The Multiplex iPhone app has returned to the iOS App Store.
It has been updated to version 1.1, for iOS 5.1 compatibility (the 5.1 update caused the app to crash on launch) and, as a bonus, it is now ad-free. It’s a free update for existing users, of course, but because of the whole no-ads thing 99¢ to newbs. Truth be told, my brother (the programmer) and I have been taking a bath on the “free” app because of the annual dev program fee and the cost of keeping his coding software up to date. The 99¢ cost will hopefully balance that out more than the miniscule $40 per year we earned from iAds revenue.
Damn. I got excited until I got to the app store and saw it wasn’t a universal binary. Still, I hope the app works well for you.
Sorry! It is JUST an iPhone app at the moment. We are planning an iPad/universal binary update down the road, though. (I’ll keep you guys updated, of course.)
I won’t bore you with the technical details, but we’ve got a bit of prep work to do before we can do an iPad version that makes it worth doing — that is, to make it BETTER than the website. Because if it’s not better than the website, why do it?
