I was wondering what "splash page" means in this context.. I thought this app generates splash screens which are displayed when a mobile app starts up (not a good thing anyway). I would rather call it "presentation page" or "virtual flyer".
There is a misspelling in their example page in the video. "Like ous on Facebook ..." I am never sure if there is a contest for noticing these things. lol

I thought iOS standards required an initial splash page? Or am I confusing this with a required loading page.
Instead the official recommendation is to make the splash image a stripped down version of your app's home screen - for an address book, this would be the main screen without any data, for example. This gives the app a more immediate feel, and also effectively hides a lot of the load time, since there is also no visible transition between the loading and ready states.
Of course, this is far from the reality of things - a lot of apps use splash screens for a variety of reasons, and most do not gracefully transition between splash and ready states (e.g., that empty address book splash screenshot will just magically pop into a ready view, instead of animating into said state).
My app generated an error. I presume its because its not available in America (only UK):
