Peek A Who Problem

[shriscean]

I've tried EVERY possible configuration of this app and it refuses to work. i'm waiting for the tech support guy to reply but in the meanwhile i'm pissed and judging by the feedback from others who bought it I'm not the only one. and if the developers fall upon this post how about no 10 second limit on the popup, and sms and IM popups as well. that might be wishful thinking because the app isn't even doing what it's suppose to at this point.

i cant get this app to work either, very frustrating as i was really looking forward to it. i could have bought that extra value meal instead and gotten some satisfaction. the developer put in some instructions for modifying the tcp settings, but i cant find any that work for me, as everything on my tcp screen is already filled out. i also dont want to screw up something else on my berry just to get this to work. i should have waited.

i feel your pain. i'm hoping someone with a lot more knowledge than me figures this one out.

Hey,

Just saw your blog post comment and responded there. Will respond here too. Here's the app in question for anybody reading:

Awesome App: PeeKaWho Email Popups for BlackBerry | CrackBerry.com

It seems with every new BlackBerry app these days there are some initial teething issues. Wouldn't necessarily blame the developer... it's almost a RIM thing it seems. So many carriers, so many devices, so many versions of operating systems. Despite tons of beta testing the real test comes when it hits the market. Sad but kinda true.

I'm sure the developer will get back to you quick... likely tomorrow though! You're probably posting past most people's bed times.

Also, if you look at the blog post, you'll see that free upgrades are covered for life, that include any potential bug fixes as well as feature upgrades (SMS coming down the road). Also - you're getting a deal buy buying early and putting up with some of these frustrations. Obviously would be better if it worked perfect for everybody instantly, but not always the case.

I've been using the app successfully as well as a ton of other people. Not sure what's going on with the few who are having issues. Seems to be either their APN settings aren't set up right (app connects to the internet to verify registration) or may be a conflicting 3rd party app that interferes with PeeKaWho.

I'm LOVING the app though. Apologies on frustrations... I'm sure the developer will get back to you soon and that things will be sorted out soon.

PS. Merged a couple threads together on this.

Running on a Telus 8330 with 4.3 and it's working great for me.

is it worth it though?

[Kevin Michaluk]

I install a LOT of apps. There's a lot of them I use for a bit, but then they fall off my daily use pattern to weekly to monthly to not at all.

This isn't so much an "application" as it is a utility. Once you're running it on your phone and have your preferences set the way you like them, it's in use all the time. And for me it's a pretty valuable utility. So totally love it. I receive tons of email everyday and am on my BB tons in various apps so I'm using it constantly. If you don't get a lot of email, or don't use your berry for too much other than email/phone/sms, there may not be as much value in it.

Comes down to the individual. If you wait till next week there should be a free trial of the app available by the sounds of it, so might be worth doing that if you're not sure. Try before you buy.

right on, thanks Kevin

shriscean and Cobra302,

There seems to be some problem with 8310 and 8320. We are looking into this. When we find a fix, we will post a new release.

Thanks for your understanding.

I'm also having problems. I can't activate because it's saying my activation code is incorrect, even though I'm sure I'm typing it in correctly. I have an 8330 running 4.5. GRRRRrrrrr...

[KOOLWATER]

Add me to that list... however I'm on a Verizon 8830 with OS 4.2.2

This app would be the coolest (especially when they add sms) if I could just get it to work...

[martinrrrr]

I am running 4.5.0.81 on ATT Curve 8310 w/o any problems and as Kevin said, it's utility is great, I love it.
