I won't half as it. If u want to help, really help All the way. Just like the Iphone app.I mean if I go to a soup kitchen and feed homeless; a bowl of shit.And somebodys like "I won't eat this".What am I going to be like " O I am doing this for free and you won't eat this shit" and then I put on the Sign KATG soup kitchen.That would be wrong also.No doing something for free don't mean u can half ass it.

Ya man, I agree, you make some very excellent points and analogies. But I think you missed my point when you said:
"Thats what this joel guy whats u do think. FOR FREE u make it sound like keith and girl asked him to make this;they didn't."
My point is that obviously KATG DID NOT ASK him to make this app for them. But the guy went ahead and tried to help because he was trying to be cool and give back to the community and our favourite podcast.
If you read my previous comment, you would see I already agreed on your point of "He shouldn't put KATG's name on it if it is not even working properly."
But I think what is confusing this situation is the fact that I really doubt this guy intentionally "Did a half assed job". I am sure he put in hours of work with the intention of making it a great app, like the awesome iphone/itouch app, but in software development, there are always bugs.
But I AGAIN agree that he should have put in the time after the new release to stick around for crash testing.
On the point of "Katg is abrasive and that is why we listen", I will have to disagree.
We all love Keith's rants, and he seems to say them in a way that we can all jump on board, but in this situation, I felt like it was a little douchey the way Keith ripped a new asshole out of this guy who had the best intentions of helping KATG and wanted to just help the cause.
If someone volunteered to make an app for my company, I would have the EXACT SAME complaints that Keith did, BUT I would NOT rip them a new one for genuinely trying to be awesome and code apps for me and my cause for free. That was kind if an asshole move on Keith's part.
But again, maybe this a communication issue and there should have been more back and forths between the developer and KATG before this situation arose....
