I never said I was offended, just that I hope this trend doesnt continue with all of our free apps.

I can totally understand that. I didn't interpret your first comment exactly the way you meant it I don't think.

I agree. I am a developer (not for iPhone) and have been an active $$ contributer and beta tester for several programs including MS. From both sides of the fence it is only right to post that you are going to start charging for your program. i.e. Thanks to all the hard work of our team (if there was a team) and all the feedback we are ready to launch our program commercially. Please feel free to continue to use the beta version for free. However, our comercial release will be $7.00."
I too have been enjoying these aps but knowing that they (most) are beta and are prepairing for their official non beta release. With that said i download the updates to both enjoy the functionality and assist the developers with feedback. What people dont see is that the feedback is important to the developers.. like the flickering problem with this one with regards to some other aps that could have caused it.

Bottom line if this is no longer a beta than yup charge and we all should pay. There is alot of work that goes into play and people should be rewarded appropriatly. What we shouldnt see is a bunch of cursing and wining on both sides of the fence. I am sure that the developers had every intention to letting people know about the charge prior to download and simply forgot. But.... They did write in a functional demo for free...

As for Dripps comment... Please watch who you are calling freeloaders! Alot of people on this site donate and your assumption is ignorant at best. Some people including myself have poured thousands supporting fellow developers through paypal. Perhaps some are upset that their donations didnt get recognized by the developer and now have to pay again... Always two sides to every story and complaint...

Now lets all support these guys and not start a hate frenzie in a place where education and the sharing of such is what we all come here for or at least thats what most of us..

Regards

Dennis

QFT!

I am all about donating and I already have to multiple apps but I will have to hold off on "purchasing" since there is no telling if this will still be functional once Apple starts blessing 3rd party apps.

I have to buy it now and its timed?!?!?! what the f*ck is that?

You can get the full app for free by creating a level pack.
send an email with your phone id and the level pack.

charging for programs for a hacked iphone is just not right in my opinion.

I concur.

Come on guys. Is it really that much to ask for 7 bucks for hours of hard work? Plus, it's just motivation for the Labyrinth devs and other devs to make awesome program.

The full version is actually completely worth it. You can download map packs created by other users, making the replay value very good. Also, the dev is constantly updating it, listening to user feedback, and doing very good work.

it is when they are trying to make money off of something illegal. and it only motovates them to try to charge us for everything. The cool thing about hacked iphones/itouches are that the hacks are free. i dont see apptap trying to charge money for thier hours of hard work.

They are trying to come up off something they shouldn't be coming up off of and i am 100% against paying for 3rd party HACKED apps.

[DaveiPhone]

I think the distinction here is that the developers are MAKING something as opposed to BREAKING INTO something. I agree it would be wrong to charge for methods to hack into the phone. But it's something else entirely, when someone builds (programs) an application or game that augments the capability of the phone (as opposed to removing artificially placed limitations.).

I really don't think this is a case of semantics. True hackers do it for the sport and knowledge of it. Developers usually do it to make a living. I'm not just talking out of my a** here, I do both.

Did you make one? I made one with 5 levels and sent it to him.

[arielv]

to bad we have to pay for it now. But I understand the dev has to make something out of it.

[DaveiPhone]

He's also been extremely responsive in making changes and adding requested features. This is an highly polished and rock solid app... and even if it goes away when the SDK is published (which I doubt), I've already gotten $7 worth of fun and then some out of it.

[5h00p3r_MAN]

And PLUS. The demo levels are pretty much the same as the levels offered on the previous versions.
