Fight for MobileChat

[bbplayer5]

Its about time we all start emailing Apple for them to put mobilechat on the app store. It was sent in 10 days ago, and they STILL have not approved it. Why am I so angry? First off, there are no GOOD apps on the app store that are for IMing. Parlingo is absolute crap for so many reasons, as is AIM.

If that can make it on the app store there is NO REASON mobile chat isnt there. They are blocking mobile chat for some reason, and it needs to STOP.

Anyone have an email for Apple in regards to the app store and how bias/crappy it is?

I don't think I mobilechat has some sort of conspiracy against it. Some apps just take awhile. Who knows why. Let the developers handle it.

You need to calm down mate. It will come out eventually. You sound like Apple looked at it and said no, I dont like this app so were not going to post it. It will come, in the meantime struggle with AIM or use a webapp. They suck, its true. But emails are not going to do anything. Besides, you have no idea when I AM RICH was sent in. Maybe it was 2 weeks ago?!

That useless apps are getting approved and posted while more useful apps are stuck in the process

Get stuck in mid-thought?

[Niiro13]

Applications which are paid applications take longer than free applications (for the most part) to get approved.

Add that to the fact that MobileChat is more complex than even Palringo (coupled with the fact that MobileChat's first rejection was because of their server), it might take ten days more more to approve.

Just be patient. At least their server appears to be fine and everything else does too.

ALL apps are stuck in the apporval process. Besides, whats easier to approve, an app that does nothing or a very extensive app such as mobilechat. Everyone just needs to calm down.

Sorry bbplayer5, I quoted ghall because he initially asked a question about your post. That's what I was responding to.

mobilechat "developers" are a buncha liars

[queshy]

i blame the developers. read their forum - they seem really really incompetent - I would bet they haven't even submitted it yet.

Based on the past things I have read on the mobile chat developers, I wouldn't be surprised at this at all.

[queshy]

It just doesn't make sense. They always come up with excuses. Remember when they said "We can't get into iTunes connect" "our account isn't working" - what BS.

And then they go as far as placing 100% of the blame on Apple. What a terrible idea - blame your partners - the ones who were nice enough to give developers a PERFECT way to distribute apps and get them seen.

The OP isn't talking about how long it took for MobileChat to get to Apple for approval...the OP is talking about the time it's taking for Apple to approve.

I don't know what the developers would have to gain by pissing people off by lying about the release date of their app. I think I'm more willing to blame this on Apple. What have they done right lately? Releasing the DUMBEST apps. Removing some of the most useful, adding back and removing again, bugs, apps can't update or stay in sync, Mobile Me, etc. It's just one big cluster****.

[Andrmgic]

I don't think anyone needs to e-mail Apple about mobilechat.. I think people just need to be patient and wait for the app to show up in the store. The developers wouldn't be helping themselves by lying about the release date... it isn't as if you can pre-order an App before it pops up on the store.

If Apple instituted a certain standard of quality or filed a bunch of apps away where they belong (the circular file), the process would unfortunately take even longer than it actually does.

[AHDuke99]

The developers are the ones to blame. Apple isn't going to move faster because people email them. Like I said, I have a suspicion the developers are pulling a fast one on us. I haven't heard any other developers whining like these are about their problems. It makes users think twice about handing them money, that's for sure. I'm almost positive they didn't submit it when they did and it's taking Apple longer to approve it than they thought. The normal time is 3-9 days. I bet they submitted it about 4-5 days ago. I really don't think Apple is rejecting many apps. If everything was working, there's no reason Apple wouldn't accept it. They've accepted all these other IM apps.

These conspiracies about how Apple wants to make an IM app like MobileChat etc ... are just insane. I'd be willing to fight for it if he developers weren't acting so clueless during this whole process. They probably didn't submit it right..

Right it was all just a big joke they aren't releasing it. :rolleyes:

[Markleshark]

That's what it is.

Way to go though, call the devs liars. They are under no obligation to update you, or let you know every couple days whats going on. They are offering you a service, how many updates do you get from Apple as to when something is going to be released? Exactly. **** and wait, if you can't wait... Then leave.

[queshy]

The OP isn't talking about how long it took for MobileChat to get to Apple for approval...the OP is talking about the time it's taking for Apple to approve.

true, but we are also contemplating that it was submitted later than they said it was.

[rKunda]

Other apps have waited longer than 10 days for updates. This is a conspiracy?

Let's talk bridges for sale.

I think he was being sarcastic. lol.

after seeing how it almost appears as though the devs have spent more time calling people out and placing blame, and overall coming across as a very sketchy group of people, I'd be very apprehensive about downloading their app anyway. You'll be using their servers and who knows if they're the type to try to capture some of your personal information in some way or another. Of course any other app devs could be just as questionable, but these guys give people reason to doubt them.

I'll certainly be waiting a while before downloading it to see what people are saying

Care to point out all these instances you're referring to? Just wanting to trash talk for no apparent reason? They've posted an update of the app submitted so how about you stop making false accusations?

how about you go back and read their site news and get some knowledge on the matter instead of trying to tell me I'm the one making false accusations here?

I have been reading their site. Your quote: "after seeing how it almost appears as though the devs have spent more time calling people out and placing blame, and overall coming across as a very sketchy group of people."

More time doing that huh? Where is your proof of how much time they've spent doing what? I can imagine it taking hundreds if not thousands of hours to make an app like MobileChat including editing a preview of the app and I can imagine it take a few minutes to make a post (There are what? 3 or 4 apple critiques among 100+ posts?).

The fact that this app not being released is making you throw a temper tantrum while arguing that you don't trust it and won't use it is hilarious. I bet you're rushing to your iTunes Store every night waiting for the app in anticipation because you can't wait to be one of the first to throw done $3 for it. LOL

I won't comment on your first paragraph since you obviously don't have reading comprehension skills, and who said I was throwing a temper tantrum? Again, did you actually read my post instead of jumping to the defense of the developers like a fat kid on a piece of cake? Tell me where I said anything about anxiously awaiting this app.
What's hilarious about me stating my opinion? I don't trust the integrity of the developers. Why does that matter to you? Are you going to go cry about it? Please go waste your time on someone who cares

You won't comment on the first paragraph because you don't have proof and it was a false accusation. It was an exaggeration to the 100th power. Why are you anxiously awaiting this app? Because you're so angry at the fact that it hasn't been released (claiming they're spending all of their time placing blame rather than say....working on their app?) in a time table to your liking that you are now making assumptions on the integrity of this company.

You're right. What does it matter to us? No one cares if you're going to purchase the app.

Ok, seriously, this is getting pathetic. Do you not comprehend what I'm saying? I am not anxiously awaiting this app. When did I ever say I was angry about anything? I simply said their method of operation is shady to me and I don't trust them so I'll wait and see what other people have to say once it's released. That does not translate into me saying "OMG I'm giddy as a schoolgirl about this app, why won't they release it noooooowww???!?!!"
Please stop trying to assume you know my intent.
