Anybody knows if the app is available yet? A search for ""1 Second Everyday" on the Apple App Store doesn't return anything.

It seems to be a Kickstarter project (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cesarkuriyama/1-second-everyday-app/ http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cesarkuriyama/1-second-e...) to get the app out.

  Well I'm a backer and the app will be free for first 24 hours starting from Friday midnight.

  "Pledge $1 or more (7525 backers) For just $1 the iOS App is yours!" The iTunes store doesn't actually have a mechanism to achieve this, does it? Other than making it free for everyone for quite a while (months?) and using promo codes to fix up any backers who didn't download it in time. Promo codes are limited to 50 per release, I believe.

    They could always have an in-app purchase item that can be bypassed with a code.

      I assume that isn't allowed by Apple. EDIT: It appears that it might be (or something functionally equivalent) -- see the post by bhaak.

      Was just about to say that. Make an in-app purchase and enable it for free for all the backers.

    There is another way to achieve this (but apparently the developer didn't do this). Make a second version of the app that requires a login. Give the login information to your supporters. IIRC you can even put an app into the store and set it not to appear in searches(?), then you need also to hand out the iTunes url.

  ...so this whole thing is just a thinly veiled marketing scheme then?

    I wish all my thinly veiled marketing schemes could make news on the BBC.

According to the project homepage[1], the Android and iOS apps are "coming soon", and his twitter says he submitted them on 2nd Jan[2]. There is also "Life In Seconds"[3] which has a few good reviews, and a "1 Second Daily Cam" app by Simon Meyborg but that has five one-star reviews on the iPhone UK app store. A similar idea is One Second Epic[4], which also looks promising.
