I use the overcast app and I cannot get Ito show up, even copying the feed over.
Never mind. I got it. But it would be nice if it just showed up instead of the whole copy/paste thing.
Hey Brett!
iTunes just approved us today, so we should now be showing up everywhere automatically! I don’t know much about the Overcast app, but hopefully that’s the case with your app, as well.
Model releases – I wouldn’t think you would need one if you are posting to a social media site, as long as you are not advertising or making money from the posting. Isn’t that the case?
Typically, model releases are necessary for any sort of public display. There are a lot of people (especially families with children) who don’t like to have their photos in public areas for safety reasons, so it’s always a good idea to have one signed so that you don’t get burned in the long run. I just choose to live by the old saying, “better safe than sorry.”
