Among the many purchases I’ve made for my iphone is
papaya broadcaster
This app cost me $4.99CAD, in the US for some reason it’s $6.99USD. I didn’t make the pricing structure, so I have no freakin’ clue why the $2 difference.
On an accessibility scale, all controls are accessible, and read well.
It takes some fiddling to get things configured properly, but if your compitent enough, you’ll do fine.
One note I do need to make, if configuring for an icecast/icecast2 server, you *must* specify a username.
This username is source.
Don’t ask me why, it’s just what you have to do.
I never said it made sense.
As for it’s price tag?
In my opinion, if your going to charge $4.99CAD/$6.99USD for a product, make it worth the money.
In other words, it’s great that you support multiple mountpoints, multiple server types, but where’s archiving?
If your broadcasting mobally, you should, in my opinion have the ability to archive your own broadcasts directly on the iphone, and hey, intigration with dropbox? Not that hard, it’s done in a lot of free apps, so why nott make the ability to upload your archives if that ability was their, to dropbox?
Once the upload to dropbox is complete, you give the option to delete it from the phone, leaving the copy in dropbox.
This, in my opinion, would make the app more worth the price.
I don’t regret buying this app, I’m just making observations on what could make the app even better.
Speaking of things, if you get a phone call/lose internet connection? You have to manually reconnect, serious pain in the behind.
While on the topic of annoyances, if you have a headset plugged in when you tap broadcast? It switches everything to the iphones speaker/microphone and you have to unplug and replug in the headset.
Rather annoying and something they need to fix.
I hope this review helps some.
