C'mon guys, we're talking about a $10 app here, that was working at the
time it was bought. A $2 app probably doesn't use as many and as
complicated functions as iPeng does and probably many apps didn't need
to be changed again in order to work under iOs4. Most of those
developers probably have just send the file to Apple again, just for
the iOs4-approved badge. In iPeng a lot of functions are being used,
one of them was bound to stop working. 

Comparing it to a $80+ app isn't fair either, as those guys probably
have a 10+ development team. 

I'm not saying an update fixing the issue should not have been released
by now. But in all fairness, the alarm setting function isn't it's main
feature, most users probably use iPeng for what it was designed: as a
controller for your music collection. 

>From what I've seen from an email I send Pippin in the past and in his
replies on forum boards, he is very serious about providing proper
support. If you have a look at this topic, 90% of the questions could
easily have been found by using the search function. In many cases it
is Pippin who is providing answers. Seems he is a bit of a
perfectionist, which isn't nice when you're waiting for a new release,
but at the same time iPeng probably wouldn't have been designed to the
level it is already. Other apps simply need more updates as they aren't
being tested as much and have more anoying bugs during everyday use.
With that I'm not saying iPeng is bug-free (a simple look at the bug
tracker will show this is not true), but in everyday use you probably
won't find as many things that are off in comparison to many other
applications with this level of complexity. 

In 80 apps I bought the past 2 years, I probably removed 70 of them
after a few weeks and only 3 of the remainder I use every day, one of
them being iPeng. Not only because it's very useful, but also because
it works like a charm. Even my girlfriend uses it without compaints,
which does account for something.

That said, I understand your frustration about the $10 price and the
lack of updates, as it's a heck of a lot for a app that sets your
alarm. ;)
