What's New in Don't buy this app

179.6.242848

September 6, 2016

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. The app is now free! However... Ponies will cost you (unless you already bought the paid version of the app). Also, added a new part that's sort of like "Breakout" but with a baby that you bounce off a hotdog, because who doesn't want to bounce a baby off a hotdog? Oh, and added a few additional bits of weirdness here and there.

PONIES!!!!!

This purchase provides quite a lot of ponies. And also lets the creator of this app know that you are the sort of person who's willing to pay for inane nonsense.

Awesome sauce

Dear creator:
This is utterly perplexing, this app opens a master lock in my brain to unfold dreams in my every night
sleeping experiences.
Especially baby’s bouncing off of hot dogs.
I enjoy it for the reason it represents my personality. Best regards… -TheEightBall 🎱
Ps: before downloading this app a celestial gold fish was riding on a pbj and told me to the the worm (as usual)after that I transported to a room full of platypus that told me to check my phone the App Store was open to this game (thank the platypus.)

Response from developer

We were aware of most of this functionality except for the PBJ. There is no PBJ in "Don't Buy This App". Is it possible you've confused it with your lunch box?

YES

Yes yes yes
