A few weeks ago, we relaunched the Pirates Prospects app silently. We did a silent release in order to do some live testing, and make sure the big problems that led to the app being pulled in the first place were removed.

The biggest problem with the old app was that it was allowing free access to the site for a lot of users on Apple devices. I own zero Apple devices, so after the initial testing, I didn’t notice this problem. It only came up when someone’s subscription expired, allowing them continued access on the iOS version of the app, even though they hadn’t renewed.
