KISS and their blindingly obviously clever iPhone app
Posted on Monday, December 7th, 2009 at 3:58am. #
KISS, the group of Bauer stations in the UK, have launched an iPhone app. With a killer function.
“Play in the background”.
It’s (shhh) really easy to do from a technical standpoint; but it’s interesting that nobody has yet thought about firing off the inbuilt (and backgroundable) media player direct from an iPhone app.
KISS is also producing visuals (I hope that’s the 320×240 ‘standard’), and some quite nice innovative social media functions too.
You can download it by searching for KISS KUBE on iTunes; and it’s available now. Congratulations should go to Bruce and the team – KISS is doing some clever stuff these days.
(Later:) The iPhone app was made by Synchromation, working with the team at KISS.
Disclaimer: I saw this before it was publicly available; and ‘no volume available’ in the app screenshots, above, is probably because I took these in the US, where the stream isn’t available.

Cool! I’ve been wondering for a while since stations that plug their twitter communications on-air, don’t include a twitter function to their apps so you could interact – looks like they’ve done that here?
