• The really cool twist? Gap has introduced their new Gap Casting Call iPhone app, to make it even easier to enter

  Child Mode - September 30, 2010

• In all seriousness, the app is a smart idea that should substantially increase the number of submissions, which numbered more than 1 million last year. Gap has pursued an aggressive digital and mobile marketing strategy as of late, having offered discounts via Foursquare, Loopt, and Groupon all within the last six months.

• "As we all know some major brands like, Citibank, Unilever and Nissan have already launched campaigns, and in my opinion more will be coming,? said Jon Vlassopulos, CEO of skyrockit, San Francisco. ?In terms of when the news will start flowing, my bet is that Apple will let their agency and brand partners do the talking and make the buzz more organic.
  
  ?Presumably as these campaigns have just launched, we'll hear more noise in a month or so when the results start coming in,? he said.

• One of the most popular apps. They claim 10 million fans. It?s perfect for all the concerts that you will be attending this summer. This app is such a clever way to reinvigorate a brand that might easily have been swept under the rug as the ranks of non-smokers keeps on swelling.Free.

• Meanwhile, it's always nice to see app of the day make the roundup - this time featuring a virtual zippo lighter for the iPhone

  Pocket-Lint - June 17, 2010

• Obviously, it's not much cop at setting fire to things, but the application has already been downloaded over 10 million times, so the odds that you'll be sat next a fellow Virtual Zippo owner at the next Toto concert are quite high. But, you needn't have the same-looking lighter as, thanks to a recent update, you can actually swap skins or, even, buy new ones (with real money) to give yourself a little individuality.

• The classic - though chavvy - Zippo lighter has always been one of my favourites, it's just fun, flick the lid back, spin the wheel, move the flame. It just brings the best out of that capacitive touch screen.

• [Moderati's Zippo LIghter app] happens to be a perfect substitute for the cultural phenomenon of people holding lighters aloft at concerts and waving them in sync with the music.

  MediaPost - August 12, 2009

• Proof positive of Zippo's continued brand relevance is its ubiquitous iPhone app, created by Moderati, which has been downloaded 5 million times.

  Advertising Age - August 10, 2009

• We loved the trend for artist-focused iPhone apps that aren't just about one-way promotion. Soulja Boy launched an app that lets fans remix three of his songs then share their mixes on Facebook, while David Bowie got a Space Oddity app that lets you mess about with eight stems of the song. It's good to see apps getting more interactive, rather than simply pumping news and iTunes Store links at fans.

  Music Ally - July 23, 2009

• "This is what remix culture is about -- letting the fans interact, not just listen."

  Los Angeles Times - July 14, 2009

• "(On Romplr) We simply expect stuff to be interactive these days, and there?s no reason music should be any different."

  Wired - July 14, 2009

• "You can tweak things pretty easily."

  Tech Crunch - July 14, 2009

• "Forrester advises most brands to offer a free app to reach the widest possible audience, pointing to the popularity of Zippo's free Virtual Lighter app ( developed by Moderati), with more than 3 million downloads to date."
