Issues with AP Mobile v4.4 for iPhone

It appears that the new 4.4 version of AP Mobile may be having some problems with iOS 4.3.3 that was released almost simultaneously. Since location cache is apparently now deleted by the OS you may need to sync your device with iTunes to re-verify the user account. We apologize for the inconvenience but this issue just started hitting the discussion boards and appears not to be limited to AP Mobile. We are investigating further and will issue a hot fix as necessary.

Users have reported that uninstalling and reinstalling the app seems to do the trick. Also, please email us at iphone_support@ap.org with any information that will help us to fix the issue.

Thank you.

AP Mobile issues on Windows Phone 7 devices

There have been complaints that the AP Mobile app for Windows Phone 7 is crashing frequently. These problems seem to be correlated with an OS upgrade and most complaints are coming from users with HTC devices that were updated to OS version 7.0.7390.0. There was a significant upgrade build already in the works, which we are expecting to release in the next week or two pending final testing. This should address the crashes as well as several other bugs and performance issues. We apologize for any inconvenience but we are working hard to address the issues and provide a best in class app and experience.

Thank you.
