Collage 2.0
Collage 2.0 was released just a few minutes ago. It’s a total re-imagining of the app. The author tag still says I wrote it, but honestly I have very little (if any) code in this release. More details about what’s going on with me and some of my apps will probably be forthcoming in the near future… for now - enjoy.

Yea, I really enjoyed the new version, it increased its functionality for me 10 fold. Really cool whoever did it!

Very nice indeed. I’m impressed. Best of luck to you — I hope you can make a little money with it!

The new version is really good. A lot less like 4chan now.
can we view it online?

only problem is my pictures don’t seem to appear anymore? I’ve not posted anything dodgy ever unless people object to smurfs and clocks?

I’m gutted I can’t post pics any more - any ideas anyone? If you review my pics you’ll see their is nothing wrong with them. I’m guessing I’m blocked for some reason but it could be something else. I deinstalled and reinstalled, the process of taking the pictures looks ok, I’ll click keep and that seems to be ok - just the images never appear.

maybe I’ve not been blocked but it just taking much much longer (hours) before images appear because of increased number of publishers? If this is the case its a real shame as part of the fun was the instant nature of it, ie take a picture of a clock and suddenly loads of people around the world do the same thing. Now you take a picture and nothing happens and if it does chances are you are not even looking anymore because its so much later

@Chris: Hmmm… it’s supposed to be much faster than that. Perhaps something is wrong in the algorithm… looking into it…

Thanks - got the latest version and still none of mine are appearing (at least for 15-20 mins, i give up waiting after that), yet lots of other images are repeating frequently
when I add an image, the image replaces the ‘add’ button for a few seconds then disappears, I assume this is while it uploading?

I’ve now tested this on a friends iPhone and the symptoms are the same. Lots of duplicate images appearing for others and new uploaded pictures not showing (within a 20 min period at least)

one more bit og info that may or may not help - just happened to check on one of my pictures from about 3-4 days ago (maybe longer) just appeared!

@Chris: Whoa.. 3-4 days?? So not supposed to happen that way…
Collage has kind of turned into a group project lately with someone else taking over the server-side. I think the problem is on the server as it is not pulling images from recently uploaded ones but instead may be pulling from *all* images randomly or something like that. That’s clearly the wrong behavior for Collage and needs to get fixed asap.

great stuff - the thing that appealled to me so much about this app (I’m normally a serious software type of guy) was the instant interaction of the system. Something was just plain addictive about it….you take a picture of a clock suddenly people from all round the world are taking pics of thier clocks, take a pic of your dog and instantly see dozens of dog photos filling the screen - hard to put your finger on but it leapt right up my list of most used apps.

Still doing the same. I timed it and it takes on aver 20-30mins for pictures to appear. In that time you quite frequently see mutiple copies of other photos appearing at the same time (same image occupying 2-4 squares) and also images from 24hrs plus ago.
I’ve only got 3 days left to leave comments according to the note below - where do I do it after that?

Is there any way to save the pictures that are in the collage? I have seen some pretty cool ones and would love to be able to keep them around!
