Rate My App: Heroku Management App for iPhone and iPad

Thanks for the suggestion. I definitely need to rework the video. It was thrown together at the last possible moment yesterday when I saw the app was in review.
Looks good and sounds ideal. I'll probably try it out soon although I don't have a pressing need to manage my servers from the iPhone. Has anyone else tried the other Heroku app which was released last year ( can't remember its name) to provide a comparison??
I bet you mean Nezumi. I'm clearly a biased party, but my primary motivation for writing Doppler for Heroku was that I needed support for multiple accounts and direct console access.
Hmm... I tried the app but encountered a few problems:
- I could login with one account but it didn't show any apps
- I added a different account but got the email address wrong so I deleted it again but this crashed the app
:-(

That's no good! I'd like to figure out what's going on. Can you email me at [email protected]? We'll get it sorted. In the short term, once we fix your crash I can cut you an ad hoc build with an eye to getting a fix into the app store in a week.
Sorry, just remembered this. I got the app working now, not sure what the problem was... Possibly reception issues. The app is very useful, particularly being able to run rake tasks and interact with the console.
You had me at Heroku.
I'm really looking forward to make the iPad my only device on the go (beside the iPhone of course) and this is definitely going to help me in that direction.

If anyone has also used Nezumi (http://nezumiapp.com/ ) I'd love to hear a comparison.
first thing I noticed is that nezumi doesn't offer an iPad version
Like the console access, will download and give it a go :)
There already is a newsreader app for the iPhone called "Doppler", so perhaps you should consider a different name.
the iPad tab on your site references the "iPhone Keychain".. and i couldn't watch your moving screenshots since i appear to have that plugin disabled by choice.
You sure? This is all I could find just now:
Mactacular:doppler_site aaron$ ack -a Keychain
app/views/pages/iphone.html.haml
23: %p Store your password...or not. Your Heroku passwords are saved in the cryptographically secure iPhone Keychain.
Just out of curiosity, which OS and browser are you using, and which video codecs do you have enabled?

One suggestion I have on your website: I think you should follow through with the actions you demonstrate on your video. You do so when on the console. But when you show off the "Add Collaborators" and the email function, it just feels weird to see the cancel button clicked so much. This is pretty minor, but just something I noticed.
