We are really pleased to announce today our first release of Movie Vault on the Android Market. After months of development, we are proud to have an Android specific version of our application that takes advantage of many Android specific features as well as being (we think) mighty handsome.
Movie Vault for Android includes all the great features of its iOS counterparts:
- Over 1,000 classic films featuring tons of great actors.
- Fully search-able meta data direct from IMDB. You can also tap the IMDB logo to jump right over to the full detail page.
- Movie reviews listed for all titles when available.
- Updated from the server side, so you get new content as its available.
- One-time purchase and then use it as much as you like. No recurring fees.
Movie Vault for Android is $1.99 and available in the Android Market and coming soon to the Amazon Appstore.

Movie Vault 1.2 for iPad went live today in the App Store and we are really pleased to make available some a great new feature, My Queue. A ton of users have been asking for it and after some work, we now have added it. It is super simple to use as well, simply select a movie and then under the Watch Movie button you will find a button labeled Add to Queue. Click it and it will be added to your queue which is then accessible via the My Queue button in the top left.
With that said, here are the release notes:
- Updated user interface graphics, much better quality we think.
- My Queue feature added due to popular demand.
- Lots of stability improvements to handle memory issues.
- Added Flurry Analytics for data reporting.
We have to say that Apple turned this review around faster than ever before and we are really happy with how responsive they have been. We are looking forward to 4.3 and adding AirPlay so when it comes out make sure you download so we can get to work on the next release!

The better question is probably what’s next for Fling Soft, but I wanted to give everyone a quick glance at what we have in store in the coming months. As some may know, we recently launched our Roku app and this is really just the start of our expansion onto other platforms. Here is the tentative roadmap and what we are working towards due to user feedback:
- Mac OS X
- Android 2.2+
- Windows Phone 7
- Blackberry Mobile
- Blackberry Playbook
On top of this, we are also working on updates to Movie Vault for iPhone and iPad. We are focusing on stability and the addition of Airplay support as well as expanding our content library. We think we will be close to updates in the next 30-45 days depending on Apple’s OS release schedule.
Also, we have something big in the works that we are keeping under wraps until we get things finalized. Stay tuned!!!

Much to our surprise and excitement, the Thursday cut over in the iTunes app store showcased a new category named “Apps for Movie Lovers” and inside was Movie Vault. The iPhone and iPad versions were both named “App Store Essentials” and the response has been great.
In honor of being selected, we are discounting both apps for a limited time. The iPhone version is now $1.99 (down from $2.99) and the iPad version is $2.99 (down from $4.99). Please show your support and pick them up now!!

After a lot of hard work and some significant re-engineering, we are happy to announce Movie Vault for iPhone. Featuring all the great benefits of the iPad version, but we now also have access to the multitasking feature of the OS. This means you can take a call, read some email, check your texts, and then come back and pick up right where you left off. We kept the same visuals, kept the same simple to use interface, and just made things a little more iPhone friendly.
We are now live in the iTunes App Store and the price is $2.99! The iPad provides a bit of a premium experience, so we decided to bring the price down a bit. Apple has already given us some love by naming us to New & Noteworthy in the iPhone->Entertainment section, so thanks to the editorial team.
We will now get back to updating content, improving on our backend, and keeping things running smoothly. We are also thinking about a holiday version so look for that coming soon!

Tonight we submit Movie Vault 1.1 to the app store. We have gathered all the feedback from users and reviewers and tried to capture as much as possible with this release. Our first and foremost priority was stability. The following will be the release notes for 1.1:
Bug fixes:
- Major improvements to application stability during usage and movie watching.
- Eliminated an issue where you can lose the movie detail window forcing a relaunch.
- Fixes to the player screen to move up the scrubber and remove the textured back ground during playback.
- Improved back-end and increased bandwidth for faster updates and installation.
- Updated movie covers and details (thanks for the e-mails!). AVAILABLE NOW!!!
Features:
- NEW Genre backgrounds for a number of categories have been updated. AVAILABLE NOW!!!
- iPad to VGA out support as well as component out support. This is our first pass at this, so we will keep refining it.
- Improved the location of search by moving it to the title bar. This was a big one for a lot of people.
Those marked with AVAILABLE NOW are actually items you can refresh via the icon in the top right of the interface. These do not require an application update in order to experience.
With this release, we are also using our new CDN in order to speed up movie watching, updates, loading, etc. As more users get on board the faster the more complete the cache will be. This is just a first step in improving performance! We continue to work with Apple and other partners on adding more bandwidth.
Thanks to the community for staying committed to us and to all the great reviewers who have been so kind in their feedback.

When the iPad was first announced, it quickly became clear to most people that this device was going to be more about consumption than it was about creation. Sure people have done some amazing things with apps like Brushes and of course the entire iWork suite is available, but everything feels very scaled down. It just wasn’t there to be a creation device, but it was the perfect platform to consumer content. Comics, news, social, and especially TV and Movies.
The device was perfect for consuming media. No one ever loved watching movies on their iPhones, they simply tolerated it. Now we have a device and a big beautiful screen to play with and media never felt better. The one problem we have though is that content is lacking. Even if you subscribe to Netflix, the library is finite. The Apple Store is a little overpriced for most to purchase from, so we found a hole in the app marketplace and tried to fill it.
And so, we are proud to present Movie Vault for iPad. Its all about FREE movie content for you, no strings attached.
All about Movie Vault
Movie Vault is an all new iPad app with the single purpose to provide access to a catalog of over 1200 movies and television shows from the last 100 years. We have fully catalogued these movies including fully-searchable information on directors, actors, writers, and more. We also hunted down the cover art for a truly awesome experience.
Using it is simple, when you first download the movie listing is downloaded from our server. In doing this, we can provide up-to-date movie listings without the need to update our application constantly which means less work for you. You can then swipe left or right between Genres, select from the Genre menu in the top left or search by keyword which is included in the Genre menu. When you find a movie just tap it once to get more info and then tap “Watch Movie” to start it up. Give it a couple seconds to let it start and site back and enjoy. Its that simple.
The best part is, everything is streamed so you can enjoy it over Wifi OR over 3G. With Apple’s streaming technology you get a great experience and our servers take care of the heavy lifting.
What are some of our favorites movies?
I have always been a Horror guy and especially love films like George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. There are also great Sci-Fi film and if you really aren’t sure then do a search on Lugosi, Price, or Karloff.
If you are feeling a little more upbeat try some great Comedies or maybe even a Musical or too. And do not miss out on some of the great Crime, Mystery, or War films. There are a ton to choose from. I would say most of all to not let the age fool you, some of the movies in here are unbelievable and are you really going to argue with directors like Alfred Hitchcock, among others.
We really hope you enjoy it. Building this library and prepping this data for streaming has been a true labor of live. We look forward to hearing feedback and can’t wait for the next version. Get it now for $4.99!!
