AWESOME! Looks so great SlidetoPlay, going to try it out right away! :)
It requires 3.1.3? Why?
Like Andrew said, this is a present from us to YOU, our wonderful readers. Thank you so much for all of your support, and enjoy the app! We look forward to reading your comments :)
Awww it needs 3.1.3 :'(. Hopefully you'll update the app so it works on older firmwares (3.1.2) too..
Support 3.1.2
Hey guys, the 3.1.3 issue will be fixed in the next build which should be very soon, so no worries.
Great stuff. Downloading now!
Support 3.1.2. Bump.
Cool, I wasn't expecting an app!
And haha, I guess this will motivate me to go ahead and download 3.1.3 XD
Love it!
how many downloads did u guys get?
?
Great App moreover it's free everybody should download it.............
not sure i'm going to take the effort to upgrade to 3.1.3 just for this app, there isn't even anything new on that firmware
We're getting a release out to support earlier OS revs pronto. Setting it to 3.1.3+ was an oversight.
I didn't notice any big changes in the 3.1.3 upgrade, but why not upgrade? Unless perhaps piracy/jailbreaking restrictions are preventing the upgrade (not sure about that one). Either way I'm lovin the app guys, its gonna replace "appfinder" as my tool to find new games/utilities. Keep up the great work.
I have a jailbroken device, but do not have any pirated app! Jailbreaking is not for piracy only!
I didn't want to miss SBSettings nor Cydget.
But back to topic: awesome app! Def. the best of all the app-site apps I tried so far.
Thanks for adding 3.12 support! Downloading now :)
Please add search button to search through reviews.
Please add another functionality wherein user can display apps based on STP rating.
great job on this guys.
Please add a snipe/wish list function - if you do, there will be no need for me to use AppSniper any more
great work i would say,i really appreciate the work find some more interesting iPhone apps at http://www.appshouter.com
