DroidIn – reporting problems

What I really dislike in Android Market feedback is style of comments where people would trash your app and complain but will not give even a slightest hint on what the problems are. I don’t mind good beating, I don’t mind critique. But if I get just general statement like “this widget sucks” then it doesn’t help me to improve it. So next time you place your comment please, pleas let me know what the problem is so I can address it

Here’s shining example from Michael

Has the creator tried using it? Buggy, incomplete. Shouldn’t be in such a rush to post things.

“Buggy” Where, how? “Incomplete” – same thing. Yes, I have G1 phone and I test and use the widget extensively. It has tight dependency on availability of the network so don’t hold messages like “Page is not available” against me, I try to make my notification as user friendly as possible. The caching is on works
Yes, I know that DroidIn is missing major pieces such as “Inbox” and “Groups”. Alas so does http://m.linkedin.com and very unfortunately there’s no access to any sort of API that LinkedIn is willing to give me.

All I’m asking for my users to be a little bit more constructive and provide me with a valuable feedback and not just hatemail

    Hi,
    I have a problem with your application.
    I can’t read the profile of the different people.
    I always have a message like “load fail host not found”. but the notification woks fine.
    I’ve tried the paid version but there is the same mistake on it.
    Thanks a lot for correcting the bugs.
    Regards,
    Laurent

    Thanks, Laurent. This actually has been fixed. It has to do with a bug in HttpClient distro that comes with Android. Unfortunately, I’m having hard time to post any updates to the Android Market, hopefully android guys will get they act together and I’ll be able to do it on Monday. Stay posted!
