This app was made by a german 15 year old.

Why is everyone saying "hurry and download it before Apple removes it"? Apple approved it. That's how it got added to the store in the first place.

The reviewers sometimes don't even review apps like they're supposed to. Things do slip through the cracks you know..

As Steve once said, “We're not perfect. We know that, you know that”

Apple also approved the 10k (or whatever it was) diamont app and also a teathering app that apparently worked but dissapeared within in hour. There were a few.

This probably got missed by the bouncers at the door... I'm sure someone at iOS central will notice and it'll soon get removed.

Downloading as I type...

Really ? No wonder then, he could get ban by apple for doing this.
But kudos to him for bringing this app.

Seems very buggy.

Intelligent German kid then.

Because they will soon remove it, I'd bet. As they have done to countless other apps they had approved: Bluetooth On/Off, various tethering apps, most game / platform emulators (iDOS, Gridlee etc.)

You clearly do not understand how Apple operates... Also can you please tell me why Apple would intentionally allow users to disable all iAds, which is a massive stream of revenue for both Apple and developers?

Just because it was originally approved by Apple does not mean that they need to always allow it in the store. They can easily remove it and once it's gone, it's gone.

No thanks.

My thought exactly....

 

[YMark]

This app is junk. Poof.....

 

[Saturn007]

Such silliness...

If those apps bother you that much, just park them all on the final page of your icons--and never go there!

 

[macjonny1]

Thanks macrumors! I have tether from before and now this!

...Joink...

 

[skywalkerr69]

Just downloaded it.

 

[dlewis23]

HOW do these pass the app store "evaluators"? LOL, the title alone is a dead give away.

I think this one was done pretty simple with a "remote" switch, once approved he changes a 0 to a 1 on a server script and hey more features.

So you would consider that solution a "feature" of iOS? Kinda like having to go into System Prefs to disable Wi-Fi?

 

[Sedrick]

Downloaded, but it seems like a real hack job. First two things I tried, it wanted to download additional apps. (one, it said, would fail to install and thus disable all iAds - seems very suspect. There's better things from Cydia)

 

[iPusch]

Am I the only one who actually set up the FieldTest thingy...
I only got cellular connection of -92

 

[baryon]

Or you could just make a junk folder.

Or in my case, Junk1, Junk2, Junk3 etc…

that wont help. then ill be bothered by the little dot (page indicator) instead

 

[charlituna]

I hid all my apps including HiddenApps, now my phone is a desolate, icon free wasteland ...

Until you reboot, power off/one etc. then you start over for scratch
