BUG (reported in iOS release thread) which also happens in the beta:

If the app currently is showing "Searching network..." then the Share function under the main menu causes the "Please wait..." message with the spinning icon to appear and never goes away. If this function is looking for network resources, it needs to be able to timeout and not keep the box on the screen forever.

(This appears to be another example of the app assuming that something will always happen and not having robust error handling available for every function in the app.)

Got a weird issue on the previous beta, but the thread is now locked, and it will take me some time to try to reproduce.

- had three messages on my inbox, the welcome, a message from a friend, and a UR fixed one.
- (my messages before the beta were never recovered btw)
- got a bunch of new UR fixed messages on my client inbox.
- deleted them not all at the same time, but in groups of 4 or 5 (more or less the ones visible on screen)
- got the feeling that some messages weren't really deleted, but there were so many I wasn't sure
- some of these were read, some were unread
- deleted the remaining ones until only the three first ones were visible, except that:

- instead of those three, I had those three shown twice - in order msg 3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1
- the unread counter in the lower corner was MINUS 4 "-4"

- restarting the client (with a proper "menu->turn off") shown zero messages, and obviously zero unread

- updating to this new beta version may have reset something internally, as now I now have those three messages again correctly.

Weird popup position when in landscape, and got even worse when the device was rotated to portrait:

My Waze app icon on the Springboard and the My Waze icon both have a (1) on them, but the Inbox line shows nothing and there is no message in the Inbox at all.

You are right, we will handle this in a better way.

23 items in my inbox? Apparently not.

I got my first UR solved client notification today. but all it did was show a banner when it came in. It wasn't in the inbox either.

Via my iPhone 3GS.

Also got two reports solved by someone else, but only one arrived at my client. Unfortunately the gmail filters failed miserably so I was almost not aware of the fix, but there was really two mails on my filtered trash. (the filter was meant to filter out my own reports, but google decided to fail and filter out every report email).

I'm sorry if I'm being a pain but it really bothers me that since some versions I can't locate my friends anymore on the map. There is no friend arrow like before. I can't see them unless I have an idea where they may be and then zoom in and hope for the best. And the concrete suggestion is to let the page with the friends click on a driving friend and zoom into their position on the map.
