Apple Pulls Fake Jailbreak App From App Store [Updated]
It looks like someone managed to briefly sneak in an app in the App Store, which claimed to jailbreak all iOS devices including iPhone 4S and iPad 2 and worked with all iOS firmwares from iOS 3.0 to iOS 5. Apple has pulled the app.
The fake app was called "Jailbreak" and was available on the App Store for $9.99.
Folks at BlogsDNA were the first to spot the app and warned users about it:
iPhone app disguising as app to jailbreak, don't fall for this, its game and not tool to jailbreak

The app has been out for months I saw it about 3 months ago

Hahahaha what an idiot you have to be to think that it was a real jailbreak! Furthermore what an idiots work at apple it took them so long to take it down. Probably that is the reason shy ios5 is such a shi t. Except maybe siri.
-
Are you retarded? Learn to speak English you fool!

You can name an app what you like. If I made a game about convicts escaping from prison I could call it Jailbreak. What makes this app stand out is the way it's been marketed. The developer has used very clever social networking skills similar to those used on phishing emails to make you believe that it is something that it is not.

I knew it was fake I didn't buy it
-
"According to AppShopper, the fake jailbreak app was released on October 26th."According to you this app was released about 3 months ago?
-
So what's the status on the A5 jailbreak? Haven't heard much news on it lately.
-
Does not Apple check every app for giving it go ahead?
-
If you are a foll and buy a app called "jailbreak" directly from apple thinking that it's a real jailbreak it's your fault. Congratulation to the guy who crated this app.

Please feel free to SHOOT us AN email.

The real idiot is Apple !! How did it get in there in the first place?
-
I want to jailbreak my iPhone iOS 5.0.1!! When is an app gonna come out??
-
This app is a game and not JB anything, but your wallet. Anyway, this damn app has been out for a long time. Buy it if want like to play game.
-
this seems hardly possible.
-
Always read the apple news letter n development regarding apps n s/w b4 u install JB for ios 5. I do!The guy is only misleading the users but not commiting crime isnt it?
-
Only MuscleNerd and iPhone Dev Team know how long is going to take to come out for the Untethered jailbreak version of iOS 5. Stay tuned into iDownloadblog with Jeff...he's a cool person and I'm sure he will be one of the first into the jailbreak community to let you know when. I hope before the end of the year.
