Full service to be at full speed very soon

March 2nd, 2010
    Hello,

    Thank you for using Knocking Live. We appreciate your support!

    We would like to update you that we have recently upgraded our server capacity to keep up with the demand, and to get ready for our Android Knocking release. This has caused intermittent outages for which we apologize. We are working hard to make Knocking bigger and better. We expect service to be at full speed very soon.

    Stay tuned for Android KnockingLive!

    Happy Knocking! :-)

A truly inspiring story!

February 25th, 2010
    We would like to share a truly inspirational story about our friend Matt Klusza. Like most of us Matt also owns an iPhone, but he has a hearing disability.

    Matt recently came across the KnockingLive Video app on iTunes. After giving the app a shot, he loved it and wanted to share this with the hearing impaired community. So here is a short video of him saying hello!

    Over the next weeks we will continue to make many more enhancements to the application to make it more user friendly for this community. We are currently working on releasing KnockingLive for Android  and with this user will be able to share videos cross platforms, live and instantly.
    We are glad to be part of this communication revolution! :)

Email invitations functionality temporarily disabled

December 30th, 2009
    We have released KnockingLive Video 1.1, an update to our software which has increased performance. The feedback has been extremely positive as people are sharing live video around the world iPhone to iPhone.

    The email invitation issue has been reported regarding “iPhone Contacts” feature. This feature is not allowing users the option to invite individuals or invite their entire contact list. Many users requested the option to send to all contacts with one tap. Other users requested the option to select one at a time from their contacts list. Our intentions is to provide both options. The issue is that when tapping on iPhone contacts the second screen is not appearing.

    This was not our intention and the function will be fixed. For now the all invite functionality will be temporarily disabled as we resolve this issue.

    Please note we are very sensitive to your privacy.

    We are working 24/7 to make knocking the best mobile to mobile sharing experience. Thank you for your feedback and support.

KnockingLive Video launches. Joins KnockingLive Pic sharing

December 3rd, 2009

    Working on better connections for you all. It has been an exciting first two days for the team at Knocking Live Video. We could never have anticipated the unprecedented response to the first live video broadcast app. Anyone with a 3G or 3Gs iPhone can now share live video direct from phone to phone, with no uploads or time limits. It’s hard to imagine that this app almost didn’t make it to the iPhone. But thanks to our partner Brian, and to Steve Jobs, the world is beginning to knock.

    Knocking video almost never happened. The app had been rejected by Apple’s review process! After Brian submitted our app to iTunes, we were “crushed” when we received the rejection email from Apple . It was cryptic and impersonal. And there was no one to talk to, no one to clarify what we had to do to get it approved. But Brian didn’t give up. Finally after a month of wondering why our app didn’t make it through the approval process, Brian decided to write Steve Jobs a very personal email. He told Steve about the testing crew and our families’ love of knocking and how it had changed the way we were communicating. The email was sent out 11 days ago. Two days after the email was sent to Jobs, Brian got a call from someone in Apple’s upper management. One day later, the app was approved. We went wild. So Steve and Apple do care about the process and we are proof. Now Apple iTunes is host to a worldwide phenomenon.

    We want to thank all who have downloaded Knocking Live Video as well as Knocking Live Pic Sharing. We appreciate your support and your patience as we work to improve the knocking experience. The overwhelming response of people sharing video over the past two days has caused some problems which we are working hard to solve. We expect to be able to provide a great experience very shortly, so if you can’t connect right away try again after awhile. We are working 24/7 to provide the best, most unique sharing experience ever. Knocking. Stay tuned for some exciting updates with even more capability.

Knocking™ all the way ;) – we are LIVE

November 10th, 2009

“…photo-sharing app on steroids.” – TechCrunch

Gen Y has also instantly taken to Knocking™Live Pic, selecting the App as the top most ‘craziest’ innovative technology of this week on College Candy.

Across the Atlantic, in India, FoneArena has given great feedback to share with its readers.

Knocking™Live Pic is the first ever ‘live pic sharing’ application created for the iPhone Simply download the app from iPhone App Store and connect with friends – they need to have the app too – ‘knock’ on their phone and watch as they connect to your iPhone – flipping through your pictures and saving them to their iPhone… live, instantly.

The first 50K downloads of the App are absolutely free – download it here

Using Knocking™Live Pic you can share inspiring moments with friends and family anytime, anywhere; share pics with colleagues and associates as you discuss a matter out.

At this point we are letting you share up to 100 pictures at a time, more than any other App so you can go on ‘knocking’.

Even as you enjoy Knocking™Live Pic, we are waiting for approvals on our live video sharing application and should be with you… soon; also in the works is one-to-many option for both Live Pic and Live Video which we should be able to launch by 1st week Jan.

The fun’s just begun and we will keep you updated about things as they unfold.

We’d love to hear back from you about what more you’d like Knocking to do.

Cheers.
