Hello Janice,

Just to be clear, it is the Devicescape Easy WiFi app that was withdrawn; the EyeFi app is still available to the best of my knowledge.

Rgds,
John…

@Henk Kleynhans: The issue is that the user needs to select the WiFi network manually, at least once. That works when you have a small number of SSIDs, or you have a user who is motivated to make the connection for another reason (e.g. to use Skype). Devicescape’s network is too diverse now to make it work well when users have to connect manually, and remember to launch an app to authenticate each time the phone connects. Unless that can be automated, the experience becomes frustrating (we know, we’ve all experienced it here).

@Jon Prall: Not really “bitter, lame, dejected and feeling sorry” for ourselves at all. We have determined that with the current APIs available from Apple we cannot provide the user experience that we would like to provide for this application. For a while we were able to make it work, but as our network grew to incorporate literally millions of access points around the world, there was no easy way to make that work for iOS users who still need to manually select the network they want to use at least once.

Hopefully, one day, Apple will provide the WiFi APIs that we’ve been asking for (and filing the rdar requests for), and at that point we’ll be able to return to the iOS platform and provide the same, or better, user experience that our Android (and now Blackberry) users have.

Surely if Skype Wi-Fi works on iOS, Devicescape can too?

Yuor easywifi.com site still has instructions to try searching the App Store, launching iTunes, which offers a $2.99 app to purchase called “Easy Wi-Fi for Trustive”. Reports are that one the app is loaded, there is no connectivity and no support, except for this press release about withdrawn IOS apps.

Ditto for the Android app, which isn’t in the market, but can be found on your site with Google for sideloading.

Please put an explanation right up front on your website. Add sticky posts to the top of your forums on the topic.

If Easy Wifi is being abandoned, please try to go out with some grace.

“Apple is very relevant…” is quite an understatement.

Hi,

I am impressed and dissapointed with how bitter, lame, dejected, and feeling sorry for yourself you are.

Company = fail.
