What's new in Version 4.2.2
The following issues have been addressed in this new version:
-Fixed a new memory leak exposed by changes to iOS4.2. This should fix performance issues many users have been seeing since the latest iOS update.
-Fixed the application's behavior when it's locked on certain screens. The application should now behave perfectly when being locked or restored from the background.
-Fixed a case where users with an apostrophe in their name couldn't view their personal data while offline.
We really appreciate all of the positive feedback in the iTunes store. Thank you!
