isn't this supposedly the largest apple site besides apple.com?? and still no app....
Well, to be fair, apple.com doesn't have an app either.

I'd guess size but that would be stereotyping.
No new features!! Feature freeze! It's stable! Feature freeze! There's always 'just a couple more things to do'. Feature freeze!I'm all done now, so I want to add a few new features over the next two/three weeks and prepare for a release at the end of that.
At a guess, Arn is pretty busy playing with his new iPad, trying to get his hands on an iPhone4, chasing up breaking rumours about said iPhone 4, and writing reviews for TouchArcade. Don't wait for him.I'm pretty reluctant to put much time in to this without any contact from arn. So, if you're sitting there wondering why this app is taking so darn long and want to see it on the store soon, try and get arn to take a look at his PMs.
Agreed with two above! Just RELEASE it! You can add features along with updates, people who want/need them can then download the updates. If it's stable, that's enough Have you tried dropping a PM to other admins? Doctor Q at least should be able to help you and discuss with Arn if needed

Agreed, I've always found teh Q very responsive.
If you dont want to submit it to the app store yet, why not open it up for beta testers? I'm sure there would be plenty of people here more than willing to help you test it out and give feedback.
I wanted to do this earlier, but was told that arn didn't want to (i.e. that I can't go forward without his approval, which is totally fine).
It is also not appropriate for me to release the MR app under my personal dev account. If MR wants its own app on the store, it will have to buy a developer subscription to submit the app from. I need some contact with the staff to access that (I'm not sure if Doc Q can help me here).
Also, when I said the app was stable, what I meant is that it's not yet feature-rich enough for a 1.0 release, but the features that are there are stable and work well. I'd prefer a rapid release model on the AppStore (i.e. a public preview) with perhaps weekly updates, slowing down as the app develops further until we can declare a 1.0.
Just wanted to acknowledge that a line was dropped. The delay is on the MacRumors side, where the project has been simmering on the back burner.Drop Doc Q a line...

Like many forum users, I hope to see the project move forward, but no schedule has been established.
