Today we have released version 1.0.5 that fixes a bunch of bugs and adds a lot of new functionality. Thanks for being part of this amazing community.

We, the OKDOTHIS team, want to say thank you, thank you, thank you to the OKDOTHIS community. In the past three weeks since we launched, we have been blown away by the hundreds of thousands of photos and DOs that have been created in such a short amount of time.

We can’t wait to show you in the new year what we have been busy working on.

While you are surrounded by family, friends and a lot of eggnog, we know you’ll be thinking of new resolutions and ideas for the new year. We can’t wait to see all of these creative sparks and ideas come to life with OKDOTHIS.

We have decided that for the holidays, OKDOTHIS will be FREE to join! We hope that while you are with your family and friends, this will give them the encouragement to join the OKDOTHIS community.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year’s wishes to the OKDOTHIS community!

We can’t thank you all of you enough for your support and love for the OKDOTHIS community. We’re taking all the feedback, comments, likes, and even dislikes to heart as we continue to improve and grow. We’re still hard at work.

One big request we received was for an easier way to find friends, or notify them that you’re currently using OKDOTHIS. Yesterday we rolled out an app update (1.0.2) that address a bunch of bugs, as well as new features such as

* Finding Facebook friends who use OKDOTHIS

* Inviting friends to download OKDOTHIS

* A new DO feed to see when DOs are being created

We also launched the beginning of user profiles on the web, example https://okdoth.is/u/jeremy . We think you can see where we are going with these profiles. But for now, this is a really easy way to direct people to your account. We’ve also designed an icon you can use on your websites. Use the links below to download it. Check out my website to see how I used it. www.jeremycowart.com

When I used to teach photography people would always ask me, “How do you know what to say to your subjects?” or, “How do you direct people?” or, “How do you tell them to pose?” I thought, “Hmm … there should be an app for that.”

For a while, it was going to be a Jeremy Cowart idea app. I quickly realized how lame that was because I only had a handful of ideas. So I thought, “What if it was a community where everyone and anyone could add ideas? Community helping community?”

We’ve worked hard building toward this new community. And finally, here we are.

There are several things we’re doing with this app that are different from what you may expect, and different from what you’ve seen elsewhere.

Idea-sharing on your camera screen

For the first time in the history of photography, you can browse the minds of friends and strangers alike on your camera screen. Most creative apps go social after the creative process. OKDOTHIS goes social during the creative process, taking the dynamics of ideas themselves into the social sphere.

Idea search engine

We’ve built what we believe is the first-ever idea search engine. Need an idea? Simply type a word in our search box, and you’ll get limitless ideas - what we call “DO’s” related to that word. Match those DOs to a new photograph or an image on your camera roll.

Beyond mobile

OKDOTHIS goes far beyond your iPhone. Use the app alongside your DSLR, or any camera in the world for that matter. Use our endless database of DOs to spark the creativity for your next photos, whether you’re on vacation, at home, at work, or wherever.

Creative thinking trumps filters

We need more creative thinking, not more filters. Even though OKDOTHIS provides filters - and stackable ones at that - we’re not about limiting you to adding effects. We’re about helping you create and share ideas.

Community over competition

The photo industry has always been divisive, fostering a "my space" mentality. You stay in your corner, and I'll stay in mine. OKDOTHIS flips the script on that mentality, recognizing we're all in this together. We all have similar experiences, similar challenges, and similar ideas. But the beauty is that we all translate those ideas and experiences differently. And that’s where OKDOTHIS really shines. 

For amateurs and pros

One of the great things about OKDOTHIS is that it offers a vast range of ideas for photography pros, both experienced and beginners. The veterans will gain great insight and ideas from the fresh minds of new photographers, and the amateurs will learn endless wisdom from the experienced pros.
