Pocketpedia and the Taller iPhone 5
With the launch of iPhone 5 today we wanted to let you know that the upcoming version of Pocketpedia will support the extra 176 pixels. For data driven apps like Pocketpedia the extra height is a great addition since more of your collections, items, results and details will be visible. Specifically, this means you get…

New OFDB plug-in for DVDpedia
After struggling with their servers and mirrors for years, we finally found one that’s slightly better than the others so Conor has put together a search plug-in for the ofdb.de site. It’s still very much a beta plug-in because the server times out at times and sometimes refuses searches without explanation. But hopefully it’ll still…

Version 5.1.2 in the App Store (except DVDpedia)

Night Sky and Dictionary We Are Coming for You
In the same fashion as the Pedias on the Mac App Store, Pocketpedia has risen to meteoric heights on the App Store. When it comes to cataloging items, nothing is more important than keeping those constellations in order, but right after that is knowing the definition of a word and info about your books, albums,…

Doghouse Stats
Alex again here with some Doghouse stats. The Doghouse, our new data repository for the Pedia programs, is growing nicely: We are nearing the 100,000 mark for DVDs in our database. This is a great milestone. We have more than 140,000 books already, awesome. 61,000 CDs, guess people don’t use those too much anymore. But…
