commented on a projectTo answer another common question: The app is a Universal app, so it should work on your iPhone and iPad and you don't have to pay for it again. Just download it on both devices and you should be good to go! As always, let me know if you have any problems! adam@darkskyapp.com

commented on a projectFolks who haven't gotten the link to download the app: A couple things: 1) The email should have come from the iTunes Store, not our own email. A few other people had missed it because they were expecting an email from us. 2) Did you check your spam folder and archives? If you still can't find it, send me an email: adam@darkskyapp.com Sorry about the problem! -Adam

Posted project update #8Dark Sky is Go!
Hello backers!
Thanks to you all, we did it! Dark Sky is available in the iTunes App Store right now:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dark-sky/id517329357?ls=1&mt=8
Each of you should have already received an email with a link to download the app; if you haven't, please contact us and we'll get it sorted out. We've already received some early bug reports, and we have an update pending Apple's approval right now to resolve most, if not all, of the issues.
As for the other reward tiers, we apologize for being behind! There was a problem getting some of the t-shirts printed, but that's being resolved now and we'll have everything in the mail as quickly as we can.
So, this phase of Dark Sky will be drawing to a close very soon, but it's not the end of the road: we have a lot we'd like to continue to do with Dark Sky, not the least of which will be adding support for additional regions. If you want to stay up to date on our progress, be sure to follow us on Twitter, if you're not already:
Once again, we can't express our thanks enough to you, since without your support this app never would have gotten this far. We love each and every one of you.
-- Jack, Adam, and Jay

commented on a projectCraig: The front-facing camera thing is dumb, right? Here's the deal: The app is doing a lot of number-crunching on the device itself -- the future radar is all calculated on the fly. Because of that, it only works on newer iPhones (the iPhone 4 and 4S) and newer iPads (the iPad 2 and 3). But there's no way to restrict the app to only those devices from within the App Store (and if we didn't, lots of people would buy the app not knowing it won't work). All you can do is restrict by specific features like gyroscope or cellular service or front-facing camera. As it turns out, the front facing camera is the only thing that the devices mentioned above have in common.

commented on a projectMark: because it only works in the US, we've restricted it to the US store (otherwise we'll get a load of people buying the app without reading the fine print and then not being able to use it). How about this for all our non-US backers: Why not give your redeem code to a buddy in the US as a gift (because you're awesome). And then when we add coverage for Canada, we'll get you a second copy of the app free-of-charge?

Hi,
I'm a french backer and unfortunately the iTunes redeem code is only valid for the US. Can you fix that fast? We are having a lot of rain showers and hailstorms at the moment in Paris. It seems to be a good time to evaluate your promising work.
Cheers.
Hi,
I am from Sweden and unfortunately the iTunes redeem code is only valid for the US. Need a "quick fix" on that.
Had not received the code. Was searching the Kickstarter page and found the statement re: contact about this. I recently received the T-shirt, but when I reviewed my e-mails before and since the "Survey" [Survey sent: 02/23/12 • "Your response">"Submitted: on February 23"]. I would appreciate knowing how to go about obtaining my "Dark Sky" app.
