This app still works 'cause I have it on my 3DS. I was downloading games off of it I had on my wish list but not all the games are listed there but most of them are. It's like sharing, people shared music but companies also see that as stealing so they have cracked down on the websites too that had such a program. Basically we are just sharing games and Nintendo sees it as stealing. Also the games download pretty quickly unless it's a big file. But we have high speed internet because watch youtube and Netflix a lot. Also what I think is good about this app is I don't have to worry about wasting money anymore and I can just delete the game if I don't like it and no money is wasted. There have been a few games that didn't work and then they did when I downloaded a different version. My game system is EU so sometimes I have to download the EURO version for the game to work.
I also don't get how this app was meant to download games you already have if you can do it in the eshop. But if you lost your cartridge game, I suppose you can just download it than rebuying it but Nintendo will still see it as stealing because it's like me walking into a Walmart and taking something I had already owned but it had broke and just walk out with it. As for downloading just to see if you like it, yeah that is like sneaking into a movie and watching the film to see if you like it or walking into a game rental place and taking a video game without paying just to see if you like it.
I can understand why Nintendo would crack down on this app and shut the site down where it was promoting it. But the app is still out there somewhere because people still have found a way to still access it and put it on the gaming system. Also you can still get the games from the eshop for free without using the freeshop. You just need another program for it that will allow you to do it. I think it tricks the system into thinking you had already purchased it so it says "to redownload screen."
