solutions. And

looking at competitors or parent product (in my case "Instagram") is definitely effective. However, i have to take the copycat name... Designer is very expensive for sure. Which country are your designers from? Mine is india, so relatively

If going into interaction details, i would prefer to work face to face as communication would become a problem. And in-house designer would be more than $500, i guess...

Thanks @digitalengineer for this meaningful discussion. Yes we absolutely should build up our own design team. Blindly keep trying woundn't work either. It's still the art of balancing. Trying various ways in the beginning, and at some time

hi @JohnCastle, for the top Instagram apps, the names are: - InstaPad - InstaBrowser - InstaMap And web services: - Webstagram I think the problem is in nature in what we're doing. It's an Instagram app, how can user recognize you witho

If you look at all Instagram apps in the store, you'll find there are many Instagram apps designed with a 'camera' icon. We're definitely not the first one. Do you know 'Pinstagram'? They just changed the name to "Pictacular", and it's base

I did both. I think people are more interested in #2 (because it's outsourced and the icon itself is a 'camera'), but #1 is definitely one of the reasons

Hi @reidrac, i guess you're right. Anyway it's an Instagram iPad app, the simplest way to make user accept an app is make him/her understand what the app does at first glance. The new icon better conveys the info

thanks for the comments, @francov88, i will keep up the work and keep sharing. Up to now, I think Padgram still has potential to grow. Among all the Instagram iPad app, Padgram has relatively good design and distinguishing features. I will

I would still suggest trying. If you're not satisfied with what's offered, you can reject it, it does no harm. And Elancer has many options to try. But if without trying, devs will never be able to make an satisfying icon (at least for me).

i dont think Apple would consider this, :-(, that's why i wrote and shared it, as Apple is unlikely to figure out for us...

Hi @raverbashing, i read "Wooden texture is a fashionable design in 2012" somewhere, but i forgot where it was... what's the full name of "skeuomorphism"? so that i can check it in App Store..

as a young startup, it's important to balance between attractiveness and expense, Dribbble is too expensive for me...

Thanks @digitalengineer for your comments, yes it's relatively cheep from all the offering's. Actually this is my first try, and the result absolutely exceeds my expectation. i guess it's because the designer is from India, so the cost is k
