1) Where have you been? Since putting MockApp together in the fall of 2009, I’ve been too busy… using MockApp! I’ve used MockApp numerous times for client work but lately, I’ve decided to devote almost all my time to starting my own app development business (Lifelike Apps, Inc.) and creating/designing my own iPhone and iPad apps. . A handful of other apps are currently in development under Lifelike Apps as I type this. Never had this much fun. Very exciting stuff.
2) Why isn’t MockApp getting updated? I keep getting emails asking when MockApp will be updated to the 4.x iOS user interface, more icons, this or that missing view, etc. The short answer is: it probably won’t get updated any time soon. MockApp was my way to give back to the community and demonstrate how prototyping in Keynote or Powerpoint can make apps better. MockApp is not a business for me and I can’t justify putting more work into it.
3) I love MockApp but am having trouble doing x. Can you help me? You’re not going to like the answer but no. I really can’t. On the other hand, there are thousands of people using Mockapp so creating a user group where these kinds of questions could be answered may not be a bad idea… Any volunteers?
3) Will the current version of MockApp remain available? As long as the Google Adsense revenue from this site pays the hosting bill (which is barely does), that I don’t get a juicy offer for the domain 
and that people find the current version of MockApp useful, I don’t have a problem keeping the lights on. Just don’t expect anybody to be home!
4) Can I legally use MockApp for my company, my conference, my school, my textbook, my lectures, my book, etc.? Go for it! Consider this post your legal authorization. You don’t need to email me. MockApp is my karmic gift to the development community. I don’t expect anything from it other than good karma.
