bug reports

If you have bug reports then please get in contact via email or forums (http://www.my-pod.org/forums). There are email links in preferences. and email and forums links on the market page.

Just leaving a comment on the market doesn't help - things like:
"Latest update force closes on XXX. Cant wait for it to be patched."
"Only 1 file kept at a time on EVO? Not per feed, 1 total. Used to like of on the Droid, junk now."
"Bluetooth does not work on HTC Hero"
(There are worse comments on there, i know, but these relate to bugs or functionality)

I do understand the sentiment ... and the frustration, but it just doesn't help me fix the problem at all.

I'm not saying dont post it, if thats what you feel is best, but get in contact as well ...

Sorry I don't wanna put people off. I'm a nice guy (really!!) - i wont bite ;)

So the moral of this story is - if you want your (well, my..) bug fixed, Please, please, get in contact.

We need your help ... If you like MyPOD then please spare a second to give us a favourable comment on the market (there is a shortcut in preferences > check for new version). This app makes very little money, so good comments do provide encouragement.

I do understand how frustrating it can be when things don't work the way you expect. Having so much functionality in one app makes it tricky. If you have frustrations then just email me (preferences>feedback>feedback), or post on the forums (http://www.my-pod.org/forums) and we can see what the issues are, and i can improve the app, the frustrated comments left on the market are generally too brief to be useful...
