Groundbreaking iPhone app, which is receiving rave industry reviews, goes one step further by enabling users to access media files instantly, from anywhere at any time.
Simian, the global leader in creative workflow and evolutionary media management solutions, has released the latest version of its groundbreaking iPhone app, Simian Go!, that makes it even easier for users to manage media assets while on the move. Users can now access any file in their media library through their iPhone or iOS 7 device and share them instantly with others using Apple’s streaming protocol Airplay. Simian Go! is available as a free download through Apple’s App Store.
Simian released Simian Go! last fall to address the needs of an industry that is increasingly reliant on smartphones and tablets to conduct business on the go. The app has been widely embraced by Simian users and drawn effusive praise for its ability to improve productivity, reduce costs, enhance communications and increase sales.
"Simian Go! is a great sales tool!” says Patrick Knight, post producer, Aero Film. “It allows us to send reels from anywhere at any time. It makes working on the go a possibility and that’s great as our team is constantly traveling.”
Simian Go! users have instant access to their media libraries even when out of the country. “It gives us the ability to work wherever we happen to be, from a soundstage in Los Angeles to a city in Spain or a village in Brazil,” notes Cortez Brothers Media Manager Jason Durdon. “We have embraced Simian Go! and have already seen significant improvement in our response time with clients.”
The latest version of Simian Go! Includes a number of powerful new features. Users can browse their complete media libraries without having to create a reel and download files to their iPhones for offline viewing. In addition, media files can be sent to other IOS devices using Airdrop. Stored reels can now be deleted and sent reels expired and Simian Go!’s search function now includes a “Sort By” option that can be used to sort media by title, brand/client and newest/oldest. “Simian Go! puts the power of Simian's complete browser-based functionality in the palm of your hand!” says Simian's Brian Atton.
