Just got it through Cydia, and it’s awesome…I have facebook, my messages, slacker, and email all running on my 3G and it doesn’t seem to have a problem yet. sometimes i’ll crash it but thats my fault…good job guys.

Tried it out yesterday. Really buggy. When I first reboot or respring, multifl0w shows the mail app open, but no screenshot of the mail app, just the text "mail". same thing happens off and on when I open facebook, tweetdeck and a couple of other apps. Sometimes it shows the screen shot just like the video, and sometimes it just shows the name of the app. If you try to close a backgrounded app while it is first loading, it'll crash and respring your phone. The Dev needs to do some more work and clean up all the bugs. Overall, for now, not impressed enough to spend 5 bucks, maybe later. I would recommend waiting until v2.0 or later. I've been using Kirikae for a while and for now it's a much better experience.

Kirikae is much better. It's free too.

There is already a phone call recording app but only for outgoing calls.

You can install Rock through Cydia.

Is there a way to get/add Rock, if I didn’t add it during JB?

since multi tasking is enable, who will be the first one to develop a phone call recording app? (pls don’t discuss legal issue here, we’re just talking about app. CallRec in PalmOne Treo is the best for now)

Anyone having trouble activating MultiFl0w? Am I missing something… I installed, restarted a couple times… but when i double tap the home button, i just get my favorite callers??

i jailbroke just so i could get backgrounder, thinking that background multitasking was a huge omission from apple. now that i have it, i barely use it. i mean its good for pandora, but thats about it. most of the apps i have pick up where you left off anyway, and it really doesnt take that long to open them. so long story short, def not worth $5 for the occasional pandora usage

Been using it for a few hours, and I have to say it's pretty good. Transitions from one app to another has been pretty smooth so far, it lacks the polish that apple would have for this sort of thing, but with a few updates I'm sure they'll iron all the creases.

Only thing I don't like about this is the fact, that it leaves a few memory leaks at the moment, that's one thing they definitely have to fix.

Yep, use Rock. Much better.

Don’t see the point in this limited form. Kirikae does a much better job.

There is a free trial I’m trying it out now. I had a few time when it crashed my phone but I think it’s cause I sent the app into the background before it finished loading. You all should use Rock App installer. Their UI is so much easier and faster. They trial is available through that installer.

I'd buy it if I backgrounded several apps at once, but I don't. I usually run only one app in the background at a time.

Nice idea, but not for me.

Well. They tell you install it via Blackra1n if you’re running 3.1.2. If not then use the desktop client.

Buggy and expensive.

Well, it’s $4.99 on Cydia or as Renè says Sid die ya. No trial. You have to go to their website to sign up for an account. It did say “Sign up on your PC”. PC???? No Mac??
