App Temporarily Unavailable

Trying to install iOS app "Summoner Wars". Many people are getting the "Temporarily Unavailable. Please try later" message and have been for several hours.

Some people have suceeded (some after creating a new Apple ID).

Apple, please fix this as this one is likely to go to the top of the free apps once word spreads.

Very unhappy customer here regarding this issue and Apple's lack of attention to it. This has effected more than the app in the post above, and it been over a full 24 hours since Apple introduced the issue. Issues such as these makes a customer wonder if Apple is even cognizant of what is going on with this. At least some mention of it on a communiation channel would at least alay the feeling that Apple is oblivious.


Very poor customer care from Apple.

Also unhappy about Apple's slow response time to the issue at hand. I do understand that such a large company such as apple requires a lot of care in maintaining things, but this has not been the best. I do understand that the 24 hours was on a holiday (though then I wonder why they approved it during that day and just left everything unfinished), but some feedback from apple would be nice


I am very unhappy, as I am still ready to spend money on this app, thus giving apple money, and this is stopping me from doing so.


Please respond Apple. We can make it through this, but you have to be open to us.

It certainly doesn't seem to be a server issue since it's not tied to geography. My friend lives 5 minutes away and downloaded it fine last night. Lot's of other people are experiencing the same thing. I've tried a different Apple ID to no avail. I've tried multiple devices, including my MacBook Pro, iPad 2, iPod Touch (3rd Gen) and iPhone 4. I've tried it over 3G and connected to 3 different WiFi networks. This is the very first time I've anticipated a day one release of an app and I feel like Apple has botched this one. I'm very disappointed. I don't even care though - just let me get the app!

Honestly, it's been more than 24 hours now that the app has been "unavailable."


This is out of hand and something needs to be done.


I further can't understand why Summoner Wars was submitted for approval two weeks ago before anyone at Apple even looked at it. The demand for the app is clearly quite high. Why on earth did it take until right before a holiday with its potential pitfalls to even get to it?
