Tweeb Launches – Twitter Analytics on the iPhone

Mobomo — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 12:02:53 +0000

We’ve been very busy and are proud to announce our next app “Tweeb.” Tweeb is a Twitter-focused app for the iPhone. It helps people understand how they are doing on Twitter by giving them stats beyond followers. Check out the Tweeb website to learn more or just go take a look on the App Store.

Tweeb is an interesting app for us not just because we love what it does but because of how it came to be. This was an app that Ken created some time ago. He brought it to us because it had undergone several rejections in the App Store and had serious performance issues. We spent about four weeks completely rewriting the backend and adding a couple of significant new features. Of course, after this work, it flew threw the approval process and into the App Store.

It’s not our style to push forward with a launch until we’ve allowed our users to kick the tires for a bit. Aside from all the feedback Ken incorporated previously, we were able to get some great insights from the first round of App Store users and recently pushed a subsequent update. If you are really interested, go read the release notes for Tweeb v0.9.1.

Version 1.0 of Tweeb is currently in development and should be pushed to the App Store by the end of this week. The best way to get us feedback is through our help desk or via our support e-mail (support at this domain).

ExpenseBooks for FreshBooks – iPhone + Android

Ken — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 17:07:09 +0000

Today, Mobomo is happy to announce the launch of ExpenseBooks for FreshBooks on both the iPhone and Android platforms (search “ExpenseBooks” on the Android Market). ExpenseBooks is a simple way to log your FreshBooks expenses while on the go.

As a long-time FreshBooks user, I pitched this idea to Barg towards the end of 2009. While there have been a couple of FreshBooks iPhone apps, they weren’t really useful to me. A more natural way to use FreshBooks while not in front of a computer is to capture those things that you do while not in front of a computer. Namely, pay for meals while meeting with people, purchase office items, buy gas for the car, etc. Hence ExpenseBooks was born.

We finished the iPhone version first but decided that we wanted to also give Android a little love. So, we held off on doing the launch until the Android app was also already to go.

For more info, you can read the FreshBooks announcement on their blog, visit their iPhone or Android add-on pages, or just go download the apps. We’ve got some great ideas in store for ExpenseBooks but will be listening to the community closely. We’d love to hear from you, so be sure to submit support and feature requests at the Mobomo help desk.

For Android devices, search “ExpenseBooks” on the Android Market.
