Bugs?

[Mark]

I've only had this app for one day, and it's nice, when it works.
I've lost several text posts & photo posts. Refresh rarely works. As a
workaround, I exit the app & relaunch it. Overall, I'm dissatisfied.

Hi Mark,

It seems my first reply being missed somewhere. I was in a trip and sent it in a hotel. I am sorry for any confusion caused by me.

I am also sorry for what you experienced. I keep tracking a search feed on friendfeed for the term "buddyfeed" so that I've already seen some of your complains. I'd like to get some more information so that I can investigate on your issues.

First, I'd like to know which version of BuddyFeed you were using. I'd also like to know more about the refresh issue. Can you give me more detailed information about the symptoms and what kind of network situation you were in?

You problem seems more like a network issues to me. However, no matter what, the current version of BuddyFeed does lack draft and fail-safe features for posting when there's network problem. I've already put them in the todo list.

No problem, Robin :)

I'm looking forward to testing the app heavily this weekend, as I'll
be heading on a vacation. I'm sure I'll have a variety of signals. I'm
sure much won't be 3G, but maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Current version is v2.0 (053c276)

During the problematic posting times, the progress indicator stopped
turning, thus it looked like the process had completed. The screen did
not refresh automatically, so I tapped the refresh icon. It indicated
it processed my request, but no new content appeared. So, I exited the
app, relaunched, it auto-refreshed & my post appeared. This occurred
a few times, but not every time. I had all bars in a 3G location.
Safari was functioning fine & used it to cross-reference whether my
content really published or not.

I'm sure once there is a fail-safe feature, it will shed some light to
successes vs failures. In the meantime, I'll continue to test it out.

Mark,

Thank you very much for the information.

I will check if there's any problem in the indicator related to post.

For the refresh issue, although most of the post can appear in the your feed instantly, I know that there are situations for the entries posted from friendfeed api to be synced to the feed after certain delay. It may cause what you observed. I found it out by checking friendfeed from a browser and buddyfeed in the same time after posting. You don't really need to restart the app.

Thanks again for your support of BuddyFeed
