Since we seem to be in the mood for Koprol today, here’s a lighter post about those occupants of Sentra Senayan II. Guess what, Koprol has been live testing its iPhone app for at least the past couple of weeks. How did we know? A number of Koprol posts from @wiqzz say so.
Does this mean the app is coming soon? Well, sooner that it’s been before. I’d like to say it’s a little too late but since Koprol hasn’t really made waves in countries in which iPhones are used more significantly, it’s probably not that big of a deal. It certainly has taken them a long time, almost as long as that iPhone app for Bouncity.
The mock ups that I saw in June showed a completely different approach compared to the Android app that was released in October. It looked similar to the updated Foursquare app that was released a couple of days later which prompted me to think that the designers at Koprol were actually on to something.
The Foursquare app at that time introduced a new design and new elements. It blew me away how similar the approaches were between the two apps, and then I remembered that both designs seemed to have taken cues from Instagram whether it was intentional or otherwise. Koprol’s early design actually included a pictorial grid as if to encourage photo sharing.
What the app looks like now may or may not be similar to the mockups from back in June but these posts could be a sign that the app actually does exist and may be ready for release soon enough. Unless Wieky was messing with the application ID.
