  1. [...] above app by GoldRushComputing, which converts photos into ASCII art, is interesting enough in itself, but what is more [...]

    It would be extra cool to be able to save/export in ASCII text format!

    Hi, just purchased the app today, but i can not see anything in the preview before taking a picture, just a grey screen. It makes the application useless as it is unfortunately.

    Hi Peter

    Thank you for your feedback. We detected this error last week.
    Problem is actually the camera controller graphics overlays the entire area of camera view finder in iOS4.3.
    This problem occurs only in iOS4.3 due to its change in a API.
    We fixed this error and register the update to Apple four days ago.
    Please wait for a couple of more days till the update will be on AppStore.
    If you still see the problem after you will install the upcoming update, please let me know.
    Again thank you for using AsciiCamera and giving us the feedback.
