They seem to have solved most of the problems I initially had with it. Now, it's actually a pretty cool digital story tool. Cool for travel blogging too!<br /><br />You can login and delete stories now as well. Here's a test one I did after the update: http://www.blurb.com/mobile/show/0d33a5f7skiphunthttp://kaleidoscopeofcolor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713231943515505191.post-66279902266339328802011-05-14T08:42:52.676-07:002011-05-14T08:42:52.676-07:00The problem with ads is on the site.

On top of that I find their products grossly over-priced. I know I don't have to buy their products if I'm not satisfied with their quality/pricing, but if I buy their app & produce my own content to share, I don't want to also be skiphunthttp://kaleidoscopeofcolor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713231943515505191.post-44016340848358101342011-05-14T08:19:17.511-07:002011-05-14T08:19:17.511-07:00Hi Skiphunt,

I actually...Hi Skiphunt, <br /><br />I like your enthusiasm.<br /><br />I actually got the updated V1.02 via the app store upgrade. It appears to fix all (or, 95%) of the issues you mention. You might want to try it out. This week they turned on the ability to delete a story from the web site. So, you can delete a story from the phone or the web. That problem is fixed.

I have to say it is impressive. Just being able to sequence my videos and photos into a story on my iPhone is fun (and a bit addictive). When you throw in annotating photos with text and audio, I can start to see where the app can become a constant way to share what I am doing. Blurb needs to turn the jets on social sharing, if they do that....ILBeamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713231943515505191.post-5914766252942379022011-05-02T09:51:57.695-07:002011-05-02T09:51:57.695-07:00@Eric Pramono
