Apple App store broken for Cinq Photo

Unfortunately it appears that the App store is showing the Cinq Photo app as “No longer available” when you attempt to download it on your iPhone.

This does not appear to be a problem on the iPad, even though this is a single Universal App (one App for both iPhone and iPad).

This is very unfortunate because of the timing of this Apple App Store problem. We have had a tremendous response from being the Kim Komando App of the day (thank you so much!).

UPDATE: It turns out that this issue was related to installing on multiple devices.  If you first installed on an iPhone, then you would get the “no longer available” error when attempting to install on another device with the same iTunes account like an iPad.  In testing we discovered that rebooting the device receiving the message resolves this issue.  Additionally, this was true for any previously purchased App and not just Cinq Photo!

Create a Photo Network for Friends With Cinq

Meet Trish. Trish is going out for a night on the town. She and her friends always have a great time, and take lots of photos. However, Trish’s Facebook page is a little too public for those photos to be posted ‘in the moment,’ so she needs to be able to share her photos with her friends, but not with the world…at least not quite yet!

Trish has a copy of Cinq on her iPhone that she has been using at her day job with a construction firm, so she downloads the Cinq server application on her home computer, and creates a new clubbin’ login ID. She gives the ID to each of her girlfriends, and now everyone in her group can take pictures through the Cinq app, and see what’s happening all night long.

Trish goes up to take a picture of the band, while Alexis stays near the bar and takes a picture of the crowd. Gina is dancing…sort of, and Alexis captures the moment in time. All of these photos are stored safely on Trish’s home computer, but the girls can see all of the pictures on each iPhone they are carrying. Even Gina’s iPod Touch can access the photos using the WiFi in the club! The girls have a great time, and round out the night at a 24-hour restaurant.

Sitting in the restaurant, Trish goes through the night’s haul of pics with her friends and they all decide on a few great pictures to post for the night. Trish sends the images directly to her Facebook account, and Alexis posts their adventure to Twitter, all through the Cinq application.

Have you ever gone out after a night of partying, only to spend time doing the obligatory ‘send outs’ of the great (embarrassing or otherwise) photos from the night before? Imagine being able to see your friends ‘in the moment’ and have your entire group of friends share their night as it happens. With Cinq, you can create an instant photo album, one that is shared between your group of friends, but not available online until you’re ready to post them.

Cinq keeps your data safe, and should Alexis or Trish have lost their phones over the course of the night, their images would be safely at home on the computer that Trish had set up.

Cinq let’s you focus on the images and what’s important to you, and leaves the storage and maintenance out of the picture. Enjoy the party, and know that when you get home, your images will be there for you, no matter what is in them!
