VYPA Is Now on iPhone - and Still on Android

VYPA is now on the App Store.

If you've been asking us "when is it coming to iPhone?" - and a lot of you have - the answer is today. The VYPA app is live on iOS, right next to our Android app on Google Play. Whether you host screens, run ads, or manage signage for your business, you can now do all of it from the phone in your pocket.

Why an app at all?

Screens don't wait for you to get back to your desk.

When an advertiser books a spot on a host's screen, that request needs an answer while the store is open - not tomorrow morning when someone finally opens a laptop. When an ad goes live, the person who paid for it wants to know now. And when a screen in your shop goes quiet, you want to find out before your customers do.

That's what the app is for. It puts the moments that matter on your phone, as they happen.

What you can do with it

If you host a screen, ad requests ring your phone the moment they arrive. One tap opens the request so you can accept or decline - or switch on auto-accept and let paid campaigns play without waiting on you. You can see your screens and what you've earned from them, wherever you are.

If you advertise, you can find screens near your customers, book and pay for a campaign, and follow it right to the last play. The app tells you the moment your ad goes live, and when a campaign finishes it's one tap to run it again.

If you run signage for your own business, your screens come with you. Update what's showing, check that every screen is online, and fix things from your phone instead of driving back to the store.

Getting here

We won't pretend this happened overnight. Getting an app through Apple's review takes patience - a few rounds of questions, a few fixes, a few late nights - and we'd rather ship something solid than something rushed. It's the same story as our Samsung App Store launch: we keep at it until it's right.

Thank you

This is the part we most want to say.

VYPA is still young. Many of the hosts, advertisers and business owners reading this took a chance on us early - before there was much to show. You put our player on your screens, ran your first campaigns with us, and told us honestly when something wasn't working. A lot of what's in this app came straight out of those conversations.

We don't take that lightly. Your patience and your patronage at this stage mean more than we can put in a blog post, and we're genuinely excited about where VYPA goes next - together with you.

Got thoughts on the app? Something you wish it did? Tell us. Reply to any of our emails, or leave a review in the store - we read every one.

You bring the screens. We'll keep lighting them up.
