Hi Xaaav & team,
I would like to report a trouble I found while using appvisor:
I'm using an iPhone 3GS in iOS 3.1.3 and appvisor crashes when I want to comment an app. I can rate it and select the number of stars but after, if I want to comment and I go on "Title", the app crashes.
Best regards
Greg
Dear Greg,
We are investigating this crash. In the meantime, you may want to uninstall and reinstall the appvisor, ti sometimes does the trick!
Cheers,
the appvisor team.
*** Rating. Title: "Alerts" Review: "Ich finde es ziemlich verwirrend, dass bei neuen Apps zwar der SMS Ton ertönt, ich dann aber keinerlei Nachricht erhalte, wieso. Ein zusätzlicher Alert wäre hilfreich.
Ansonsten hilft die App, etwas den Überblick über die inzwischen zahlreichen Apps im Store zu behalten." sent by Anonymous in Bern on 11.08.08 08:07 from the appvisor client

That's a pretty cool and promising app. One user experience issue that annoys me a bit at the moment :
I use the french version of Appvisor but when I want to read the details of an app, the description is displayed in German even if on the appstore this app has a valid description in French, German, English...
Do you plan to fix that?
And finally a question: how is the "local" characteristic of an app is defined?
Keep on going & long life to Appvisor :)
Greg
Hi Greg,
Yes we are going to support multiple text descriptions in the near future so you should see app descriptions in your language. We hope to get this done very soon.
We define local apps based on your current geolocation or your default location in a given radius. If you have found any inconsistencies, feel free to use the feedback channel to tell us and we will look into it. Thanks for the great feedback!!!
Cheers,
