OMID Ad Support & Double-tap to Rewind/Fast Forward
Pioneered by the Interactive Advertising Bureau, the Open Measurement standard for video in the mobile app is a giant leap for viewability measurement. Open Measurement gives publishers transparency and control to manage the third-party verification scripts rather than running them through the ad creatives themselves, where they cannot be accessed. Our iOS 4.1.0 release brings out of the box OMID support for this industry-wide specification through our VAST ad client.
One more thing! Excited to introduce the most popular gesture control, double-tap to RW/FF, for watching a video to iOS 4.1.0. With this latest iOS SDK, users can easily navigate between frames by simply double tapping either side of the screen. This great feature is well blended into slick UI.
