Apollo Design Announces iGobo App for iPhone/iPad/iPod

I spent a bit of time talking to one of my favorite people from Apollo at LDI, Melissa Irk. Melissa mentioned to me that Apollo Design just released it’s iGobo App for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Now you can browse all of Apollo’s stock gobo’s in one place, well, actually two places, the iGobo App and the Moire Gobo App from Wybron. The difference being that the iGobo App is a FREE download.

Here is a bit more about the iGobo App:

Apollo’s iGobo allows everyone involved in the art of lighting design to conveniently view full screen images of the company’s extensive library of standard metal and glass patterns. The Apollo iGobo feature list includes:

• 2000+ metal, SuperResolution glass,1-color glass, 2-color glass, and ColourScenic gobo designs
• Search the gobo library by name, number, or keywords
• Compare up to four gobos at a time on the screen
• Rotate an image at variable speeds, either clockwise or counterclockwise
• Stack two images and rotate the bottom image in either direction
• Maintain a favorites list
• Email a single gobo or your complete favorites list
• More features to come on future versions

Fire up your iTunes App store and download your free copy of iGobo from Apollo Design. Be sure to connect to a WiFi access point when trying to “purchase” and download the iGobo App.  At 105mb, AT&T will not let you download it over their data network.

Apollo Design Announces iGOBO for BlackBerry

Blackberry users rejoice, I not talking about the iPhone today but the Blackberry.  I actually love the Blackberry and use to own one, (until the iPhone came out) and though it was the best thing in the world.  Email, “internet”, phone calls, oh my! Just like my favorite device of choice these days, the Blackberry has the ability to download and install apps on to the device.

Apollo Design just yesterday announced the arrival of the iGOBO app for the Blackberry. The app is available for all versions of the Blackberry device, across all carriers and all countries are supported. From the screen shots provided on the BlackBerry App world, iGOBO does exactly what I would expect it to.  It gives you the ability to search and find Apollo gobos either by keyword or by Apollo names and part numbers. The best part is the the iGOBO app is a FREE download!

Since I am not a BlackBerry users, I would love to hear what you think of the app.  Send me some photos of the app running and your thoughts.  I’m sure I’m not the only iPhone user curious to know how it works.

UPDATE: I heard from Apollo Design.  It looks like the iGOBO app for the BlackBerry only works for CrackBerry’s with a physical keyboard and not the touch kind like the BlackBerry Storm. There are no immediate plans to update the iGOBO app for touch devices at the moment from Apollo Design.  Although, if there is enough interest, Apollo may plan to offer and update.  Voice your opinion to Apollo by contacting them directly.
