Hopefully the new app you are working on will be available to those of us who purchased the pro version. I enjoyed how handy it was, eventhough it seemed to have some bugs. I do miss it. Look forward to the update and getting my monies worth on the original app! Should I delete the shortcut on my phone for now?

Glad to hear that! Is it going to be official (AppStore) or with it require a jailbroken phone?

Yeah, I noticed that since the upgrade it doesn’t work anymore also. I miss it already. I wish Redbox would allow you to use that app, it only helps them out. Even if the codes weren’t apart of it.

The ‘pro’ version of the app no longer works since the Redbox change. Is there an update that those of us who purchased the orginal version can get?

I bet Redbox is working on their own App and doesn’t want anyone stealing their thunder so to speak.

Any word on how the discussions with Redbox are coming? Is the app still working? My Pro version stopped giving me promo codes today? :(

To be honest with you, I heard somewhere that Redbox is looking into making an actual app for the iphones… More versatile and more user friendly.. and I am sure they would prefer that their customers had accurate information straight from the company, not from a third person party that may not have all the correct details. I don’t thing they are trying to be stingy or anything in taking the glory from someone else.

Put yourself in their shoes…If you had a successful company and someone created an application on the iphone(or anywhere else) of your company(and specific features of it that may not be 100% accurate) and they are not associated with your company and did not have permission (because they did not ask for it or were not granted it) would you not be a little upset as well? Wouldn’t you prefer the application come directly from your own company so that it could provide your customers with the appropriate information?
