Pretty much every category that I am interested in, WM5/6 offers much better solutions.

But, no good Fart software for the WM5/6.

I’d just read the blog post of the author, wanted to see what they wrote for a description. I didn’t realize it was on the top page of the App Store, so just did a search as what I thought was the quickest way to find it.

It overtook SimCity for iPhone to do so (quite a feat IMHO). Its developer published day-by-day unit sales stats. It sold 5497 units on Saturday, Dec. 20, at 99 cents each (minus Apple’s 30% take).

Yesterday, I discovered that there are three “Units” applications. Someone said, “Get Units, it’s great!’ (No, that’s not a plug; that’s literally what they said) and so I got it.

I said, this is… not really great, it’s kind of just a list of stuff in a generic table.

Turns out I had ‘the other Units’.
