Sound Ninja
There was a post that disappeared. I'm assuming that it was because it was developer announcing a product which is a no-no. Though it's kind of a soft one since there are actually a fair number of self promoting posts. But this was pretty blatant.

Anyway I think it's something that a few folks would be interested in and since I have no connection at all to the developer I can post about it and be kosher.

It's not for everyone. I personally would rather write notes on a paper sound report but there are plenty of folks that would be really into it.

The link is here.

It's a sound report app for smart phones. The link is to the iPhone version but there is apparently (or will soon be) an Android version.

It looks handy, especially if your into using your phone for things. The upside is you will have it around, so it might be handy to have even if you only kept it for emergency use. Forgot to pack sound reports, your pen blew up etc. Another plus is that you can send it to people from the phone so you don't have to make a copy before you hand it off and there will be a backup. It also looks easy to use in practice.

The down side to all apps like this is that it's not easy to jot down random notes and your working with a phone sized interface. Since it should work on an iPad also or the Kindle Fire that may be a better place to have it.

Probably someone who worked differently than I should do a review also since I'm either recording FX (voice slate) run and gun so no sound report, or using BoomRecorder, which generates it's own sound reports.

I can say from using BoomRecorder that it is nice to be able to write a detailed not while a scene is happening sometimes so...

Anyway it would be great, for my post work, if the new wave DSLR folks embraced it because they as a rule don't do any reports and tend to be dodgy with slating so any kind of documentation would be a huge boon to post.

I do think it's probably a little pricey for what it does. You can get slating apps that cost less. They are not as optimized for sound but?

I know we have some iPhone app junkies here so one of you go grab this thing and report back.
 
Yeah, that was me. I didn't realize it was considered "spam". Another sound-dedicated board I'm a member of embraces new product information. You can PM me for a promo code. I'd love to get a real world review from an unbiased source here. Hopefully this message sticks around.
 
You can, I believe post in the market place section. As I understand it it's not about not embracing new products but not turning the board which is really a resource into a place that gets bombarded by "product announcements". So if a member of the board sees something that may be of use then it's part of the help function of the board. But if anyone can post self promotions then it becomes more of a billboard.

And you would probably been cut a little more slack if you had been an active member instead of having your first post be an ad for a product you were selling.

Personally I think there is this limbo land where there are products that people may be interested in that they would not know about if it's only posted i the marketplace. Especially true for software because you (me anyway) would not even look there if I didn't have a need. Something like your app is one where I wouldn't have a "need", but I might have a use.

You can also sponsor the site and then I think you can get a banner ad?
I really don't know the specifics and I'm not admin so all the above is my opinion not nec. those of the site - as they say.

I can say that if you have some experience, and it appears you do, your help in contributing to the discussions will be much appreciated.

Also I do believe that if you had posted about this product asking for testers and not customers that there is a good chance the post would have not been removed.

Again that may not be the case but certainly you would have been within the spirit of the rule so...

On the other hand getting snippy with the moderators is not a good direction to go. They are working hard to keep this a place where people can go for help with problems, get answers to questions, and at times some mentoring. It's a board that has a high percentage of folks starting out VS long time professionals and there is a lot of effort to keep the information quality high and the PR, marketing, personal junk portion small.

I did visit the Marketplace section and it was nothing but gear for sale. Didn't seem like a good fit. I have actually been a member here for a little bit, but not very active. I do hope to contribute a little bit. Thanks again.

Considering the post I responded to was listed as your post #1, your right that would not be very active.
User names change and counts get reset so...

Welcome aboard.


 
We do allow product developers to engage with our members so they can get input into the product during design. We dont allow unsolicited advertising.

6. No Profiteering
Please don’t try selling your products here unless you're an official site sponsor. It costs a lot of money to administer this site, those costs are defrayed by our sponsors, and it's not fair to paying sponsors to have people using the site they pay for used to promote other products. This means no commercial signatures and no advertising, unless you're an official DVXUser site sponsor. Uncleared advertisement signatures and posts will be removed. Those wanting to become site sponsors should contact Jason Ramsey at advertising@dvxuser.com

But we have no problem with a member saying Ive found / Ive been using / A friend told me about - this product etc etc
 
I've been a member since '08 and haven't posted, but have lurked around since then. Thanks for the warm welcome.
 
People are encouraged to post and become part of the community here. Lurking around for years, without posting, doesn't count as that. In all honesty, it makes it seem you weren't interested in interacting with the community until you had something to sell.

That said, welcome! :)

Actually, I'm kind of interested in your app - not so much because it is something I need, but I'm interested in the general idea of people being able to make a business of creating apps. That's very cool.

As for publicizing it here, it's all in the approach, as Noel mentioned.

Don't be discouraged. Play by the guidelines and keep us posted.

Sheesh.

So you have been a member for four years and your first post was a violation of the guidelines.

I kind of repost your announcement of your app, since I thought it might be useful to some users.
I actually think that is pretty welcoming.

If you don't think so I can delete the post.

All of the quoting of rules has come because you implied that the board was somehow hostile to new products because admin. removed your posts that violated the user guidelines.
