I was an android user when it went offline. When Apple bought it they kind of mothballed it for a year or so, no updates but it still worked. Then they took the apps off the stores, but the API was still enabled for a lil while longer, so other services still functioned for the most part.

Then one day it just stopped working and it all went away. But it took apple ~18 months or so to kill it off, if I remember right.

But there was never any refund or whatnot.
