Yes. Old app continues to work fine under ios9

That's great, thanks for that.

Ditto. Just re-installed the old application

Please could someone send me the install files for the old APP???

They are stored in your user profile folder in windows. It's just generic, no personal data will go with it. Each app has its own file.

Its over 40 mb so too large to send. Drop box I guess?

The latest annoyance, the last few characters seem to drop off a post.
Really, this app is causing me to rethink my participation in this forum. It has gone from being interesting and fun, to painful and annoying.

Thanks! I don't actually know how to use dropbox

Will I need a login or anything? Sure I can figure it out anyway.

Thanks Pushka, although I needed to rely on an email notification for your PM as the new app doesn't have that functionality... Grrr... Will login on the PC next week and get that sorted, ta.

Aint that the truth...

Unfortunately it does seem that the app is tied in some way to an AppleID
It uploaded to my phone properly, but then asks for my appleid and then just closes/crashes when I enter it.

Oh well, thanks for the effort Pushka. I've deleted it but have the data file incase someone finds a work-around. I'll start googling...

Ah. That makes sense. It does ask for apple id whenever you 'purchase' even a free app.

That's a good point. Might have to dig it out of my own iTunes library providing it hasn't updated.

Not sure why, considering the number of issues, Admin doesn't just post the old app and call it AFF classic or something - at least while the bugs are ironed out - which considering the minimal improvements since going live - probably another 2 years away...

I don't know who the developer is but if I'd paid them I'd be asking for a refund

I mentioned previously we were developing an app for our business. Lets just say that some app developers have the 'no refund' policy well stitched up. One day there will be a 'royal commission' into the way some IT people charge for service.

One thing that gives me the real irrits. The site will be working, then one area stops functioning. Nothing to do with our end but at their end. We then are charged for them to fix their own problems. One time they did a server maintenance upgrade. Stopped our site from working in its tracks. We were then charged for the maintenance in the first place, and then their time to get our site back up. Our contract with them finishes this week.

Don't know why you are blaming the developer. When custom built applications are made there is an agreement between the developer and who ever is having it made as to what it needs to do, what level of quality et. Fact is, once someone has made the decision that yes this product is good enough, lets move it into the production environment, that probably kicks off a milestone payment. But remember, someone has to say yes, this is good enough. It is not normally the developer.

Sorry - cant agree. We have to make progress payments when the product isn't ready for market but a prototype. A deposit is also required. And that is standard contracts with the IT people we have dealt with. And we will have a beta test first and feedback passed on for the next version. I have some sympathy for Admin due to our frustrations with our process. But think we should have been given a better warning of limitations before upgrading.

Is there an easy way to get the old app back? iTunes only has the current app available.

Edit: I can see that some have done it, but I can't work it out??? I seem to be missing something, here.

Seems more like issues around due diligence in procurement than anything else. Deposits and progress payments are normal, but the final payment is based on meeting agreed functional and qualiy criteria. The new App was assessed to have met the appropriate criteria. See the announcement http://www.australianfrequentflyer....ncements/new-ios-app-now-available-69086.html (Testers: "Their involvement was critical in ensuring a quality product with appropriate functionality") (Developer: "skilled, enthusiastic, and honest App developer")

No, each app is linked to the apple id so my app wont work for anyone else. Tried it Friday.

By the time you get to final stage the $ balance is much less than the progress payments so far. You think - I have paid most of the money so obviously you will end up proceeding to make the best of it. Apparently many of the issues reported in Beta were not implemented - who knows why not?

That referral seems to look like the app is all finished - done and dusted?
