[QUOTE=asdfghjkl';29979899]You want the app for a portable device, it's kinda implied.
Besides, you don't have anything better you could do when bored?
If so, then it's worth the five dollars to you.[/QUOTE]
Why is it worth the $5 if I can use safari and do the EXACT same thing without paying?

Why waste time complaining if there are free alternatives?
[QUOTE=Dalto11;29979878]It's not the Hexxeh is a celebrity, I couldn't give two shits if it was random member that made it. If I see some put the time and effort into something, I have no issue paying for it. Sure 5 bucks is a bit steep, but he's got to make a bit of the money. The argument you're making can be placed against Angry Birds (mind you I know you can't play it on iOS any other way) as well, I can play it for free on Chrome, or any android device. But I bought it for my iPhone because it's fun and I enjoy it.[/QUOTE]
No, it can't really be applied to Angry Birds, it would only be applied to Angry Birds if the free app was on the same platform as the paid app.

If you don't want to buy it, you don't have to. The difference is that in Safari it is not meant for mobile devices. This app will make browsing faster and use less data.
I'd really like to see this available on Android. If so, you'd have my money. Please reconsider expanding this to include the myriad of android-powered devices.

Why support a paid app if there are free alternatives? To support somebody who needs money? They didn't make something new, they took something that was there, re-made it, and charged for it.
Should we pay for rockmelt too? The guy spent his time making that, didn't he?

I think there would be licensing issues with that

I would support it for being easier to use and looking nicer.
Can't wait. Even though I only have an ipod touch..but still.

So you'd pay for it because he took something somebody else made for free, made it look pretty, and charged for it?
You continue to act as if Facepunch is great on safari. It's not. If I was forced to hse mobile safari for the rest of my Facepunch career, I would likely stop visiting. It isn't worth it. This app, however, fixes every complaint I have about mobile safari.

It isn't great, but that doesn't make this worth paying for. It's still just a modified copy of something that's free. IE: Rockmelt

You ignored where I said it works better as well.
Five dollars isn't really something you have to think about spending every once in a while anyways.
and this rockmelt thing is pretty sweet
[QUOTE=GameDev;29978725]Stop complaining, he's worked on it for 9 months.[/QUOTE]
sorry, this is most certainly not 9 months work.

Sorry, made it look pretty and made a few changes. He still took something that was free and is charging for it.
Yeah, Rockmelt is cool, but guess what? It's pretty much a carbon copy of chrome. That doesn't make it bad, but you sure as hell wouldn't pay for it.
[QUOTE=deloc;29980270]sorry, this is most certainly not 9 months work.[/QUOTE]
It is. He has been working on it for 9 months.

Somebody makes a game. That game is free. When you play this game, you get 10 fps. Someone releases a fix that he spent 9 months on to allow you to play the game at 30 fps. He charges a small amount of money for it. You complain.

You're being an idiot and ignoring what we are saying. The functionality is greatly improved.
[QUOTE=AntoniD;29980276]It is. He has been working on it for 9 months.[/QUOTE]
Which is further reason that this shouldn't be $5. For 9 months this is pretty sad

maybe 2 weeks worth of actual work over a span of 9 months.

Because your points make no sense. You think that all this work is easy that Hexxeh did? How about you make an app then, I doubt you could. All you are doing is complaining and saying that you have apparently used an old beta version of the app which was terrible as you say.

I don't really feel like wasting my time to argue something that is opinionated.
More like you can't actually formulate an argument

Although I agree that $5 is quite a bit, I will still pay for it because I support FP and Hexxeh. If you don't want to, you don't have to.
by the looks of the poll he's going to make a lot of money
so profit I guess

What is there to formulate? It's either "I like this" or "I don't".
