(I was able to install Stanza everywhere as long as it was my own IPA file that I authenticated by inputting my Apple ID data. (Or switch to Android, which I'm likely to do pronto, as soon as apps like Marvin and Mailbox are available there.) It's a silly system devised by Apple, but then, iOS is a silly operating system (ugly, too, since iOS 7), so we just need to live with it. I'd be happy to send you my IPA file, but like At_Libitum mentioned, it would only work for you if you entered my Apple ID data on your device. So, it took many weeks, but finally it's there. The download and installation went smoothly, at long last. Well, believe it or not, but Marvin 2.5.4 - the iPad-only "old" edition we've been waiting for - just popped up in the regular Updates section of the App Store on my iPad 1. If they were, I'm switching away from iPhone right this minute. The only thing holding me back from switching to Android immediately (especially on the phone), is that apps like (especially) Marvin and Mailbox are not available on Android. IOS is really an insult to human intelligence, besides looking fug-ugly since iOS 7, too. It may be that I'll have to enter my App Store access data when trying to run a Marvin installed that way for the first time, but entering my own App Store access data as a one-time measure would be no problem, of course. Kris, what about making the Marvin for iPad installation file available for us to download separately outside the App Store? I think I'd be able to install it using iFunBox, which offers an "Install App" feature even for non-jailbroken iDevices. On the sixth page of apps, there is Marvin for iPad, version 2.5.4, but tapping the "install" icon brings up the pop-up error "The item you are trying to buy is no longer available". On iPad 1 running iOS 5, the first 2 Marvin versions offered in the "Purchased" section are the two that are not eligible, Marvin Universal and Marvin Free.On iPad 3 running iOS 7, the most recent version shown in that "Purchased" section is still 2.4, so nothing to do there.
