Great points John! I am 'i"-less, living in an Android world such as it is, so I am unable to assist in helping improve the user experience. I'm all in when we make the jump to supporting Android devices in the same way. 73, Grant On Mon, Oct 22, 2012 at 1:14 PM, JRS <jrs@hamradio.us.com> wrote:

Searching for the App in the App Store does not work, if the search is for "qst." The search has to be for "qst ", ie, "q s t space".
Might want to work with Apple to make it easier to find.
If you search for "arrl", the QST App is the 29th App listed. An awful lot of crap is listed by Apple under the search term "ARRL." Since that is a trademark, we might want to stop Apple from using "arrl" as a generic locator for other people's Apps.

Hi,****
** **
We have just added the new iOS app for digital *QST *to the iTunes store. While it is available now for all members, will not be publicizing it until we make sure that it works correctly. We are asking any Board Members, SMs or staff (along with a few other selected testers) who have an iOS device to try to app and let us know how it is working. We are aware of one know bug with Facebook sharing. This has been reported and is being worked on.****
** **
For information on obtaining and using the app, see the information below that we will be sending to members in a week or two. ****
** **
If you have any questions, you can direct them to Magdalena (Magz) Owczarska at W1MGZ@arrl.org who is coordinating the launch of the application.****

Thanks for your help.****
