Friends

Friends is no longer available to download

With iPhone OS 3.0, Apple has decided that any time you try to call a phone number from an application other than the Phone application, you will be asked if you really want to make that call.

This means that whenever you tap a button in Friends, you will see an alert asking you to verify that you want to call the person whose button you just tapped. There is nothing that can be done to prevent this.

There is no way to avoid this alert, and there is nothing that can be done to Friends to prevent it. This is now, unfortunately, the way Friends works, and unless Apple decides to change the way the iPhone supports dialing numbers from other applications, there is no way that this could be changed in the future.

For this reason, it makes little sense to continue to offer Friends on the app store. The added time to tap a verification button means that the selling point of Friends, getting to call your closest friends more quickly, is now moot. There is no point in offering an app that cannot do what it promises.

This page will remain up to support folks who have downloaded and choose to still use Friends, but unless there's a chance to provide a real value to you, the user, there will be no more updates to Friends and it will no longer be available on the app store.

If you purchased Friends before, thank you. It was a joy to make Friends and I'm glad you found it useful, at least for the time that it was available.
