Request: Although this app is free, it has a very annoying check that check if the iDevice is jailbroken, and shows a popup saying that jailbroken devices are not supported and then exits the app.
Is there someone who can help remove this check?

Can someone just tell me if it is crackable or if this request of mine is not valid?

Since this is a free app, I would have thought someone could have downloaded it and check for the check if the phone has been jailbroken and remove it, so that I can get it to work on my jailbroken phone.

Your request is perfectly fine. Ill check the app for you and report back.

I Hate It When Apps Do This, But I Suppose If They Want To Secure Their App More It Makes Sence, But Then They Are Also Limiting The Amount Of People Who Will Use Their App, Think How Many People Jailbreak.

It seems to be checking their server every time you connect and I don't think you can block it :/ This app seems like a piece of shot anyways based off of the reviews.

[bloumoord]

Isn't there an app that can pretend or fake a non-jailbroken state, almost like the apps faking wifi states on 3G to allow apps like Facetime over 3G?

I'm disappointed to hear the check is doing more than just checking locally for a jailbroken state. How is it that it checks with a server? What is the url or IP? Can't a hosts file be used to tweak this check?

[GodXZY]

Oh wait, it's not connecting to their server, it was another app that was doing that (stupid me).

It's got some gay coding and I can't help you with it. :/

It probably checks for Cydia.app or something.
I'd take a look but I'm busy atm. :/

[bloumoord]

Please! I'd be very happy if anyone can help me with this.

Take your time, just let me know when you can take a look, or if you start with it?
