The update makes Forums better but not good! :| It crashes every time I try to submit a post to TA, but I think that's an improvement to the previous behaviour in letting me post and then nothing apearing Threads are now marked with their last update time (today, yesterday, etc) Smaller Font size in the threads overview; more to read still no landscape support You can now delete your favourite threads Still too expensive for an Forum reader imo, but better than before!
Welcome to TA. TOFTT: Taking One For The Team Meaning: One how will spend the money and tell others what's all about.
decided to take the plunge after the update and as Crypton says there are still issues. good points nice clear font able to scroll down and read forum topics, posts, without have to continually zoom in/out as you would with a web browser Multiple pages become one long scroll list or you can select to go direct to a page. bad points Font (for me anyway) of the topic headings is still too large, would be heped greatly by having a landscape mode Cannot post - always crashes Doesn't display posts date/time Massive massive memory leaks - I'm running sbsettings to I can see the memory drop in realtime the more I use forums. It goes from 35mb down to 5mb then crashes every time. The worst example I've seen of this. So, some nice ideas in the app and it does make scanning the latest topic headlines (both in toucharcade and gallifreybase) easy to read, but until the developer actually commits resource to test the app/learns about memory management, then it's dead in the water. It makes a mockery of Apple's approval system that they allow an app to be released with such bad memory issues let alone some of the interface problems Maybe crypton and I need to offer out services to the developer to help test the next version. I know of at least two developers of web browsers who are going to incorporate some form of easy forum reading in future releases so he needs to hurry up Mat
indeed, but I've done it myself, been put off buying a game because it's £1.79 instead of 59p ! It's crazy when full price psp and ds games are over £20 Saying that though, this piece of software shouldn't be out of beta testing. I don't mind the odd feature not working, but with it's current memory leaking issues it's unusable.
