It is odd and frustrating the delay. I think it was on Twitter last week they mentioned a difficulty with a 3rd party, I wonder if 3 are putting a spanner in the works?

Don't be putting a hex on this now!

Indeed, though I fear this thread I started last week may have already done the job!!

An update from their twitter feed this morning:

"Update on Ireland. We're working on it. We've been let down by a third party and that has stalled the release. further updates today"

culabula

I changed the thread title as it was no longer relevant.

I regret to tell you that it won't be coming out for several weeks.

I delight in telling you that I have it. (sorry! No, am not!)

Hopefully they'll just realease on the Irish app store as is and we can use it.

I've been using it since yesterday (got it on the US app store) and have been using it with 3pay (even though it says pre-pay is not supported yet on 3 Ire, I just set my account as post paid and it works perfect).

Super simple to use and setup. Love it!

Lads,

Cheers

You need to go to the US store and create and account. Use the address of the hotel you're staying at. Choose 'no credit card' as payment method.

Just done it!!! At last!

Just started using it on O2. Handly little app, though I'd love it if they transcribed voicemails into text (do they?).

Think it's part of their plans.

No credit card isn't an option anymore.

Even if you select the 'redeem a voucher/code' option?

So how did you do it if 'no credit card' is no longer an option?

corklad32

Either, though using the larger real estate of going through iTunes on a PC is probably more agreeable.

It is, I thought this for ages myself but managed it this morning. At the credit card section it will prompt Visa, click or scroll down to None, (there are options for Am Ex etc, None is the last option). I signed up on my iPad but I'm sure the option is the same on a Mac (or, heaven forbid) a PC.

And as for the app, wow!

And so.......

"You need to go to the US store and create and account. Use the address of the hotel you're staying at. Choose 'no credit card' as payment method".

Ta-da!

What I figured out was this; sign out of Irish iTunes, visit US app store and click on a free app to purchase. You'll then be prompted to sign in with existing acc or sign up etc. I signed up for new acc in the usual fashion, used an address and zip of a theatre company I have dealings with in NYC then when the option for CC came up I clicked on that and the last option was None.

I think the key here is to first attempt to purchase a free app from the US store. Otherwise the option isn't there. Also keep in mind you'll need an address and zip code, so have them at hand first.

Sweet, about time. The US account comes in handy again

Wonder who the "third party" is that's screwing them up launching it here properly?

Yeah, perhaps they can release the US/UK version here now?

Sigh - excuse my slowness.... Ok so i have my iphone with me - i dont have my laptop. Where is my option to sign out of the existing app store? I've looked but i cant seem to find like a settings option anywhere.....

Easiest method is to go to settings/store. Or follow the method above to create a US account (you can sign out of your existing a/c within the AppStore -scroll down below the top charts).
