I have CoPilot UK installed on my Iphone 3gs bought with my Itunes account.

If I was to log into my Itunes account on my wifes Iphone 4 and re-download CoPilot would this work? she has purchased items on the phone in her own Itunes account.

We are going on holiday and leaving my Iphone at home (as its a works phone) so I'll be sharing my wifes phone.

When you purchase an App are you allowed to use it on more than one device?

I set my family up to all use my itunes account so if I buy an app they get it for free. As far as I know you can only use one iTunes account at a time so if she uses yours then has to be only yours.

Yes.

The rules of all items purchased from the iTunes Store (those with DRM - i.e. anything but Music) say that you can use the content on up to 5 computers and with an unlimited number of Apple devices - iPod, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

The easiest way to do what you want is to use iTunes to download and sync the application you want to share.

This guide has the basic premise of how to do it:

Using multiple accounts on the phone is a bit of a nightmare, so I'd strongly advise sticking to using iTunes to do the copying.

My wife had bought NDrive but when she got the new Iphone 4 she couldnt re-download it as it has now been removed from the Apps store, Apple has also been forcebly removing it from some peoples phones as well.

Very odd. It's working fine on my iPhone 4 I just checked. Any idea why Apple would remove it? BTW I bought Ndrive when it was about £15. They later had versions that where under a tenner.

Did they pay properly for the mapping data license?

Or is it that they taking sales and good profits from higher priced goods?

I had wondered how NDrive managed to release fully functional navigation apps with similar mapping included for a fraction of the price of all the competitors. I guess the answer is they forgot to license the included maps
