Knfb Reader missing from US app store?

This is really strange. I can no longer find the Knfb Reader app listed in the US app store. A search on my iPod touch 5G turns up nothing, and iTunes from my computer actually says the app is currently not available.

Anyone know what's going on?

There were some unexpected problems in the 2.0 release which meant that the ‘Try Before You Buy’ facility to be introduced in this update did not work. As a result, it was briefly listed as free with an in-app purchase, then reverted back to the previous US$99.99 price. One person reported paying full price and still being prompted to buy the in-app purchase.

So, our best guess is that the developer has decided that simply removing the app from the App Store is the best option until these problems are resolved.

They have mentioned previously on Twitter that a 2.1 release is already on the way with a fix, so hopefully it will be back in the App Store soon.

I hope they worked out that try before feature. $99 is a WHOLE lot of money for me to spend, not just on an app but on anything at all. I'd love the option even for a small trial before I shell out those bucks. So, guess I'll be temporarily saving a bit of money till they get it fixed.
