Eth57 : I am sorry to say that it acted crap on my phone too and I stopped fooling around with Kate after trying it out once though I have an unlimited license. It is just not ready for mainstream usage….

I installed KATE this morning on my iphone having firmware 2.0, and soon realized my dialer crashes and I cannot make phone calls. Installer won’t allow me to uninstall, and I can’t even uninstall the RIPDEV stuff (which I can’t wait to do since those turkeys are the ones that introduced KATE to my phone)… Installer 4 says it uninstalls KATE and RIPDEV, but the ripdev and kate controls are still sitting there smugly in the settings screen… its like a virus! What kind of sadistic people are we dealing with?? What dark days these are that something reminiscent of installing microsoft windows can reside on our iphones. Oh, and a subscription-based license for this crappy software?? Go fly a kite on the freeway! What a RIP, RIPDEV! Off now to restore my iphone…

BaDOAN : Highly not recommended at the moment. It terribly slows down the system. I tried and had to restore!

Hi, I’m on 2.0.1, has any one tried installing Kate? I’m worried it’ll mess up my phone.

Anjali : Did you follow my updated steps at the end of this post to completely uninstall Kate? Frimware 2.0 might not be a bad idea either! Working on an easy solution, keep watching this space

hi,
I installed Kate on my phone thru the Installer software and later uninstalled it by ticking all the checkboxes as well.
However some features like the wallpaper selected and stuff which were applied while the kate app. existed on my phone continues to remain on my phone.
I tried reinstalling Kate app. on my phone but could not do so due to expiry of its trial period.
Rebooting did not help amd i dont want to restore the phone.
How can i get rid of this completely? I do not want to buy Kate.

I know how to fix the issue and get rid of Kate. Connect your iphone to itunes, open Kate and uncheck everything (the touchscreen should be working by now), click apply, and everything will go away and your phone will work. Delete Kate from installer after that. If you delete Kate from installer without unchecking, your iphone will still be messed up with Kate stuff. Hope this helps!

I have the same problem. You can only launch an application after that you cant click anything. So I cant even uninstall Kate!

Hello there. I have just installed Kater on my iPhone, I had not read these reviews of the software. So far (5 hours or so) my iPhone works perfectly, and made my phone cooler and smarter. But i got suddenly became very anxious when I read your messages. For how long did you have the software installed before it destroyed you iPhone? Should I uninstall immidiately?
