Post what 3rd party applications you have installed and used in IOS 5 beta and whether they seem fully functional or not.

I'm specifically interested in:

Apple Remote
Facebook
Foursquare
Flickit
BeejiveIM
Pandora


But post any you are using and your experiences with them.
 
facebook and beejive have keyboard issues for me. sometimes you can't see the keyboard but everything is scrolled up like the keyboard is there, and vanishes behind the invisible keyboard when you scroll down. tapping a couple of times to bring up and then hide the keyboard usually fixes it. with facebook i have had to kill its state and open it from scratch a couple of times. not sure if it's the OS or the apps.
 
good reader: u can't import video from camera roll, it will freeze up.

and sometimes typing in iOS5, when u type let's say letter "H", the keyboard will show letter "G" eventhough your finger is on the letter "H".
 
Pandora and facebook work.

Only things that haven't worked for me is crackle and netflix.
 
anyone tried tomtom, and tomtom with the car kit? I want to be able to hear the voice control voice come through my aux out and not the tomtom speaker, i'm sure it did in iOS 3
 
Netflix, HBO Go on iPhone not working. Some of my Big Fish games do not work on my iPad running iOs 5. Netflix and HBO Go also a no go on iPad.
 
The only thing more stupid than one thread about apps that don't work with the first beta is two threads.
 
I have noticed friended will ask for your facebook login again if it gets removed from your background applications.

Have checked with one of my apps that used FBConnect and removing it from the dock (closing it) and then re starting the facebook function in it, it does remember my details

Camera Sutra only uses one quarter of the screen.
Photosync crashes on launch.
UK Train Times crashes on launch (update already submitted)
 
Why does this matter if beta builds are not intended for daily use by the end-user? :confused:

3rd parties are certainly going to update their apps when iOS 5 GM hits the market.
 
new york times app no worky that good.

mlb at at works but will not play a live game in landscape mode. just replays work in landscape. the live games are just a tiny box when held upright and does nothing when you turn the phone to landscape
 
Anyone having any issues with FourSquare notifications in iOS 5 beta 2? They have stopped working for me (even after last night's app update).
 
Facebook & Pandora work fine.

Netflix & NY Times flat out don't work.

ESPN Scorecenter and NPR News don't populate properly.

Knowing iOS 5 isn't officially out yet, I'm not worried these won't be fixed by time it is.

Facebook doesn't work fine, when using gprs/edge/3G 90% of the time you cannot comment on things, it says 'no internet connection' :(
 
My facebook isn't working, I get an internet error all the time.

Remote doesn't work very well either. I have to exit out of all my applications and open and close the app itself to start clicking.
