A few days ago I told you about one of the best deals I’ve seen to pick the physical Nooma DVDs. And tonight I find out that they are now coming out as iPhone apps. Here’s part of the description from iTunes:
This NOOMA application includes the full-length version of NOOMA Rain | 001 Rob Bell. In addition to providing unlimited viewings (no network connection required), the app also includes all the content from the 32-page discussion guide, a leader-follower feature that allows synchronous viewing of the discussion guide, the ability to email a friend with links and clips related to the film, and a link to the Flannel Store where you can learn more about the film.
From the description it gives you a screen by screen guide to guide the discussion. Looks like it would be a great teaching tool to go along with the video. At $4.99 it’s seems like a good value for the video, booklet, and discussion tools. I can’t wait to check it out.

I purchased one of these NOOMA iphone apps (Lump), but I was dissapointed to find out that the video doesn’t work with Apple’s composite AV cable. I know the cable is not faulty because it works with the image/video gallery, but not with the NOOMA app. I hope the developers issue an update to fix this.
I want to comment on the whole of the Nooma iPhone apps.. I LOVE the nooma videos, and use them weekly in my ministry, however, I think that the iPhone app is a big fail. I want to be able to keep all of these on my iPhone, however each video is it’s own application, which means I have to have 20+ icons on my iPhone… it would be really great if they could make 1 application, and then with in the app you can buy each video/discussion.. that way it doesn’t take up so much space on my screen. I also find it very frustrating that the videos don’t play using apples composite a/v cable
