JohnnyInSNJ Veteran Author New Jersey Posts:340 Points:39,845 Joined:Mar 2011	Message Posted: Mar 7, 2011 5:42:01 PM Ignore JohnnyInSNJ Report Abuse I was just looking for a more specific place to vent about the iphone app problems. Perhaps a permanent category could be made so developers can find complaints and suggestions in one spot... First two vents... 1. iphone app disconnects out the wazoo. 2. needs better map integration, I want to look at a real time GPS map that shows stale prices in a different color (color change at a different altitude perhaps) ("stale" set by user, site or relative stations)

Yes I know, horse and buggies fought long and hard to stay relevant, but now we only see them in Lancaster. I love my stinking smartphone. I love waking up to it's stench every morning.

Maybe if there was an app for J2ME phones a category would be good. Ah but I don't need an app. Opera Mini works just fine and has for years. Long before the current crop of stinking "smart" phones came along, I started posting with OM almost every day.

EBR Champion Author Greensboro Posts:21,843 Points:3,267,845 Joined:Mar 2004	Message Posted: Mar 9, 2011 7:20:05 AM Ignore EBR Report Abuse I've raised the issue over in "Suggest a Web Site Improvement". See this topic. Hope it gets some more support and gets the attention of the mods. Shouldn't be that tough to implement.

I'm surprised the devolopers don't have a space yet. But in other news, I did find the built in map thingy. I didn't see it at my original post.
