an app i never purchased or loaded is suddenly appearing in my app update notifications window, its called g toolkit, how do i get this off my phone? I researched the app, from what i can tell its hackers.

I got the same thing on my phone. I also didn't update it. Hopefully somebody on here can let us know what it is.

Why on earth don't you just delete it?

A simple Google search would seem to show that it is a legitimate app from the App Store, but if you don't know what it is, then simply get rid of it.

This is apparently a renamed gmail app. Do you currently have a separate app for gmail and other google functions such as google chat?

According to the description in the app store G-Toolkit is a tollkit for G services (Gmail, etc). I also did a search and could not find anything about G-Toolkit being associated with hackers. What I did find was that the developers, Evolens Production Ltd. appears to be a legitimate company that has developed many apps for different platforms.

How it got loaded on your iPhone, I don't know. If you can find it on your iPhone, you should be able to delete it. I would also check your iTunes to make sure it isn't loaded there.

Thanks for the help. Next question - How do I delete an update that I don't want? I have never done that before.

I just search itunes for "g toolkit" and found it immediately. Here's the link to it:http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/g-toolkit/id334208513?mt=8

Do you have the Google app or a 3rd party Google app? And is that 3rd party app by Evolens or Zedsoft? If the answer is Yes to a 3rd party Google app that is the one that g toolkit is the update for.

It appears that this was published by the same company that does the gmail app, but they do a poor job indicating that. The two reviews of the update say it doesn't work anyway.

This seems to be a major release of GmailApp renamed G-Toolkit. I realized it when G-Toolkit stopped appearing in my available update list as soon as I deleted GmailApp from iPhone!

Do you have GmailApp?

I agree with you, I would be suspicious also. I've updated other apps that changed names, and in every case the description states that it is a new name for the old app. That disclaimer appears on every app that allows unfiltered internet access, such as the Skyfire and Opera browsers. Apple wants everyone on the latest version of iOS and apps, so they don't have to provide support for older versions of either. You will notice that most apps will not work on older versions of iOS once they have been updated.

I have the same problem! In reviews there are wanings to not download it!! I can see no way to delete an update for an App that I do not have. Watching the Replies..
