They've suspended downloads again. And I've noticed when you use the app that it is taking longer to pull down images than it did yesterday. Methinks they're getting swamped!

Haven't tried it today, been busy (see my blog), but I have had no problems. Having said that, I did pay the subscription, so I might get priority somehow..

Funny thing is.... it always works when I try it lol. Once you get onto a server it should be ok. I'd try again in a bit, the server traffic might have lightened up a bit. It does tend to download quite a bit of image data when you first use it.

Still no luck and everyone else is getting on fine.

Think its time to give up and send a nasty feedback to the makers.

This is not working for me and others I know within my town are on it. I I refuse to **** about with poor software.

Apart from the word BETA in the logo?

I've only just realised it's still in Beta so it's probably my fault for not realising sooner. I suppose you have done the obvious check any firewalls that are running routine?
