Thanks for the update, and sorry that I haven't gotten 'round to featuring it on the blog yet. :guilty: I'll wait now until the iPhone version is (hopefully) available so that even more people will be able to take advantage of it. Great work!
 
Any news from Apple?

I have a couple of friends who develop iPhone Apps and I believe Apple can take ages to sort this stuff out sometimes.

Just an idea and of course it's nothing to do with me but would you and Jordan maybe be interested in it becoming an official GT Planet App with GT Planet branding? Like I said, just an idea.:)
 
No, Apple still says it's waiting for review. The waiting times used to be a couple of days but recently it's gone up to about 10 days. Probably due to the iPad launches. I just saw that La Gazzetta dell Sport has been released. Something tells me an Italian iPad launch is imminent :)

Your suggestion about branding might be useful just in case the application name must be changed since "Gran Turismo" might be a bit trademarked. Shouldn't be a problem, though as long as the brand is respected (although you never know with Apple)
 
WOW I'm sure glad I found this thread! Although I'd have seen it on the news in a couple days, but good job on the app, and thanks a lot for sharing it for free! I'll be sure to give positive feedback when it comes out on the iPhone :).
 
Great job! I wish I would have found this sooner so I could brag to my iphone friends.

Can you put up a QR code for us androids?


edit: Thanks!

Great app!, works amazingly well on the iphone.

guys who are running software earlier than 3.1.3, i know it wont let you install the app without upgrading, but i managed to find a way of faking the phones software, which lulls it into believing you do in fact have 3.1.3 installed, now im assuming you guys are using jailbroken phones hence the reason why you havent upgraded in the first place.

to fake the firmware...

Step 1: “Fake 3.1.3” app is available in Cydia on http://cy.sosiphone.com Make sure you have added it as a source by selecting manage in cydia -> sources -> edit -> add source

Step 2: Now simply search for “Fake 3.1.3” in Cydia and install it. You must restart your iPhone for the changes to take effect. (although when i did it, i didn't have to restart my phone, and also skip to step 3, to check whether or not the change has taken place before restarting.

Step 3: After reboot, navigate to Settings –> General –> About. You should now have “3.1.3 (7E18)” listed beside “Version”.


after this you should be able to successfully download the app, and enjoy :)

this app deserves front page :) so nice to be able to show friends where you are ranked


edit: calcifer, the only possible improvement i could suggest is prehaps adding a search function, not sure how hard that is to implement, as ive only recently started programming myself... but to give you an idea of what i mean if i were to search the name calcifer it would display all your time trials in the top 100, some website had this feature, although i cant seem to find it at the moment.. gt rankings or something

This is a very good idea. More people have suggested this but unfortunately it's only possible to search for your own time when you're logged on to the PSN network. This means that people have give their PSN credentials (email + password) to the app to view their own time (GT5P itself is doing the same)

This still is useful but I can't see people to be eager to give their info that is linked to the credit card info on the PSN. I still may implement such a feature since showing some additional competitiveness is always good. I still have hopes that Sony may add a user search for GT5, though.
 
Awesome mate! Let me know if you want any design help, I'd love to help out :D

Gave me an idea to do a WRS app now :P
 
Awesome app, works perfect.

Thanks for the effort you have put in to making this app and making it free.

I will rate it right now.

Thx again, well done.
 
Nice work there. I was also thinking of an app that would save my car setups according to car make & model. Can be sorted by power Points (pp), track and best lap times. You think this is something you could work on or is it too much? Again kudos to you!

This seems a like a very good idea. It's probably a lot of work and sounds more like a dedicated app. It's an idea that might be supported in some form by the real GT5. I would like to see what GT5 will offer in the (hopefully) near future.
 
Looks like a cool app. Unfortunately, I own a BlackBerry Storm2.

Is there any chance that you could port this app over to the BlackBerry OS?
 
I've got one word

Brilliant


Just tried it on my girlfriends iPhone and it works really good.

Calcifer :bowdown:

I'm waithing for the new iPhone for myself. And the waithing is gonna feel even longer now. Just like GT5 :lol:
