Astrid PiepschykSo how is everything going? Its been 19 months now since this Pozzible campaign was successfully funded and we backers are still waiting to use the app. There will always be updates occurring with Apple and other devices so you can't really use that as an excuse, otherwise the app will never be ready to use. There needs to be a set date for you and your team to work towards for app delivery, so that your supporters are not kept waiting indefinitely. Also you need to keep posting updates to inform your supporters of what is happening, because you have only provided one update in over a year and a half and quite frankly, I feel I've waisted my money in supporting you. So, please provide a delivery date we can look forward to and deliver on your promise.10y
Vahur PuikCongratulations! Rephotography really is hot globally. I just want to point out that we've been developing (great part of it during several hackathons) a rephotography platform and apps in Estonia – www.ajapaik.ee. On the web users are asked to geotag historic pictures in a slightly gamified interface and upload rephotos of old pictures. Our app is specially dedicated to rephotography, it enables the gradual overlay and zoom (of the historic shot) and the app is also harvesting the location metadata for pictures (both geocoordinates and the direction of the view). Our app codes are opensource on www.github.com/Ajapaik. Our Android and Windows8 (W8 not yet on Github) apps are public, at the moment only in Estonia. The codes for iOS and WP7 are prototypes created last October. You plan to have a payed app, maybe it's worth reconsidering and we could join forces in developing an open source one (on several platforms)? Btw, there is also a basic Android rephotography app called RePrism and Historypin's apps offer the opportunity to make repeats as well.12y

Fiona Marquis-KyleI love Mark Strizic's work. I love the whole idea of this app. I love my State Library and everything about the dynamite photographic archive of Melbourne that will, deservedly, attract a wider audience. And this site and tool for attracting the readies so you can land this project is just, well, very cool. Congratulations. Fiona.12y
