No - trying to get an app that has a feature that Apple blocked isn't really the same as piracy. He isn't stealing the app as such - he'd pay for it if he could, but he can't. He wants to use the volume control to snap a photo, but Apple refuses.

This is the only way.

I am not here to condone or approved anyones actions, but I find this statement real funny, so based on what you said if I want to pay for the Popes hat, but the vatican don't want to sell it to me, is it ok for me to break in and get it?
 
I've looked for it several times in Installous but I can't find it the only one I see is camera plus which is a cheap wanna be app. I been fallowing the dev hoping for news. But the dev hasn't even said a word about it being pulled. Ticks mr off bad I've tried all I can to get the app. Here is the debs site

That's the WORST analogy ever. Seriously, what on earth..?

Apple approves an app, then notices that it lets users use the volume controls for something other than volume controls, so pulls it. Users really want that functionality, but can't get it because Apple refuses to allow it. That version of the software is no longer available, nor will it ever be available. Simply put, there's no other way to get it, ever. So the only way to get it and get the functionality, is to "pirate" the app.

Tell me, what does that have to do with stealing the Pope's hat?

it was a joke dude, chill out, it's almost Friday!

forget the pope's hat, make it the GM EV1, same term apply "Users really want that functionality, but can't get it because GM refuses to allow it. That version of the CAR is no longer available, nor will it ever be available. --> that's not reason to go steal one that may be still be around.

Analogy's comparing duplications of software to physical products is different...

Heck, the creator of the app would expect it to be on Cydia for free after knowingly putting an easter egg in which would result in his app being pulled.

This is like comparing apples to oranges. Please stop doing analogies.

Gotta agree :D Doubt Apple will do the 10 hottest Dev's but she would be near the top I think for sure. ;) and ladies they could have a guys version for you. I wish the App would be back soon though.
 
I was lucky enough to buy this app before it got pulled but I have a question.
I love the ability to snap photos with the volume buttons and want to keep it.
In the future when a new iPhone comes out, how will I be able to keep this app and transfer the ability to use the volume snap control to the new phone?
Is there a way?
 
Bought this before it got pulled but the button has never worked for me. Installed SnapTap as suggested and this works well with the iphone's camera app but crashes Camera+ as soon as the snap is taken, and consequently doesn't save it..
Anyone have any idea what's going down here?

iPhone 3G on 3.1.2
 
if you just want to use volume button to snap buy SnapTap from cydia, works on iphone 4

That's what I use too. It was just updated for full iPhone 4 compatibility a few days ago. It worked before that but now it's official.

A nice feature is being able to having the camera's shutter sound turned off but the ringer on your phone on. It's in the SnapTap settings. I don't mind real camera sounds at all but the fake ones bother me. :)

How do you know it will never be available? Do you work in the iPhone engineering team? Many apps that were pulled out of the store returned when Apple made the API public. Apps were removed for explicit content and later returned when Apple had a rating system in place.

Camera+ crew knew this will happen. Don't try to "slip stuff" behind the back of the review team. Don't blame Apple.
 
Consider it temporary piracy if you will...I plan to pay for it when I can. I wrote to the tap tap tap folks and got no response.
 
I have the app and unlocked the easter egg. Pretty cool little "glitch" and not sure why Apple is so against this sort of thing :cool:

Being such a simple and effective idea they're probably just pissed they didn't implement it themselves. :eek: :D
 
still have no luck getting it driving me crazy. I would have bought the app without the Easter egg, but it does make it that much better. since I can't seem to get it. I hope it's back in the store soon. those that got it your lucky. It was pulled about the time I got my I4.

Apple will never let people use the volume controls for anything other than volume controls.
 
Haha I had this app and had no idea of the easter egg.

Now that I've enabled it, I've got a question...

Does it only work when the app is open? I can't just press the volume button from the lockscreen to take a pic right?
 
where are you guys finding it I looking all over for it. I have found 1.2.1 but it crashes every time. some are saying that version isn't crackable :rolleyes: but 1.2 is fine till hopefully it's back in the app store sooner then latter.


Somebody please pm or reply where 1.2 is amd if in installus tell me what your finding under. camera+ or Camera + for me only pulls up Camera Plus which blows!
