People like you seriously make me ****ing sick. These guys are posting DAILY updates, hired multiple new staff members, pushed out a TWO patches, and also respond to comments made in their blog - all within the span of a week, and while dealing with **** from whiny bitches. Sure, they dropped the ball when they launched the application, but I doubt any amount of preparation between two developers (or maybe only one? Shaun looks like the business end?) would have prepared them for this. In a week they've made incredible progress, and furthermore, they're pushing out constant patches. It's a shame you're having GUI problems, but damn dude, what do you want them to do? They already submitted the patches to fix all of the reported problems, admitted it's their fault, and they CONSTANTLY apologize - do you still find it necessary to bash them over the head?
You're apparently not very patient at all, or even remotely understanding, if you don't see they're doing the best they possibly can given the current situation.
do yourself a favor and look back through their blog..........not too long after the release of the iphone 3g and mobileme. they ripped into apple for being unprepared........basically calling the iphone 3g/mobileme launch one of the worst in history.
Here is the link date 13 July 2008:

and here is a direct quote:
"While I understand everybody’s frustration,
we’re not going to follow Apple’s lead and release something that’s not ready for production. (Sorry Apple, but the iPhone 3G launch might go down as the worst in history. Between the activation problems, the inability to activate corporate accounts, MobileMe crashing every 10 minutes, and the iPhone 2.0 firmware being as buggy as it is, I don’t know which is worse.)"
You can read the posts prior to the launch where they imply apple was holding up the approval of their app (10 July 2008):

"We really have no good excuse for why MobileChat 3 wasn’t on the AppStore today, a lack of planning caused our server setup to not be ready for launch.
While the actual application has been completed for about a week now, the server setup is still sketchy and Apple won’t approve our application until everything is 100% ready to go (although, Facebook seems to of gotten by this one, but that’s very likely because it’s a free application and ours isn’t)"
and then fast forward to the end of july (24 July 2008), where they then say that they submitted their app to apple for approval.

"After a number of calls with ADC, I was able to have our account fixed and we now have access to iTunes Connect. This probably doesn’t mean much to most of you,
but basically what this means is that we have begun the application approval process. "
wait a minute, thought they implied that approval was in apple's hands prior to the app store launch? perhaps they're playing with words as it suits them. in the end however, they have no one else but themselves to blame, but the end result for me, is that they way they've conducted themselves is less than professional and hypocritical.
Karma is a bitch and i can't wait for beejive. until then they need to fix the problems. period.
. Give it at most a month. Hopefully it won't take that long....
