    I built this app because I got tired of entering my e-mail address over and over to sign into apps, or entering my address when filling out forms, etc. As far as I know it's the on…

    A developer can't just set a background fetch interval in iOS7 and have the app fetch at that interval (i.e. fetch every hour). Rather you can set your app to background fetch, and…

    I'm the guy who runs Two Dollar Tuesday (I'm also a Mac App Developer): A few reasons why you wouldn't necessarily do it every day: At $1.99, he would have to sell more than twice …
