    Great to see Apple has finally pulled their finger out!

    Is this a new game rather than an update, as I now have two version of underworld?

    Barteh, yep, it was submitted as a standalone game, because it is meant for 3.0 firmware only. Just in case we will need to update old 2.x branch of the game.

    So now the “druglords for underworld theme” don’t work for this version… Maybe later?

    Benoit, regarding the DrugLords reskin theme, I’m afraid we can’t help here: it is supported by the fans. I think the theme pack has to be updated in order to work with 1.3.

    I love the multi-tile view! I’m not sure if they announced that they were adding it as a whole new game or if they just figured we would know but when Andrey announced it I was refreshing my updates page like every five minutes haha. THANKS GUYS!

    Underwold would be slapped by Apple if they were caught sniffing around Cydia :)

    Im sure whoever created the original theme will port it to the new version, I cant imagine it would involve much work.

    Hope the next update with new levels and missions is in the pipeline and Apple will be faster this time.
    Anyway i want to say thanks to andrey and the Team for the great job they are doing!!! Keep on going

    Please help me. I bought a new iPhone because my old one broke. Now my IMEI number changed and I can no longer access my old profile. I spent months building that profile. Is there any way to recover. If not, this seems like very poor design if you don’t let people upgrade their phones after spending months building up profiles in upgrades.

    Anybody else having issues with receiving push notifications?

    @ TV4Fun–

    Email Andrey and he will transfer the account for you. Try support@a-steroids.com or andrey@a-steroids.com. I believe they both work.

    @ Gareth–

    Me too. I even double checked the settings to make sure that they were selected, and they are.

    I don’t know if the problem is on my end or not. My device is a 2G jailbroken iPhone, unlocked, but on AT&T’s network with an iPhone data plan.

    I have a few other apps that I also seem to have trouble with, which I also don’t receive notifications for, but I have some that work perfectly too.

    I don’t get it. I hope there is something that can be done about it, and I hope that I’m able to figure out very soon what that is.

    This is a feature that I’ve really been looking forward to.

    Hi, i just downloaded the game, it asked me to allow push, which i allowed, but when i run the game it won’t connect. it brings up the connection error everytime. my location settings are on, it worked PERFECTLY on the 2.2.1 compatible version. idk what to do, i’ve rebooted my phone

    running a iPhone 3g jailbroken on 3.0.1 FW.

    hey andrey i love your game, but the sweets aren’t the right thing for me so i use the cydia skin to turn it back to druglords.but ive got a suggestion: why don’t u make an option to change the background images and names manually?then u or somebody else could make different images too change. but then the problem will be too tell somebody e.g. to turn the price for waffles down and he dont know what the other one means because his products have other names. sweets are so innocent i think even weapons or something else illegal will make the game more interesting.probably other think sweets are ok but i cant go with it

    hoping the druglords theme update will show up soon

    Does push notification use text or does it just port the info directly into the iPhone without using SMS?
    I ask because I don’t have a text plan and don’t want to be charged.

    Gil, the notifications about sales and your new messages are being pushed to a device using iPhone/iPod Touch special push service. It’s not SMS, so you won’t be charged for that.
