Giant Bomb iPhone App Updated

Many Bothans died bringing us this update.


To update... well you know. 
To update... well you know. 
As promised, there is now a free update to the Giant Bomb iPhone app available through the app store button on your iPhone / iPod. New buyers will get the updated version automatically. Thanks for everyone's patience with this, we know the "25 more videos" problem was especially crippling for a lot of Endurance Run fans. This update includes the following fixes.   

  • Fixed a crash when loading 25 more items.
  • Added a big fat "Play attached video" button on news stories that contain a GB video.
  • Replaced the lower video icon.
  • Fixed a crash when switching from new releases before it finished loading to search, then back again.
  • Fixed a crash in search when scrolling through search items whilst another search was in progress.
  • Fixed incorrect date ordinals (no more 12nd etc) in New Releases.
  • Changed the date format in New Releases to include day of week.
  • Narrowed the initial new release date window so that more current games are displayed.
  • The sort order for game specific vids is now newest to oldest.
  • We are now targeting iphone os 2.2.1 instead of 3.0 for those who may not have upgraded yet.

Personal apologies on that last one. I know we had some iPod Touch users go through the process of upgrading their OS through Apple just for the app so we're sorry we weren't aware of Apple's pricing traps beforehand. We'll continue to update the app with fixes and features as long as there is demand for it. Feel free to give us the heads up if you notice anything out of sorts.
