We are very pleased to announce that we have unveiled phase one of our project to make our system fully compatible on Apple’s iOS platform which includes the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch family of devices. Phase One marks the first time that our live video chat rooms are available on these wildly popular devices!
As of this release we currently support the open room interface (with tipping) as well as Group and Party chat experiences. All other forms of live shows (private, multi-user, etc.) are not yet available, but we expect to introduce support for them in early January 2013.
Not all rooms will be compatible with the iOS devices; when browsing the site you will notice a small mobile icon at the top left of the sample image (like on the homepage) if you are using a recognized device. Only rooms where the performer is broadcasting using our newest software will be available due to the encoding requirements mandate by Apple’s platform.
We expect that performer adoption will grow considerably over the coming months giving you the choice of enjoying a chat on your desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile phone device!
In the coming weeks we will also roll out support for Google Android operating system and the tablets and phones on which it runs. Since some of you are already using Flash on Android to access our site any changes we make for the Android platform will be optional so you can try them out in advance.
Lastly, support for the iOS platform is best on the iPad and iPad Mini devices. The iPhone and iPod Touch devices work, but the experience is far from optimal right now (we have plans to improve the user-interface on these smaller screens).
We hope you enjoy the new ways you access our site and communicate with your favorite performers. If you experience any technical issues please let us know so we can investigate as the entire interface was rebuilt from the ground up to support these new devices. Quote
