Hey Everyone. We have had a lot of great feedback on our app so far but unfortunately the Academy sent a letter to Apple that our app was infringing on their property and Apple has taken the app off the store. We are working to get this back as soon as possible and i'll update everyone when the app is back in the store.

Still waiting for apple to put our app back up. Dev's pray that Apple never removes one of your apps from the app store. Getting it put back up is a very difficult process, where you can't even talk to a human. Email only to a general account, very frustrating process. We are going to write a blog post shortly and send a letter to Apple, it really is ridiculous how difficult it is to get an app back in the store after they take it down per someone else's request.

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that we have moved the app back to free for a few more days until out new update is released. The app is getting an entire refresh with lots of new features (group pools, news, a new giveaway), all new graphics, and we think going to be a great free update for everyone. Download it now for free before the update is out and price goes back to the normal price.

You can download the app in iTunes here: bit.ly/aso0LT

Thanks,
