its super sick, but literally 80% of tricks are unnatural, which is cool for learning, but if I have it set on hard for corks, big spins, etc. it is pretty hard for me to just huck a switch un-natural cork 9 lead mute...

Need to add lipslide and switch lipside, along with their spins, and switch tails over. If were planning on getting technical with downrail tricks. But I like the app, and the trick list looks like its growing already! hell yeah
I think this app is an interesting idea in it's own right but am nonetheless more than a little fearful that a lot of kids are going to hurt themselves trying this shit. I get that there are different levels of difficulty and I get that kids are going to want to emulate tricks they see pros doing no matter what but prior to doing so they should try and visualize them and learn as much about them as possible before they actually try them. The notion of trying something an app on your phone tells you to on a moments notice is somewhat unsettling to me.
in addition I would like to add once again that I don't mean to imply that this is a bad idea and furthermore that people who wish to bash it outright or complain about the cost either have too much time on their hands or too little money in their pockets, for as previously mentioned if you don't like it don't buy it and if $1.99 really strikes you as excessive than I'm not sure what to say. All I wish to say is I'm somewhat concerned that this App may entirely unintentionally result in kids hurting themselves.
Thanks for the notes. You bring up a pretty huge point that we are super concerned about. We want it to be fun - not dangerous. We even went as far to make our iTunes store description cover the following before purchase of the app. Cheers for the message though - we're with ya!

Thanks for the response and concern, I appreciate it. In all honesty I expected to be massively flamed for my comments as I haven't commented on anything on here in a very long time and had not intended on my first comment in ages being whiny(though as an unexpected benefit of getting older one experiences an inexplicable increase in concern for safety in regards to children and a near total decrease in ability to be affected by anything that may be thrown your way on the interweb). I think the "basically, if you die..." part might be better left obviously implied by that which precedes it instead of actually mentioned in such a way that makes it seem like it's funny but I'll leave that up to you to decide, end of whining I promise. In the off chance you like that last idea and would like to make me your lawyer my credentials suck but I'm down.
