- May be the sound of my money going down the drain! Should have listened to the little voice in my head that said don't pay for an unfinished app when I did it! Lesson learned for sure. Now, will I get lucky and get the app I paid for?

- +1. Maybe next time my inner voice will reach out and smack me in the side of the head. I feel so let down with the Playbook, RIM, Aiflex. Good thing iOS 5 is coming, something to look forward to!06-06-11 04:05 PMLike 0
- Occurred to me several days ago......and does not take the registration info provided by the developer.....stomach feeling worse by the minute.

- Disputing over 3 bucks is more of a pain in the **** than what its worth.. Its the principal. These guys responded before and honestly if they responded with anything it would be fine. Instead they just simply disappear. I would rather an "update still in the works...etc .etc" then complete silence. smh06-06-11 09:31 PMLike 0

- Its official. I have been screwed out of 3 bucks. Now I just get the purchase option and no way around it. Thanks a lot aMail.06-07-11 12:45 AMLike 0
- And minutes late, I get a new registration key. I replied to the dev with this message, "Thanks. I'm closing the Paypal dispute claim I just opened. You really should come back to the forums and communicate with us. We want to support you but can't if you just disappear."06-07-11 08:35 AMLike 0

- So with the new reg key does it change anything or was just so you could re-install ? BTW I PMd aIFLEX two weeks ago when he first release AMAIL. He never replied. Funny way for a guy who wants our business to treat his customers? You would think he would be making a better, read MORE RELIABLE effort.06-07-11 10:56 AMLike 0
- I kinda thought that for our $3 we would have got a more funtional version of the amail app. You're right - a couple weeks it wont really matter. AiFelx kinda blew it IMO. They had a real shot at a nice grassroots base that could've been lucrative to them....06-07-11 11:52 AMLike 0
- Aiflex did certainly stick its head out and try and use Crackberry.com to boost its name recognition and gain attention for a few of its products. They, at times, seem to be among the better, more responsive developers out there, but sometimes it does take them time to respond. The jury is still out on the ultimate value of their products. They remain promising, but like almost everyone else, Aiflex appears to have been bitten by the lag in time it takes to get Playbook apps modified. At first it seemed as if it were solely an App World problem, but now Aiflex has fallen behind its schedule on even the .bar version of the app, which can't be blamed on App World. So the promised weekend update is still pending, and Aiflex hasn't been up to its prior standards of responsiveness. One logical conclusion would be that the update is taking more time than they anticipated and drawing off more of their presumably finite resources, and that condition is also causing the degration of customer inquiry responsiveness. I paid the .bar beta fee almost as a bet on Aiflex, and as a gesture of support for a company that tried to release a product a month ago, but still hadn't gotten it to market, which had to have hurt their bottom line. I still like the bet, even if it hasn't paid off yet. This initial launch period is tough on developers, too, and I'm willing to give them a break and the benefit of the doubt.mscooley likes this.06-07-11 01:25 PMLike 1
- As did I and I would also give them the benefit of doubt BUT they show a tremendous lack of professionalism by comunicating poorly with their customers. All of us on the Crackberry forums for example. The # 1 cornerstone of good business relations, how you build trust, get peole to respect your brand , products etc. is to 'talk' to your customer base - especially when you make then break a delivery promise. At the least let them know that it is taking more time than expected and so on. Is it better to do that , get a litle sympatico from the potential buyers, those waiting on an update or to basically ignore them by doing a disappearing act ??mscooley likes this.06-07-11 02:46 PMLike 1
- Funny I disputed as well and got my new code. Why does it have to go to this? Matter of fact I received 2 emails with 2 new codes. SMH
UPDATE: I just closed the dispute. Hope this app is perfected soon or at least promised updates are available soon.Last edited by neoflasher; 06-07-11 at 07:30 PM.
