It’s not free!?
When i search it in app store on my iPhone, it shows “FREE”, but when I click on it to install, shows $4.99!
Same here… Free in the Search Results list, but 4.99 on the app’s page
Could have expired already since it was technically a UK offer.
Even if it’s expired, search results page and app details page should show the same info. In this case, search results says Free while app details says differently (i.e. 4.99).
It’s $4.99, NOT free in Canada. Might want to update this post.
7:30 a.m. PST January 2nd NOT Free in Canada
I managed to grab it late last night when it was free
Pretty awesome app. Can’t wait to use it more often!
