The following updates will be in this version:
Because of a funky version numbering issue, we’re skipping 1.1 and going for BillMinder 1.2. We’ve just submitted the build to Apple for review. It contains all of the features that were promised in BillMinder 1.1.
We’ve tentatively planned the following features for BillMinder 1.3:
To mark return7’s 1 month anniversary, we will have a 48 hour sale on our applications. Both CastCatcher and BillMinder will be $0.99 USD for 48 hours!
We’ve just received notification from Apple that CastCatcher 1.2 has hit the App Store. There’s usually a delay of 2-3 hours, but look for it. This is a huge release in terms of both features and bug fixes. Please let us know what you think via reviews on the App Store and our forums.
We’ve just pushed a new, final build of CastCatcher 1.2 to Apple. It features all the great stuff it did before, minus a few minor bugs, plus some major feature enhancements. Pending Apple’s review, it should hit your iPhones in about a week.
So there was a bug in CastCatcher 1.2 (I didn’t trim spaces off the end of URLs) that caused stations to display an error instead of playing if users added a space to the end of the URL. It’s been fixed. I’ve not yet submitted 1.2 to Apple because we’re going to go ahead and roll the 1.3 update into 1.2. This means you’ll get the following in 1.2:
Here’s a screenshot of the current beta. Note that it is subject to change.

We’ve moved our site to a new server so we can provide more robust services in the future. Please let us know if anything is missing/goofed up.
We’ve just pushed BillMinder 1.01 to Apple. It will be on your phones soon and will fix the following:
We’ve fixed the issue outlined in the earlier post and are finalizing testing of BillMinder 1.0.1 now. We will release it to Apple shortly, after we’ve done some additional testing (we did two passes tonight, but we thought it would be good to do two more passes). Thanks for your support.
Get your playlist urls from http://classic.shoutcast.com instead of http://shoutcast.com if you’re using CastCatcher 1.0. 1.1 should be out soon and 1.2 after that.
We’ve just been notified that BillMinder 1.0 is ready for sale. It should be available on the App Store within a few hours! Our home page will be updated to reflect this as soon as it is available for purchase.
CastCatcher 1.2 will feature support for:
return7.com is live — please let us know if you find any bugs in the site. it does require a modern browser (ff2/3, saf3, IE7, etc.). forums coming soon.
Update: Now works properly with Mobile Safari on the iPhone as well.
So we’ve fixed many issues in CastCatcher and version 1.1 will be hitting the AppStore soon. It is a free upgrade for current CastCatcher users!
Version 1.1 fixes:
1) Go to your favorite station aggregator (like shoutcast.com)
2) Right click on the tune-in and copy the link (it should end in .pls)
3) Paste the link someplace you can see it
4) Add a new station to CastCatcher and type in the link
5) Hit save and you’re done!
Update: Unfortunately, shoutcast.com has changed the way their station links work so we will release a new version of CastCatcher to Apple later tonight to handle this change. Other shoutcast streams will still work with CastCatcher (we simply need to change the check for .pls in the name). Also, a request for m3u was submitted — we evaluate the amount of effort to get this into v1.2 and welcome more user suggestions!
Update 2: For the first reviewer trying to add WNYC-AM, look at the link on their website (left side, next to “MP3″) called “32k.” When you mouse over it you’ll see a link such as “http://www.wnyc.org/stream/am.pls” — you can add that to CastCatcher directly. 
Update 3: Workaround for Shoutcast.com streams until new version is approved — Simply click the station name link on the shoutcast.com page (Station: NameLinkIsHere) and go to the station’s website. From there, find the link for their winamp/shoutcast/mp3 stream (again, it ends in .pls) and add that to CastCatcher.
We’ve just submitted both BillMinder ($1.99) and CastCatcher ($2.99) to Apple for review. We expect that both will be available for purchase in roughly one week. We’ve put up short descriptions and screenshots of each on their respective pages so take a look and let us know what you think.
We’ve been hard at work and we’re proud to present a sneak peek at CastCatcher 1.0. We’re almost ready to submit it to the AppStore! Get ready!
So CastCatcher is coming along. There seem to be two pretty nasty bugs to squash and some minor interface stuff to clean up and it should be good for a final beta.
So Drew and I have settled on launching with two apps, both of which we’re currently testing:
Get ready for return7 on your iPhone!
