Release Notes v2.1

What’s New in Movreak 2.1

Known Issues

Sign-in to Facebook:

Sign-in to Facebook using 3G/EGDE/GPRS internet connection might be failed, while using WIFI connection is just fine. So far we only tested using Telkomsel 3G, so we don’t know whether the issue happens on another 3G provider. You can try to access http://facebook.com from iPhone’s Safari web browser, and try to sign-in, it will be failed too. So, it’s not Movreak’s bugs.

To overcome that problem, the easiest way is sign-in first using WIFI connection. We’ll cover the complete solution in a separate blog post. Please contact us for further information at: movreak at dycode dot com.

SparxUp 2010 Awarding Night

Last night, Saturday Nov 6, 2010, is the SparxUp 2010 awarding night. Movreak is officially crowned as the Best Mobile category, along with FunCrowds.com and PersonaFlag.com.

The event’s started by performance by Mike’s Apartment (jangan samakan dengan “Mike’s Apartment” yg lain), then followed by opening speeches and talkshow. And then…awarding time. Here’s some photos:

Although Movreak is not selected as the best of the best, but selected as the Best Mobile is a great honor for us. Selected among 340 contestants is an achievement, we think. By this award, Movreak has been getting good exposure since few days ago, and hopefully will continue to be more exposed to movie freaks specifically and mobile users generally, and hopefully to investors as well :)

Thanks to SparxUp for organizing this event. Looking forward for the next year event.
