Tord released that app and he's busy doing other things at the moment. Not a high priority for him, plus working with Apple through iTunes is not the most pleasurable experience and they do charge developers $99 per year . So there's numerous reasons why he would want to be busy with other things.

Smallfish does have the latest SF 7 engine.

Its sad, but I understand.

I wouldn't mind paying near the 100 bucks to have once per Year the latest Stockfish and an improved GUI.
