My new adventure: DoApp
Posted: April 1st, 2009 by jan Hi! I’m Jan Joseph Jeffries, my friends call me “Joey.” Today is my first day at DoApp and I’ll be honest, it’s been a long road! Recognize my name? If not, maybe this mini-bio will jog your memory…
Dude, where’s my app?
Posted: January 8th, 2009 by Joe Sriver We reduced the price of our Punch-O-Meter app for a few days around the New Year. It was free from December 31-January 4 (originally $0.99). Early Monday, January 5, we changed to the price back to $0.99. Two hours later, Punch-O-Meter was taken out of the store!
React: FREE for a limited time!
Posted: December 22nd, 2008 by Joe Sriver I have great news! We’ve lowered the price of our React iPhone/iPod Touch game to FREE for a limited time. We’ve gotten a lot of great reviews from popular iPhone blogs (see below) as well as React players. In honor of the season, we thought it’d be appropriate to share the fun and excitement of React with all iPhone/iPod Touch owners.
DoApp Holiday Thoughts

Why Is the Media So Negative?
Posted: September 22nd, 2008 by Graeme Thickins Let’s face it, it’s in their genes. And the latest traditional media story that includes us is a testament to that. Our part of the story is positive, but the overall focus is on developers who are having apps rejected. Here it is, on the front of the business section of yesterday’s (Sunday’s) St. Paul Pioneer Press: Local software developers struggle to meet Apple’s iPhone standards. (The photo with the story shows Ian, myself, and Pete — we look pretty happy, don’t we? Aren’t our little shoes cute?)
The Mystery of Our ‘Whoopie Cushion’ App Is Solved - Sort Of
Posted: August 28th, 2008 by Graeme Thickins After more than six weeks waiting for Apple to respond to the submission of our Whoopie Cushion app, we finally got a response from them recently. (We submitted this app just before the opening of the iTunes App Store, which was July 10th, along with some of our other early apps.)
Apple Announces 60M Downloads from App Store to Date
Posted: August 11th, 2008 by Graeme Thickins Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs reported today in a Wall Street Journal article that, in the first month since the iTunes App Store opened, consumers have downloaded more than 60 million apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch. “Ive never seen anything like this in my career for software,” he said. Apple sold about $1 million per day of paid apps over the month.
Thumpin’ Thursdays: The Facebook Adventure Continues
Posted: July 31st, 2008 by Pete Carr Well, Mark Zuckerberg is in the process of doing it again….changing the entire way Facebook works. Recently, his firm released “the new look” of Facebook, which you must opt-in to get. However, we can only wonder when they will switch their entire platform over to this look. My initial reaction to the change was, “Why?” Facebook has a great thing going — it’s clean (until we as users decide to add a thousand apps to our pages!), it works great, and it gets innovative updates all the time. Why now must it change and try to be an online operating system? Read More »
Feeding the iPhone Habit: Minnov8 Finds DoApp
Posted: July 21st, 2008 by Graeme Thickins Our friends at the great local blog Minnov8, which is all about Minnesota innovation in Internet technology, wrote a nice piece on DoApp earlier today, called Minnesota Keeps Feeding the iPhone Habit.

Every new year brings reflection to the previous year and of course predictions for the upcoming 365 days. Who will win the Superbowl? When will Tiger Woods play golf again? When will Jennifer and Brad get back together? What will be the next fashion craze, etc.
So as Jingle Bells plays in the background I am dreaming of a new DoApp Application.
Hey, we’re not struggling, but the other companies and developers cited in the story, who don’t yet have apps in the App Store, are — or so the story angle and headline seems to be saying. Sure, one of our apps, the Whoopie Cushion, was not accepted in our initial batch submitted — but we had five accepted so far, including three in the first week or so of the App Store’s life. So, we’re hardly hung up on the one that wasn’t accepted. (And many people are coming out in support of that one, both in countless emails to us, and in comments to 
Unfortunately, the app was turned down, citing community standards in certain countries. However, we are continuing to work with Apple to see if there is any way to get it into the store. Thanks to all those who’ve emailed us asking for the app, or how you could get it! We will hopefully have some more news for you soon on this app.
At the current pace, the company “could stand to reap at least $360 million a year in new revenue from the App Store,” that article said. “This thing’s going to crest at half a billion, soon,” said Jobs. More details in the article, linked above.
