Pixels.com Iphone App

Has anyone used the pixels.com iPhone app? I downloaded it yesterday, signed in and it brought up my avatar picture (old original one), name, and contact info, but said I have no images or bio.
I know if I log into pixels.com online on my computer it shows everything just like on the FAA site. Do I need to do something in settings on the main site or something for all the images to show up on the app. Does anyone else have this problem or has used the iPhone app?

Could you have two accounts.... A lot of people do

I've been playing with it, Steve...would never send it to a client because it's like sending them to faa to see everyone else's work, and not mine unless they do a search....
But I'm trying to see if it will work to use with clients and so far I have one big issue that I discuss in another thread. Hopefully, others will familiarize themselves with the app.

I downloaded it yesterday and so far, other than it being a little slow, I don't seem to have run into any problems.
I do love the way it looks on my phone :)

If I search myself I can find my images. But if I log into my account it won't show anything.

Is it this account you are in here that you see no images on?

Are you not seeing them in search or here http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/steve-litalien.html

This is only a problem on the pixels app.Isee them on the link you provided,and if I search my name on the app. If I'm logged into the app and click on my picture which brings up the drop down menu for my account and click on my name, under the images tab it says Steve has not uploaded any images yet. This is only on the app, on the pixels.com website everything shows up when I'm logged into my account just like the FAA website.

I just downloaded it, but all I see is a black screen.

Ho...lee...AWESOMESAUCE ! !

It totally works.

I just installed the pixels app, jumped to my account, printed out the target, and spent 15 minutes taping it to walls all over my house. That's some crazy cool, real-time, dynamic graphical update stuff going on!

Super fast responsiveness with my iPhone 6.

What I learned so far:

- If you put the target too close to another object/doorway, the "magic" illusion is somewhat lost since, obviously, the app superimposes an image on top of your live image...it doesn't "know" that your lamp is a lamp and not a wall. Not a big deal; just reposition the target and/or move the camera.

- The field of view is pretty wide both horizontally and vertically -- as long as the target is visible and legible. I walked along the hallway, and the image kept changing angles and proportions as well enough to get the gist. I went up some stairs, and the image reacted the same way -- also gave me a better perspective in relation to the other art already hanging on the wall.

- The pixles.com image's luminance is nice and bright. Again, not a shortcoming, but it's amusing (and great!) to see it when the target wall is illuminated much less and/or there's a window with daylight within the camera's field of view...which causes the auto exposure to do it's thing to average out the scene. The artwork practically glows (in a good way) against poorly lit surfaces.

- Not to sound [too] greedy: It'd be even more totally awesome if/when the app/phone has the capability to project multiple images simultaneously. I can absolutely see clients getting an incredible visualization of their wall with a series of prints on it...and saying SOLD! SOLD! SOLD!

Huge THANKS to the team for developing this!
