GV Mobile is getting pulled from App Store
July 27th, 2009
Richard Chipman from Apple just called – he told me they’re removing GV Mobile from the App Store due to it duplicating features that the iPhone comes with (Dialer, SMS, etc). He didn’t actually specify which features, although I assume the whole app in general. He wouldn’t send a confirmation email either – too scared I would post it.
I’ll see what I can do to get it back up there gang…
@Ryan
tcha tcha… I pity you…
Google Mobile Voice? That’s not an app for that! | L’Indipendente
hey there.. my name cory,,, i just got my email invite and setup my account today…but theres no app on the iphone anymore as of the today 7/31/09 at 10:30pm.. it would great if u could get back to me on some info on it and tell me what to do..i already got number i just need the app..try your best to get it back
Have you thought of resorting to creating an app that has the functionality hidden, but could be unlocked via secret gesture combination? Just a thought.
@Scott
That wouldn’t work. in order for people to use it, he would have to tell them how, which would result in apple finding out and pulling it again.
If it’s important enough to you, Jailbreak and install it from there.
@Ryan
You’re an idiot.
I have the app from back when it was “legally” in the app store, but lately it keep giving me a login error. Could Apple somehow have disabled it? If so, I’m going to be pretty upset since I actually paid for it. If Apple has disabled it, they’d better give me a refund.
@Parker
Same thing happened to me. Any new word on this?
Same thing here. Noticed it yesterday. I kept 3.0 and it has worked until recently. Any fix?
Same thing happened to me and a friend who both had since it was “legal” and we both paid for it as well, any other news on it?
Same thing for me. I legally bought this App and now I’m getting login errors. Interested in any new word on this or how to fix it. Although I like the idea of jailbreaking the iPhone, I guess it screws up warranty and Apple support. I hate this policy as seem to have to live with it. Any ideas on how to fix the GV App login problem?
Me too. Just like everyone else, iPhone 3Gs locked down and legit purchase. I was using this for my business and now I have to go back to logging onto the website. Can anything be done?
For all those with problems. Jailbreak your iPhone. Be sure you have the latest 3.1.2 firmware installed. Search for Black Rain and watch a you tube demo. It takes 2 minutes. Then download GV Mobile from Cydia and donate to Sean.
Yes, I purchased GV Mobile on the App Store legit but a JailBreak is your only option now that Google required login changes to be made.
Really, it is really simple.
I also bought paid good money for the app long ago. Nothing I could do when it was pulled but I want to know what happened recently that now tells me my login is not correct when I am positive it is?
Apple, you got my money as a percentage of the sale. if you pull an app that you approved you then owe me and anyone who paid for it a refund. Class action? I know it is only a small amount but it is Bullshit that Apple approved it collected their money then decided to take it back and never even considered a refund option.
Oh by the way Apple, that is why I use Blackberry now you Asswipes. Sorry Sean, you can keep my money. You deserve the money for the work you did.
Why did Google change the logon? It’s one thing for Apple to pull the app, but for those of us who legally bought it, before Apple slit it’s throat, we could still use it. So, why did Google feel the need to add insult to (Apple’s) injury?
Here’s a great set up. I love this one, I think you will too:
you need 4 things:
1) jailbroken iPhone (blackra1n does it in like 30 sec.)
2) Cydia source (hackulo.us) and install “Installous”
3) Internet/Data connection
4) the peace of mind knowing all your apps are free now. Apple sucks with how they run the iPhone. Let’s stop buying!!
I just found out my “notifications” application is going to make me PAY for updates, after I already paid $3 for the app already. I’m done with apple’s policies and insider developers
This is not nice.Apple rejected Google’s official Google Voice app from the App Store too. What is Apple thinking?!
Hilarious.Great scene reference!
