I’m so excited to be a part of the beta test/evaluator team for Martin Bowling‘s latest iPhone app iDailyBooth (app store link). The 1.0 release was pushed out to fill a demand and even Martin says he feels it went out a little too early. Well let me tell you that 1.1 had improvements but 1.2 has even more.

The biggest improvement that I love is speed. There’s been some great tweaks to the user interface that were well thought out. For example when submitting a new photo the buttons have been reordered and the speed to get to the camera is almost instantaneous unlike in 1.0 when it took 15+ seconds.

There’s also the addition of the users photo stream. Now you need to understand some of the background on what’s happening. There’s currently no API to allow quick easy queries so iDailyBooth has been completely developed using available web POST queries. The photos are pulled through a little known RSS feed, so it can take some time to load.

Overall the experience of 1.2 is exponentially greater than previous versions. I’ve also been informed the team at DailyBooth.com is also working on an API and told Martin to start working on iDailyBooth 2.0. I’d suggest you get your feature requests in now. Easiest way is to leave them in the comments below and I’ll be sure to pass them on to Martin.

I heard from my buddy Martin Bowling today that iDailyBooth was finally approved and available in the Apple App Store. I checked it out and it is available. Hurray! At some point I’ll do up a full review on the app as I was involved in testing and am happy to be involved a little more in the project then I think either of us initially gave consideration to. Raise a glass to toast the success of iDailyBooth and go get it now!

Edit: Just a quick FYI that version 1.1 is apparently in the Apple Store pending approval. There’s a number of improvements that have been made to it. Also follow iDailyBooth on Twitter for more updates and a chance to win a FREE copy of iDailyBooth.
