@ShadowWizard Brian is doing doing iOS revamps right now (the designer that designed our Android and iOS apps is also back helping us on a new project!) -- I was working on a specific featureset for the Android app that'll be announced in a few weeks (would talk about it if I could)
but no news after that.
no beta testers for Android?
also can't you just watch the packets and trace back the API method links?
I did that at work on my first day and found a security issue :D
@Quill well, I did that in the end...
the iOS one gets updated like once a week

Anyone other than hichris123 (and me) around?
I didn't
I reported it as spam
But Smokey already indicated that it's soup's fault so I don't know why it's still an issue :P
