Zoopy launches iPhone app

The guys from Zoopy, a major African video sharing site, have released their official iPhone app, which allows users to view and share videos on the go.

After downloading the app, my first impressions were that the app was pretty impressive. Its interface was well designed, generally slick and fast. The app has a featured section which highlights some of the best videos on Zoopy’s site, the ability to search and a Zoopy TV section.

A key feature of the app enables users to upload their own videos they have captured — a treat with the new iPhone 4’s HD video recording. I personally haven’t tried uploading a video yet, but it looks pretty simple.

One thing the app is missing though is background uploading on the iOS4 software. This would be a great feature to have, given the large size of most video clips. Hope to see that in the next update.
