I just saw it on the app store. It's available for .99. Check it out.

Here's the link, but I don't think its official.

I know that it is only $0.99, but it is $0.99.

It doesn't look official to me. My opinion is unless it's made by arn and free, it isn't the official app.

Would that even be legal? I guess macrumors should contact the dev. I haven't bought it yet and won't until I hear an official announcment on the front page.

According to the one 1 star review on the US store, it doesn't even allow the ability to read full articles within the app; just provides a teaser summary and offers a link to the full article in Safari. Definitely not official.

Id imagine arn would make it front page material if it were real.

Thanks for the info. I saw the App a while ago but was afraid to buy it for reasons you guys are mentioning... 😉

I am soooo glad I read the rest of this thread! I almost went straight to iTunes and bought it just by seeing the heading alone.

Even though it was only 99 cents I do not want to support someone who steals from others by making fake apps.

Agreed. The part that I didn't like was that the logo was taken from here (without permission, I am assuming). Same with the name. Nowhere does it state that it is an unofficial app, as well. I really hope not too many people got conned into buying the app. Perhaps they can get refunds, if they did.

I just saw it on the App Store here here in the UK, thought it would have been Front page news here, so I didn't buy.
Glad I didn't! I don't want to support a guy like that. I'll wait for the official one 🙂
Also saw... the same guy who made it on the App Store made a Gizmodo one...
