Google Voice pulled from App Store following iOS 5 crash

What once was there now’s gone. Earlier today, Google Voice was just two clicks away within the iOS App Store. Now, all that is still is a page cache (on the source link below) and versions of the app that were already installed on iPhones and iPod touches. Vincent Paquet, Senior Product Manager for Google Voice confirmed that the app have been pulled, explaining “our last update of this week had a bug that caused the app to crash at sign up. We removed it so it didn’t affect additional users until the fix gets published.” We’ve been using the newest version — 1.3.0.1771 — on an iPhone 4 running iOS 5 without issue, but recent reviews cite the reported crashing, so it’s definitely affecting at the least some users. We do not have an ETA for whenever you can expect the app to come, so if you happen to don’t have already got it installed, you will need to hold tight in the mean time. The service should function normally otherwise, assuming your phone number has already been registered, though you will not be capable to begin new text threads or make outgoing calls using your Google Voice number.
