And no, the app is not approved, affiliated, or endorsed by CIC. Much like your computer browser you use to access ECAS on the website. The app is just a convenient browser that remembers the information and allows you to get your status with one click.

If anyone has constructive feedback about the app, please share it and i will communicate it to the publishers.
I have feedback, Tell the publishers to post it for FREE,. I am not being cheap but There is nothing in the app to sell it for $2 in app Store.
I can build same app in a Day or Two for you and can put it on App store for Free, if someone really want to use it.. :p
But I will strongly recommend people to not use things like this.. 8)

Build it for me! I'm super lazy! lol. But provide source code so I can check with whom I share my information I punch into the app. :D
But yes, you're right, there shouldn't be a price for a service offered for FREE by CIC.

lol.. according to App store policies I wont be able to publish that, because this guy has already published an app to serve this purpose.,
If you are lazy, I can write you some script which will check your ECAS for you automatically lol.. Just an idea!!!! ::)

I don't understand how $2 can be so significant. We all like free apps, but most free apps come with ads. This app is ad free.

The time this app saves you on a daily (or weekly, or however frequently you check your ECAS) is worth more than $2.

I actually agree with you. I will relay this feedback to the publishers. I am sure they would be open to release a free version of the app with ads. In fact, I am not sure why they haven't done that to begin with. That model seems to be much more attractive to both the publisher and the user.

That would probably be better business model. Add a frame at top & bottom and set it free. If it's paid it will give you 2$ once but if a curious user is opening it 50 times to check ecas everyday than it will give Hits n money evrytime he ll check..
Btw I am done with ecas, it ll not be of my use anyways.. :)

As I already mentioned it's not about being cheap for $2,, in actual it's not worth it... 8)
