Hi Keith, I somehow doubt that the KNFB Reader app won't see regular updates. You have to keep in mind that of course it would not have been updated in years for the Symbean platform since Symbean has been gone for some years now. This would be like asking Freedom Scientific to continue to provide updates for Jaws for Windows 98 or something like that. One should also keep in mind that prior to Apple and the App Store there really were no app stores per say. Yes, there were apps for Symbean or Windows Mobile, but there wasn't an app store in that sense and while I am not a developer I would hazard a guess and say that it's probably easier to update iOS apps than it was to update applications for these older platforms.

Well, that gives me pause about this app. I don't think there's one app I rely upon for regular use that hasn't undergone regular upgrades, as newer devices are introduced and newer versions of iOS are released. I'm hesitant to consider investing $99 in what might be a "one and done" app whose developer isn't inclined towards maintaining cutting edge functionality with the latest hardware and/or software developments.

Was it "one and done" or did it undergo continuing development? Thanks.

I also read my XM radio screen at times. Sometimes you get a lot of junk with the scan but usually I could get enough information to tell me what I needed to do.

He was really thrilled with his purchase and thought it was great value. He has been using it for the past five years and it's been working flawlessly! The results of the OCR have to be seen to be believed! I was shocked to hear that this app now sells for $99!! It's a steal! It's an outstanding application! Comparing it with other available OCR apps is like comparing chalk with cheese. >>> >>> >> -- >> websites: >> http://www.solavei.com/hanksmith >> http://qoinpro.com/5f674bfbfc97bbb1f3216db274fb72f8 >> >> -- >> The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
