On the other hand I think the company stinks if they don't allow the license or provide their own similar program.

I looked at the youtube video for the app. Then I went to the Prentke Romich website and looked at their product.
The app is a direct knock-off of the product. Maybe it works slightly differently but the app looks like they took the product and just copied it verbatim. it is really that close. blatant rip-off.
I agree with the rest of it. The Prentke Romich company is enforcing the propriety of the product by not making it portable to alternate hardware platforms like the ipad...but as the owners of the patent, that is their right. I hold no grudge against them for that.
