As the iPad goes on sale in the UK I wanted to write a quick note to update you on the success our Guardian EyeWitness app has generated Stateside over the past few weeks.
After being showcased during the OS4 announcement by none other than Apple CEO Steve Jobs himself, who took a step back onstage to admire it and described it as "cool" and "really nice", our app has since been downloaded nearly 90,000 times.
To put that into perspective, it means that around one in every 10 people who bought an iPad now has Eyewitness on their device. In April, the app also generated 7.5m page views (more than our Guardian iPhone app) so we're pretty happy with the results.
The user feedback has, likewise, been hugely positive, with comments ranging around the "pretty slick" and "absolutely breathtaking" level. Please do rate us and let us know what you think. I can promise you we do try and read every single one!
The app was conceived to showcase our amazing Eyewitness photography series and, to coincide with the UK iPad launch, we've asked one of our superb photographers, David Levene, to record his thoughts.
If you'd like to know more about the app, then please read my earlier blogpost here.
Do let me know your thoughts, whether direct feedback on the app itself or some thoughts as to how you'd like us to develop and enhance it. Please feel free to contact me at jonathon.moore@guardian.co.uk or leave your thoughts below.
