TwiterFon – Upgrade to TwitterFon 1.5.2.ipa – Fail – TwitterFon Pwnd

I upgraded my iPhone to 3.0 – Yay Apple – once again you show the love to us gen-1 owners! I figured that I would upgrade my other apps to get a horizontal keyboard.
I love TwitterFon – it is my favorite iPhone app. So I wanted a horizontal keyboard – there was an upgrade to version 1.5.2 – that mentioned “tested on 3.0” – what a LAME release note. Reminds me of Y2K – “We cannot assure you that our previous product that you currently own is Y2K compliant – but our new products are Y2K compliant – hey dude the product is a blender – it does not even have a clock in it!” (end of Y2K rant).
So I upgraded from my current version to TwitterFon 1.5.2 – it now gave me ads! Yay – I can tolerate ads if I get a horizontal keyboard! But NOOOO – no horizontal keyboard. Now I am ticked off so I search Google for:
downgrading an iphone application
And find this page:

I did it and it worked – just don’t empty Trash right away and you have a safety net!
YAYAYAYA – Downgraded my TwitterFon.
