Hi guys,
do you have any aspirations of making an app for iPhone as well? I´ve met so many travellers with an iPhone, I would be surprised if such an app would not catch on…
Greets,
Tom
Unfortunately my cell-phone is Samsung…Could you guys develop map application for Samsung?…Anyway you do a very good job!
Is there any way to rotate photos once they’ve been sent to MapVivo from my Nokia?
@Tom: The iPhone app is in development. We’ll post updates on its readiness here on the blog. Android app is also in the pipeline.
@paremuya: if your Samsung is a Symbian phone, then you should have no problems with running MapVivo on it.
@Evan: I’m affraid it’s not yet possible, you can only rearrange the photos’ order, but not edit them directly. Thank you for the idea, we’ll discuss the possibility of introducing such a feature with the dev team.
