So with the update of iTunes 8.2, comes iPhone crash reports. In the unfortunate event that the Inside Redbox App crashes on you, your crash report will automatcially be sent to us so we can diagnose the problem and fix in a future release. It seems that 51% of the crashes in the reports that I’m seeing right now do have a workaround. The issue is with the tabs. In version 1.0 there were 6 tabs whose layout you could customize. In version 1.0.1 there are now just 4 tabs. For those that customized the layout of the tabs, there is a bug in the app that will cause the app to crash upon launch. There is a workaround for this bug. Uninstall the app and then reinstall the app–this will clear the tab layout settings. In the meantime I will diligently address this issue in a future version of the app along with other crashing issues that I recieve in the crash reports.

Thanks for your patience while we work to improve our app!

Hey all, great news. We have come to an amicable resolution with Redbox, and we are pleased to reintroduce app again. Our app is back in the app store. Redbox has changed their API, so you’ll notice that the original app crashes now. We have just released an updated version that works with the new Redbox API. For those that have purchased the Pro version you can upgrade to the newest pro version for free.

Free version (ad supported):
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=302957268&mt=8&s=143441

Pro version (rent from within app):
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=306217360&mt=8&s=143441

Also, some new features:

- movie list sorting

- machine names (Machine A, B. c, etc.) in the kiosk listing and map view

- checkout is now handled as a webpage within the app instead of closing the app. Also, new webpage layout from redbox makes the checkout process easier

- Make sure set your redbox email address in the settings, this will autopopulate on the redbox login page–one less thing to type when renting a movie.

Also, we are actively working on new features for the 3.0 update, including much faster map loading with the updated maps in 3.0 SDK
