Bump removes iTunes sharing
An updated version of the Bump iOS app that removes the ability to share iTunes audio files, as required by Apple, has been released in the App Store. Bump first introduced the iTunes sharing feature in its v2.2 update back in November 2010, but due to changes in App Store requirements is no longer able to offer this feature. All other sharing aspects of the app, including image, photo, and document, have remained intact along with cross-platform support.
