NDrive - Gone from App Store and...

quintron

Reports that apple is using an iOS "kill switch" to wipe the app directly from peoples iDevices and iTunes accounts?

NDrive, a cheap (and actually quite good) GPS mapping app, has been removed from various app stores around the world in recent weeks.

Anyone here have had this happen to them?
Its one thing to remove it from the app-store,.. many reasons for that obviously, but deleting it directly from peoples iPhones and iTunes accounts as reports suggest? OTT..
Just curious.. Lots of confusion about it on ze web right now re: refunds etc.
Think before you sync I suppose...!

Lmao_Man

Happy someone brought this up:)

I bought Ndrive a few months ago when I had the 3G,now have the iPhone 4 and still have NDrive working perfectly (what a great app for 5.99 )

About to read that link you gave now in a min.

I'm on 4.0.1 by the way.

Does anyone know why it was removed ?

All I'll say is : If Apple delete it from my iPhone(which I've paid for) I will end up getting a sat nav type app without paying for it - I know some people mightn't agree with that,but if apple remove it and don't give me what I paid I won't be too happy (lucky I got it on sale for 5.99 and not whatever it was before)

Apple didn't remove it form the app store, the devs of NDrive did (don't know exactly why)

It is still in my apps.

I think Apple removed it dude, based on what I've read. Where did you read NDrive pulled it themselves?

Your link says nothing about Apple pulling it.

NDrive support have explained this as follows:

"Unfortunately due to a technical error with our applications on Appstore [sic] you currently cannot purchase the NDrive software. We are resolving the situation with Apple so we ask you to wait a few more days."

Okaaaaayyy... ? Well, I don't know if you read all of the pages in the forum I linked to (I'm guessing not), or indeed, if you googled the issue yourself for some additional reading on the subject.
So...
Again, where is your bleedin' link for simple plain english proof where it says specifically "NDrive DEV's pulled it" from your oh so assured & confident earlier comment? You'd swear you worked for them? Otherwise, your'e talking thru your arse.
At least I have provided a link.
I'm glad its still in your apps though. Its still in my apps too. But thats not really the bigger picture though, is it?
Sheesh.
