Klip hits 100,000 downloads in the blink of an eye

If you want to know just how popular a particular app can be, then you need not look at any other benchmarks apart from the number of times that app has been downloaded – as well as the length of time it takes to touch a particular milestone like say, the 100,000 mark. Klip is one such example, where this mobile video app for the iPhone has hit 100,000 downloads in slightly more than a week, making this the fastest video app ever to touch that milestone.

It is a rather notable achievement, considering how many other choices there are available to take and share videos on the iPhone at the moment. I suppose Klip ranks pretty high on the popularity stakes because it is capable of handling some of the traditional problems iOS video players experienced without a hitch, which goes to prove that sometimes, the way to move forward and improve is so obvious, where all it takes is focused effort to make sure a particular problem or obstacle is overcome.

The app itself was developed on top of all-new adaptive streaming technology that Klip built in-house, giving it the advantage of having the world’s fastest video start even with mediocre bandwidth. Not only that, the back-end will check your available bandwidth every four seconds and adapt playback quality to match it. Would you prefer consistent quality of a video all the way with pauses in between when the connection is bad, or constant streaming with quality degradation from time to time?
