An excellent iOS 7 app. The whiners who refuse to upgrade need not attempt a download.

As a 4th-generation iPod touch user, it's not that I refuse to upgrade but that I cannot.

Not that I'm bitter about this being iOS 7 only. Although, I would have checked it out if I could have. It doesn't even really seem like something that needs an application. Couldn't it just be a section of the store?

Just out of curiousity, what were the free apps given away last time? I'm not too interested in the free movies and music.

That's awesome! Finally the company gives back to its customers a little.

Seriously? They release the latest version of OSX for free, iWork and iLife for OSX and iOS for free, have a free app of the week, dropped the price on several products, but you're right, finally they give back to their customers. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
