The 3.x upgrade for $10 was offered to me within 20 min of taking the iPod T out of the box, so I was very grouchy. But then I discovered that the old OS never remembered the security info for my home wireless network, so I was typing in the PW every few minutes.

It might be getting about time for you to consider it again, for the FA app for example. |

I am whispering this "quietly" as I don't want the Itouch Gods to turn against me. Other then some apps freezing, I have had not one ounce of problems like you describe
My wireless settings hold AND, I have it networked into my computer where I can copy files to the unit wirelessly instead of using Itunes software. App is called Discover (WIFI). This allows me to use it as a portable hard drive as well as play music or videos. The copying is done through any web browser and you access the Itouch via IP address on your wireless network.
I just hate the thought of fixing what works, no different then me continuing to use XP I guess on my home computer. I use it primarily for web browsing and the usual brainless games  that can be downloaded.
One tip I just learned this past weekend. For those apps that act cantankerous and stops the Itouch cold in it's tracks to a frozen state, if you hold the power button and push and hold the circular button, in about 5 seconds, this forces a hard reboot of the unit. |

|
|
Hi all,
I think I found a bug in the new app. After you install if you try and search for a tailnumber (before having done anything else besides log in) the app crashes. I was able to do a tail number search after having searched for an airline flight but not before.
Looking forward to future updates. |

I'm unable to reproduce your issue. Does it only happen the first time that you open the app, or every time you open the app? |

If I am looking under the correct area it says Version 2.2.1 (5H11a) under Settings, and then General. |

No real reason to upgrade other than some app compatibility issues. The upgrade has caused me some problems with the Wi-Fi. The connection drops out randomly, and sometimes it "forgets" the password on a secure network...while being used. |

|

I have used FA for years and just found the iPhone app. Sadly, it crashes repeatedly on my iPhone 3GS. FA, if you take a look at the comments in the app store, you can see that the app is seriously buggy. I haven't seen a worse "star" rating for a mainstream app.
Please take the time to make the app more stable (usable, even) before adding any new features.
Thanks! |

I am new to this website and downloaded the iPhone 3GS App back in October. I really like the app since I commute across 3 times zones. No problems with it crashing but I do have a "user" question someone might be able to shed some light on.
When I am tracking a flight from coast-to-coast the departure time is correct for the local time zone (ie. 10:16AM), however the arrival status says 6:38PM UTC. It always appears correctly on the actual website, I double checked all my settings, yet the iPhone app still never corrects for local time zone?
Suggestions? |

Any airport with an unknown timezone gets UTC instead of local.
There's a bug in the current release where airports in Arizona are all unknown timezone, so they get UTC. We'll fix that in the next release. |

| That answers that, thank you very much for your time. Just out of curiosity, any idea when a new update may be available? |

|
|
| When I go in to the iPhone app, it comes up with the plane I'm tracking and the map at the bottom of the screen. When I tap the map, it switches pages, brings up the back button with a blank screen, then crashes. Any ideas? |
