iPhone - SimpleNZB beta preview

My hope was to make my iPhone app feature complete and have beta testers work out the bugs but I think I'm mostly finished with the parts that I think are fun (data enrichment, etc.) and I'm left with the stuff that I'm not too excited about (server management controls and stuff like that).  I've heard that "great artists ship" so wanted to get a preview out there to stay motivated  :)

I'll be sending out PMs to the beta testers later tonight.

Anyways, here are some screenshots.  These are the queue screens, warning screen, and history screen.  History allows you to clear everything or just stuff that finished OK.  The queue screen allows you to pause individual downloads and the progress circle is gray for a paused download and blue for an active one.  (Yeah, there's a bug where the server stats say "null" at the bottom)

Here's a movie search on NZBs.org.  Movie information is automatically downloaded from TMDb if possible.  Rotating to landscape enters coverflow mode and backdrops are downloaded, too.  Need to work on the look of the cells in the table.  Evidently my coverflow pic is too large

OK, got some hosting this evening so have a place for images.  Here's what Coverflow looks like.  Backdrop animation is a bit choppy but working on that...this is my first iPhone app so still learning.  Anyways, when you tap a centered cover you'll see the movie details.  Swiping to the left will show you the actors (I'm pulling thumbnails too but disabled it on this build...pretend they're there)

I've also added a Cover Wall view.  This is accessed by hitting the polaroid picture icon thingy at the bottom of the NZB result table.  Someday I'll have an icon other than a pig for the normal table.  Maybe.

If you touch a cover if flies out for a closer view and hitting the little 'i' in the corner flips around to show some movie details on the back.  Someday I'll have some other information there.  Maybe.

I don't see any screenshots, but it sounds awesome! I'm always willing to test new software if you need a hand.
