Lexulous, 1.2?

Gah. I don’t even want to get into it. The “update” of Lexulous downgraded me to 1.2 from 1.3.

Still crashes. Still requires multiple clicks to play:

  1. Place tiles.
  2. Click Play.
  3. Click to get rid of the “ensure you are connected to the internet” message.
  4. Click Play. Hope the application doesn’t crash.

I’m not particularly happy about it, but I should have been watching during the download to avoid getting downgraded.

Lexulous as a service has been having troubles, lately, too. I’ve had several of my friends’ names disappear from the Facebook site – they are changed to “Facebook User” and their user numbers are displayed in-game.

Sure, it’s annoying. But the problem that’s worse is that these “blank” names cause the software to crash on the iPhone. The application simply closes. While playing a string of games, I can’t play my tiles and click Next – the application exits if it hits a blank player. So I’ve got to go backwards to the game list, and skip my neglected “blank” friends.

I hope Lexulous 1.4 is coming soon. I’ve written them offering to be a beta tester and asking about the expected release date of 1.4, but they don’t have information to give me, nor do they seem to require outside beta testers.
