I have just encountered an App that weighs in at 1.7GB.
I bought this before a flight because I thought it would be fun to use on the flight.... it did not load in time.
So before I found out what the problem was... I repetitively saw a excruciatingly slow progress bar. Asked myself if it was not the network, or my new iPad, or something else.
Honestly, what does it take to WARN people that the app is GIGANTIC ? So that the purchase can be made on appropriate infrastructure/timing? Particularly when the application costs approx. $10.
Admittedly there is a file size in the App store info panels, but a large majority load in no time. So something as immense as 1.7Gb should have some form of special warning.
So here I am with iTunes telling me I have to wait 3 hours !!!
Absolute ridiculous
- of Apple not warning of the delay to upload the App
- of the App editor of not warning in the description of the size
