Running
The first time you run LiveStock, you will be asked to enter your iStock username and password.
Your iStock username and password are used for logging-in to istockphoto.com to retrieve your download information. They are stored in a database on your phone which is only visible to the LiveStock application. They are never sent anywhere else, and never used anywhere else. But be aware that when you use this or any other application which needs your istock details you are trusting the honesty of the application writer. Please seriously consider the risks of trusting someone you don't know when using this or any other unofficial istock application.

Please Note

This software is not produced by istockphoto and istockphoto customer support will not be able to assist with any problems. Please report any problems in the LiveStock thread on the forums, or by site-mailing theasis on the istock website.

Release history:

• 2009-10-04: v2.3.4 Provide an option to show recent downloads on the main page in a more easily read format and, optionally, with thumbnail images.
• 2009-09-26: v2.3.2 This version has an important fix for a database bug. In previous versions, not all database access was thread-safe and it was possible for LiveStock to forget your iStock login details. Versions since v2.3.0 have been rewritten to be thread-safe. There are also some new features with this version.
  On the Stats page, if you press the menu button you'll see a new menu option which I've called "Best Days". That tells you your best month ever, best month this year, best day ever, best day this year and best day this month in terms of both royalties and downloads.
  On the various graphs pages, try swiping your finger left->right or right->left across a graph. You can now step backwards and forwards through time to see graphs for your entire history. On the monthly graph page it steps a month at a time. On the yearly and normalised graph pages it steps a year at a time. On the text stats pages it steps a month at a time if you swipe the month's stats at the top, or a year at a time if you swipe the year's stats at the bottom. The text stats tables are a little slow to redraw...take a breath after swiping!
  There's another new Menu option to reset the date to the current month and year.
  On the Recent Download Details page, I hated those silly little buttons to move forwards and backwards through your recent downloads, so now you can swipe instead. I suggest you swipe across the picture or the table of numbers - if there's a scrollbar in the description area you'll have a hard time getting the swipe to be seen there.
  There are a couple of other tweaks and fixes here and there, but those are all the major changes.
• 2009-09-22: v2.2.12 Vetta sales are now indicated with orange text in the downloads list and an orange background to the title (plus the text "(Vetta)") in the download details.
• 2009-09-18: v2.2.10 The recent downloads detail view now includes dowloads-per-month and earnings-per-month information.
• 2009-08-15: v2.2.9 This fixes a calculation in the stats pages - it was coming up with the wrong value for dollars per day for the current month in the normalised graph view. It also tries to be a little more robust in cases where the communication between LiveStock and iStock is a bit flakey. Finally, I found a case where LiveStock would try to update the current statistics when the main page appeared even if you had said you want manual updates only.
• 2009-07-28: v2.2.6 This is a bug-fix release only; no new features. This release is just catching up with some istock changes that happened overnight.
