What app?

Did you see if there's a means within the app itself to restore a previous purchase of an ad-free option? I have several apps that I purchased in-app upgrades for options that upon updating the app, one simply restores purchases for those within the app.

He's referring to a cydia tweak that blocks ads from websites and even most apps. It works great. Probably PEBKAC.

Yes merry Christmas... Let's try to cheat developers out of the hard earned money they work for. Sigh.

I wonder if people buying PEBKAC understand what the acronym stands for - Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair.

How is it cheating? It just doesn't show the plethora of obnoxious advertisements that are slung at us in every facet of our consumerist lives.

Isn't that the point of paying to remove said ads?

I thought he was talking about a cydia tweak that removes ads that are supposed to be there.
