  • I would think this belongs in the off topic forum

  • Why would it be off-topic when it is about Glitch and playing the game?

  • Why? It's directly related to Glitch.

    That said, I would totally download and review it, except I'm not willing to pay $.99 for something I can do just as easily on my phone without a special app.

    Edit: Come to think, is it legal/within the rules to make money off this?

  • @ Casombra Amberrose - I did think about Off Topic and had a look in there but I thought it was too on topic for that forum. 

    @ Shiromisa Kaya - I've designed the interface to work better and faster at creating auctions than it is when you are using your mobile browser, for me it is a companion app so that I can create auctions without switching tabs in my browser. It's fair enough that you don't think it's worth $.99 but that was the lowest price I could put it at. I did think about putting it up for free but I ended up spending about 160 hours working on this, so it's worth something to me :)

  • The ToS does say that you need express written permission from Tiny Speck to charge for an API app:

    "Finally, you will not use the Licensee Application for commercial purposes (for example, you receive payment for the Licensee Application or you receive revenue through advertising) without our express, prior written consent."

    (If you already have permission, disregard this message)

  • It's not that I don't think it's worth it, it just rubs me the wrong way that it's a paid app at all. I'd feel much better if it went the Glitch Academy route and was free, but with a place to donate if desired.

  • I think it is awesome!  I don't use apps nor do I have an iphone, well, I don't have a phone at all.  But I still think making something, especially for the first time, is worth a hearty congratulations!  Good work and I hope your next app takes less time!

    I was going to say that if it is against the rules, TS will let you know and you can work things out from there.  But...

    Thanks to Varaeth for looking up the rules.  Now that you know, you can always contact TS to see what next steps need to be taken to make things work out.

    I'm sure a lot of glitchen will enjoy your app.

  • I searched it on the itunes store but it said it couldn't find anything.

  • I was just searching for something like this a few days ago! Thank you for all the hard work you put into it. The link does not work for me currently, but I am eager to try it.
