Overnight Wins 4 Star Review from MyAppleGuide.com

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

App Review by MyAppleGuide.com

“Today we take a look at Overnight from Bottle Rocket. We have been sitting on this gem of an app for some time now and have finally gotten a chance to write a comprehensive review of it. If you are a small business owner or just someone who sends or receives multiple shipments monthly, Overnight is an essential utility for your iPhone.

First off, let me say that Bottle Rocket has a really cool website! When you see their collection of apps for the iPhone, you will immediately agree with me that these guys really know how to make your iPhone look good! Their apps are colorful and intuitively designed, and easily stand out from the masses. Our focus app today, Overnight, is the most comprehensive shipment management app for the iPhone.

Overall, we love the simple yet intuitive design and added functionality that Overnight offers. It is definitely the most feature rich shipment management app for the iPhone. Also, the app is designed to maintain the branded colors of each of the major carriers. e.g. UPS shipments have a brown interface and FedEx has purple… Be sure to check out our gallery of Overnight’s interface screenshots and look out for reviews of other titles from Bottle Rocket in the future.”

Overnight Getting Rave Reviews

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Overnight is one of those apps that’s difficult to articulate just how feature-rich, yet intuitive it is. Apple’s iTunes App Store is cluttered amongst a see of “one trick pony” apps, or Ringtone Apps, as some other bloggers have called them. These are small offerings with little more than a single gag, some clever description writing and that every-appealing .99 “why not” pricing.

So amongst a mess of flatulent Apps we’re happy to see some apprecaition for an enterprise-grade offering. 148apps is quickly becoming a respected authority in the industry with handy news feeds and rich-content reviews. They recently reviewed Overnight and this is what they had to say:

The richness of what could have been an oversimplified app makes Overnight really shine. Too often developers fail to consider how users will actually utilize their software, and it’s apparent that Bottle Rocket put some serious thought into their design.

148apps gave Overnight four and a half out of five stars with a an overall “Highly Recommend” rating. This is just a small snipit and encourge you to check out the full article for yourself. Visit us on iTunes to check out Overnight and see what all the hype is about.

Wings Soars to Top 10 Paid Apps!

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

With Wings being our first app to hit the iPhone store, we really didn’t really know what to anticipate. Sure, WE believe we’ve created an awesome little app. We hoped and preyed that the mobile community would share in our enthusiasm but we’re not going to say that it wasn’t without trepidation that we released our new fledging out into the iTunes wilderness.

Wowzers! The response has been unbelievable! Even surpassing heavy competition like X-plane, Wings reached Top 10 Paid iPhone apps in only it’s first week of release. We’re about as deliriously high as our app and it certainly reinforces our mission to continue to create elegant, functional apps without compromise. Stick around and see what new heights we ascend to…

Haven’t tried Wings yet? Snag it on the iTunes App Store or learn more about it at http://www.bottlerocketapps.com/#/wings/
