Knocking iPhone App review

Welcome to another day at Accessories for iPhone.

Thanks for tuning in again.  Today we wanted to review an amazing app that has been around since late 2009.  It is called Knocking.  It basically allows for Mobile to Mobile Live Sharing.  What this means is that for example if you are witness to an amazing event, or interesting event, and you want to share it with your friend(s), and/or family, you may do so live by simply “knocking” them and allow them to see Live what your iPhone’s camera is seeing.

We have tested this application both internally, and outside the office, and it has worked really well.  Sometimes there may be a slight lag, but that is usually fixed once flow has begun.  We had in fact one of our friends “knock” one of our iPhone while in Mexico.  We were able to see the sun, the sand, the pool, and the beautiful people bathing in the sun, while most of the country was freezing cold (yes even San Diego was cold at the time).

Knocking may also function as a video to iPhone conversation (one way though for now).  Basically, let’s say you are on the phone with Jim, and while on the phone you see something quite spectacular, and want to share that, without hanging up.  Well being on AT&T, and using iPhone’s Knocking App, you can do just that.  Simply press the Home button on your iPhone (after you put call on speaker mode), open up the Knocking App.  Knock your friend (all while talking on the phone), and voila!  You know have a phone call, while sharing video simultaneously.  You can even turn the video to show your face while talking!  Granted it is one way right now, but with time we believe there will be two way video sharing.  You may how it works in the official video from the Knocking Team below this text:

We would love to hear your stories.  Have you used Knocking?  How have you used it? Any cool and fun stories to share?  We would love to hear from you as always.

Cheers!
