GRRR, Minnesota Public Radio UPDATED their app for the iPhone, and now...

[Pierre.Suave]

all it does is CRASH!

I am so bummed, I will be without it now until they fix it. I can only hope it will be soon.

1. Poo! It sure does crash.

Just updated mine, too, and IT DOESN'T WORK! It crashes immediately! They better fix it TOMORROW!

[Pierre.Suave]

2. If not SOONER!

:rofl:

I did send them a very nice note, telling them how great they are and all, and letting them know that it is happening. So add it to the chorus of them they are getting I am sure...

but hey, I AM a donor, maybe they will read my correspondence...


:rofl:

3. Want me to poke my head out my window and yell at them?

I'll do it just for you.

[Pierre.Suave]

4. Yeah

why dont you do that for me!

LOL

just tell them that JasonC said you could, and they better be working on the fix RIGHT NOW!

:rofl:

5. Done

And one of my neighbors shouted back that he has called the police. They'll never find me. It's a big building.

6. DOOD

9. Buy a Mac...

:spray:

Just jivin'. I'm a tad more grown up and am trying to get away from those silly little platform wars...

I hope MPR will fix their bugs or hire someone as a QC expert... probably costs to much to hire an American so they'll get 10 H1Bs for 1/20th the cost and in all likelihood won't get any further anyway... /cynicism


Edited: Lower-case typo

10. Well, i DO have a mac...

anyway, this is the e-mail they sent me today.

Hi Jason,

Yes, we learned last night that the update is causing the app to crash.
Thanks for your note. We've identified and fixed the problem, but need
to wait for our fix to be approved by the App Store which, we estimate,
will take about 3 days.

In the meantime (if you haven't discovered this already), you can get
the new functionality by deleting your existing MPR radio app an doing a
clean, new install of the updated version. When users install the
complete new version (not the update), the app with its new
functionality works great.

Thanks again for your kind words and patience,

they have a workaround already, plus the fix already in the pipeline. That is pretty cool.

YAY for responsive organizations!

this is why I am so happy I support MPR.
