I haven't upgraded to iOS4 yet and downloaded the FarmVille app. The first couple of times I opened it fine and was able to see the "tutorial" as well as play. Then for the next two days when I tried to open the app, I received an error message telling me that there was an issue with loading my farm. Then, all of a sudden, it worked fine again.
I've read the reviews at the App Store, and seen a couple of remarks on FarmVille Freak (unofficial fan site) - users are complaining that the app is slow, "jerky" (as far as movements), and many users can not open the app. (As a side note, thinking that there was something wrong with my iPhone 3G, I uninstalled and reinstalled FarmVille for iPhone at least a half dozen times.
Just like the online FarmVille game, the iPhone app needs tweaking to make it work all the time and to make it work more smoothly. You might want to go to www.zynga.com and go to their forums and voice your concerns there. It is a good site, lots of help from other users - there is a section for iPhone apps - and if you can't resolve your issue, you can report your problem directly to Zynga.
iPhone apps
I have an upgraded iPhone 3GS to ios 4. I downloaded the new Farmville app and it won't even open. Is this app for the pure iPhone 4 too, just like iMovie?This is getting upsetting. I've only hadj phone a couple of months and was told by AT&T at the time that the then upcoming upgrade to ios 4 would make my phone do everything the new phone would do. Now this is the second app I've wanted in the last week that only works with the pure iPhone 4.
I paid $399 for my iPhone too because it wasn't time to renew yet, and I still had to sign a two year extension including the extra monthly charge for internet. I'm feeling like I got ripped off.
