Our iPhone app has triggered a lot of feedback, downloads and ratings. We even made it to the Top 15 in the Swiss App Store! Most of your comments and reviews were very positive and a lot of questions were asked. In this posting, I'd like to address some of them:When is the Android app coming?
Very soon. We're planning on releasing it April/May.
When is the iPad app coming?
We will start working on the iPad app after having released Android.
As a workaround you can use the iPhone app on the iPad.
When will you support Windows Mobile 7 or Blackberry?
Our priority is an Android and iPad app.
I can't seem to be able to log in to the iPhone app, what should I do?
This is most likely due to the fact that you have signed up a long time ago and have not changed your password ever since. Please change your password (and do NOT forget it). You will then be able to log in to your account on the iPhone. If you do not want to change the password, we're working on a fix for the next update.
Can I access files in my groups?
No, not yet. We are working on it. This requires additional work as the app encrypts the files directly on your phone.
Can I upload files?
No, not yet. We are working on it. This requires additional work as the app encrypts the files directly on the phone.
Can I access my friend's files?
No, not yet. We are working on it. This requires additional work as the app encrypts the files directly on your phone.
Can I share files?
Yes, you can. You can send a file directly by email. Click on the file and choose the 'paperclip'.
Where's the manual located?
Go to About > Help.
I do not want to log in each time. Can I save the password?
Yes. Go to your settings on your iPhone and choose Wuala. Enable 'Sign-in automatically'.
Why can't the Wuala app play certain file formats (AVI, WMA, etc.) directly?
Per default the iPhone only supports the following formats:
To finish off, I'd like to add a funny detail: After having answered too many questions related to 'When will you release an Android app?', I accidentally called our mobile developer 'Android' instead of Andrei. Oops.

Why can't the Wuala app play certain file formats (AVI, WMA, etc.) directly?
Per default the iPhone only supports the following formats:
Audio formats: AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAVAny other format requires a conversion of the original file. Wuala cannot do this on the server side, because all user files are encrypted on the client. On the iPhone, certain 3rd party applications can be used to playback files in other formats than the ones supported officially.
Video formats: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

You know, in Russian language Andrei & Android are similar words, especially for application developers ;))
ReplyDeleteI was one of these "Andrei" asking ;)
ReplyDeleteWhen ist the Bada-App coming?
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteWe have not planned a Bada-App.
Best,
Oona
I'm really looking forward to the Android app. I just found out about Wuala and it sounds awesome. I love the idea of "trading" my disk space at home for cloud storage.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bada user. Currently I use pipeline applicatio to sync my Dropbox folder with my bada phone. Hope someday, someone will develop Wuala app for Bada users.
