I updated to ios 7 and lost itether, which some of you might remember was an app that apple let through for a few hours before they took it down, it was a $15 app that allowed you to tether your iphone to your laptop, but when I updated to ios 7 it vanished and I don't have it on my computer anymore, am I screwed or is there a way to redownload it? Obviously it's not under the purchased section of the app store because it was removed, but I had it and now I don't even though I paid for it. Is there a way to get it back? Could I possibly copy the app from my friends computer who also bought it when it was available and then put that on my comp and since I bought it already it would know it wasn't a cracked version and allow an install or am I just screwed?


Edit for new info: I have an icloud back up that I did in march 2013 that would have it, but I can't restore from that back up (assumedly because I'm on ios 7 and the backup was probably on 6.1)

Unless you saved to icloud, you are probably screwed. it probably wouldn't work with ios 7 anyway.
 
if my friend still has it on his computer could I download it to my phone from his then transfer it over to my itunes? or just copy the .ipa file onto a flash drive and then put that on my computer?

double post for bump/new info, I have an icloud back up from marsh 2013 which would have it, but I can't restore from that back up for whatever reason (probably because I'm on ios7 and the restore would be to ios 6.1 or something)
