Yeah, there are no groups shown either. It's awesome at Ł3.

WHere did I read that you can't read groups on the App?

My bad if untrue.

Right. SO basically people have been paying Ł3 for a gimped app. At least the Android App, though gimped, is free.

Bit of a piss-take, imo.

You don't have to get it.

I use it all the time and it was worth the asking price.

IIRC it had groups but then something broke. Now that's been fixed and they're being put back in.

This isn't an Apple thread. Or even an iPhone thread. It's a thread about the EG App. Which I think is a rip-off as it doesn't give you full functionality.

I didn't know the ADF stretched as far as protecting the Apps, too.

The app is missing a few bits and pieces but I see it as a nice one off payment to say thanks to the people who do this site.

I'm more curious as to how much goes to Vroom. I think he does great work given this is something he does in his spare time.

It's no longer a spare time occupation, he's doing it full time now

Really? Well then I demand a refund for all the not working spoiler tags in the RDR thread! I've seen reviews on the App Store, if there's a single thing wrong you give it 1 star and demand a refund.

Holy crap!

I'm not working for EG folks before any rumours start.

You don't like it don't buy it. You don't buy it then how would you moan about it? You haven't used it.

If you've bought it then thanks. Feel free to moan. Theres a BIG old thread that I do my best to monitor and fix what's gone wrong.

DF stuff appears in the articles section and in the streaming videos also.

Kisses!

I meant he's a full time iPhone dev now. Am I wrong in that Vroom? Not for EG, just simply full time, which is what said

Yeah i'm curious too, I bought the app as soon as I bought my ipod touch, but then I found I liked the forum better in safari - but at least I supported EG, right?

@db I would imagine vroom! means (s)he's not actually a member of EG staff but a portion of each sale goes to them. But I'd bet you anything vroom won't say how much!

Fwiw I really like the app for the iPhone (and it's well worth 3 quid) but I'm not sure if I'd use it as much on the iPad.
