I cant remember for sure, but I think that I have paid two times now for MyWi at this point, the original fee and one upgrade. I wont be getting that again, it doesnt even hide my usage anyway.
I stop paying them a couple of JBs ago. Ever since ppl were still getting detected and kicked off of their unlimited plans.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone Intelliscreen X ios 6

As has been stated multiple times by many people in this thread, everyone has ALREADY paid for this app. A 50% "upgrade fee" for people who already bought this app is piracy of our funds by Intelliborn.
So I pay $10, use it for 2 months and when I upgraded to the 5 that made it useless and I have to pay $5 to use it now. Whoever does this is gullible it's not even that good of a tweak. Someone hurry up and crack it to show them we aren't gonna be nickle and dimed. Making the jailbreak was way harder than just rewriting some code to make it compatible and they didn't charge a dime.
Okay, so I bought IntelliscreenX like 3 or 4 months ago, specially to use it on my iPhone 5 once i got one. I used IntelliscreenX, for like, one week, 'cause my Touch 4g got really laggy with it. And now, when I finally think I'll actually be able to use the tweak I bought, I find out it was 10 wasted dollars. I'm sorry, I know they work hard to update these tweaks for a new firmware version, but this situation is ridiculous. I'm going with Lockinfo.
I bought it back in October. I have only had it for 4 months and now I have to pay again?
I would have no problem paying the extra $5 if they added a bunch of new features. From what I understand this is the exact same software only it works on iOS 6.

I just wish they would release the top shelf widget for like a dollar as its own notification center widget. That is the ONLY thing I used ISX for so I could put weather or appcenter in the top shelf. And sorry, but don't think it's worth $5.
However, I would gladly pay $1 or $2 for it I they ever released it as its own standalone addon in the future!

You aren't even on the same image as the point.
1. Whether the upgrade charge is fair or not is irrelevant because
2. Companies charge what people will pay for their product, service or upgrade.
3. Some companies charge separately for upgrades, some don't.
4. Complaining about it on a discussion forum accomplishes nothing.
Take off the diaper, put on your big boy pants, reread Point 2 and deal with it.
if enough people switch products and don't buy the upgrade, Intelliborn will get the message. In other words, actually do something other than complaining.
I understand the feeling, but this is really not just like upgrading a regular app for a new OS version. They're not just upgrading to account for documented changes to high-level APIs, but making low-level changes to undocumented system software. It's like creating a whole new program except that they get to reuse the GUI. And we're not talking trivial changes, here; Apple has completely rewritten SB in iOS 6 (it's now actually two separate processes). It may look the same to us as end-users, but the back end is completely different and ISX has to be completely rewritten to account for that.
Saurik (who is no fan of Intelliborn at all) had a lengthy series of posts about this on Reddit. His main point is that iOS 6 compatibility in a case like this should be considered a feature -- and a major one at that -- because it requires far more work than any typical feature. I tend to agree with him.

I'm going to complain about it just a tad because I am one of few who prefers ISX over Lockinfo....
I'm going to pay the $5... but there should've been smething implemented saying "if you purchased the ios5 version, you get the ios6 version for free or something.
I get the idea of charging for ios updates, but not EVERY update should require me spending my money. It's only a burger price tag in my eyes either way, but I can find better ways of spending my money then buy something I already have

These are what I prefer as well.
On another note why is the alternative for alot of folks to try and "steal" the app. If you do not want to pay for the upgraded app then don't, just use something else.
I too prefer ISX over LI. I contacted Intelliborn and voiced my displeasure with their ISX upgrade strategy. It's their right to do it of course, I just don't agree with it. I'm going to try LI one more time and see if I can live with it before dropping $$$ on ISX 6.
Don't know if anyone has answered this but are there any new features that would make paying for the upgrade fee worth it?
From what I read on intelliborns twitter, a nights work doesn't constitute a major update worth $5.

There are NO new features. All it is is a compatibility fix. So you're paying to use something you've bought once.
I understand that. But Intelliborn should have warned customers before buying that they'd have to pay an update fee for iOS 6, after all, they probably knew they'd charge that by the time the 6.0 betas came out.
Also, it is not fair for people who bought it less than 6 months ago, because it is a very expensive tweak, and they barely even got to use it before having to pay again.
They get upgrade pricing like everyone else. And they can continue to use ISX on 5.x as long as they want...nobody is forcing them to upgrade and there aren't really even that many features in iOS 6 to recommend it.
They could not know the work it would take to make it iOS 6 compatible. If it were less work it wold have been free.
What do you mean barely got to use it? Most games I've bought cost 5 times and is completed in under a week. And have no use other than recreational usage. While this is practical and you your self said 6 months.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
Intelliborn needs to rename his products to something more along the lines of "Intelliscreen for iOS5" so people know its for that OS only. It makes the subscription model more clear.
It is not a subscription model, it is a pay for this and the succeeding small updates, and pay separately for the enormous updates. Just because you cant see the work they put into the newest update, does not mean you should be ignorant.
Just because you believe something does not make it true.
ALSO I agree with the person you disagree with, intelliborn owns intelliscreen x, they can charge what they want. It is not their fault it stopped working at iOS6.
Thanks for the laugh. You claim I have no idea what I'm talking about, when the issue is you don't understand what I wrote, and you think Intelliborn uses a subscription model for Intelliscreen.
