another non-vocal fan (i.e. i've never posted before...) but i like this game.
similar to "tbear", I am also running AF on an original iphone and at enlightenment level 3. Ever since the latest update, it crashes frequently during mining (though that hasn't stopped me from restarting and playing again). Doesn't seem to be a particular point that it crashes. Just crashes a lot.
Keep up the good work though. It's a great game.

I'm playing on iTouch 16 and have been playing since the Monday after the first release. I had problems only when i put down the ipod and it went to sleep. Restarting resolved the problem. Yesterday, after the upgrade while mining I reached a level and it started to take me to the character screen and froze. I haven't been able to restart. I'm heading to apple support to find out how to reinstall the app.
keep up the good work--you have me addicted.

iPod Touch ~ Prior to the update I kept wondering what some of the things in the game were for as they never seemed to unlock (like the power-ups) Then I see the update that was to resolve the fact they were not working. Now, the app has done nothing but consistently lock up. The first time was when launching the app (for the first time after the upgrade), now in the game play, usually when leveling up, if the iPod is 'upside down' when choosing a mineral type to upgrade it will lock up when I select it (Consistently) However if it is right side up (Home button at the bottom), it doesn't usually lock up. Shaking and rotating the game is not as consistent (Smooth) as it was previously and I have dragged a block clear off the screen (It disappeared and after a few seconds showed back up again) . When trying to build the magicbook "Black Nothingness" I attempted several times it now no longer allows me to select it to attempt to build it again.

Before the update, I never had a crash. After the update, I've had a few, but not quite the extent that others have had. I'm on IPOD Touch, btw. My situation exactly.

Was working fine as late as 2 days ago. Picked it up about 7/17. Now it crashes on opening every time. Tried re-downloading, but still crashes.
How do I get the crash log?

I've had a crash almost every time I'm about to lvl after the update. I found a way around this though. I just play holding my iphone upside down. No crashes, stutters or anything. I'm lazy and don't like to turn the iphone so I just flip it and go about minning.
I also found that using two fingers to pull the stack up when it gets low when holding the Iphone upright was almost always what would cause it to crash when I was trying to lvl.

I've been playing since the update hit and I've yet to have a crash.
a few graphical glitches, lagging, and sound issues but that's about it.
Did I just jinx myself? =/

I am using the iPod touch 8 gb purchased from 1.1.4 firmware. I got a bootleg 2.0 firmware from version 1.1.5. It has worked fine for the few weeks I have had it. Not one crash, unless my battery has died. I think that all the errors are from people illeterate to iPod touch or are people getting one random error but soooo many one persons get one random error it makes it look like a frequent event.

I have a new 16gb iphone stocked with a ton of apps. I do not use PUSH. The first time I played the game it went for about an hour before crashing. I have to delete the program and dowload it again for it to work, then it only works for about 20 minutes before crashing. I have had infinite mining problems were I can not exit or level up. Also I have experienced super slow/near frozen menu prompts. I also have problems even getting a fresh install to launch. How do I retrieve logs for u? I am willing to help anyway I can, I would love to get back to playing. On side note I would play $8.99 for this game.

You are absolutely right. That is when it does it the most, well 90% of the time.... and I too do the same "turn it upside down" but it still does it. today it crashed while building a blueprint... well in and case danielle got us covered... Right? ;D

Two finger swiping to get more rows is usually when mine crashes too.
I have an idea. You could implement a semi-secret debug mode that would generate output that could help you guys to figure out what goes wrong with everything. Don't know if Apple would allow it, but it's worth a shot with all these crashes.

I have a 1st gen iPhone 16GB, with the newest version of AF, and I get frequent freezes. I'm not sure if it's related, but I also have about 18 app store apps loaded, and a few others that I have installed and deleted.
Usually, the crash occurs during a screen transition, but on occasion, it happens in the mine too.
How do I recover the crash logs? I would be happy to submit them to you, but I know nothing about them.
**Edit** Nevermind. I see the other thread with the instructions now.

I think that all the errors are from people illeterate to iPod touch... Oh, really? I'd like to point out the irony, but I think I'll just leave it as an "inside joke."
