The first update put paid to a lot of the lurking bugs (i had the app crashing when notification centre was brought down twice and a couple of times when I did the pinch to zoom thing).
Anyhow I've noticed that you can't play your animation unless someone else has first, which I think is a bug... Anyone else noticed anything useful to the DQ team?

Sometimes the activity feed doesn't show new posts by people I'm following.
Nothing major, but it feels like the activity feed is a bit wonky and unreliable.

When that happens, even if you go into the person's profile page the 'missing drawing(s)' don't immediately come up either.
Then days later when I open the person's profile page to check up if I've missed any, they'll pop up...

Yeah, I m having the same issues with the activity feed not showing drawings of people I follow!
Also, I m having issues with undo and what I like to call phantom strokes( dun dun duuuun).I don't know how to explain it, but It happens when I press undo, but the stroke I wanted to undo stays there. I can draw then and finish up but the mark stays there, and then it goes away once I submit the drawing.

It only happens if I've zoomed in though. |

I always crash when I try to log off, and I've noticed the undo is really slow, I'll try to undo the smallest of mark and it will take a minute for it to do it...

Having those issues. Some other issues -  When I try to make a curve(U) type design it will continue to draw a straight line. Whether I erase it, color it or undo it. Once in awhile as I am starring drawings I'll get kicked out of the DQ site completely. Not as often as it did before. Thanks dqers for all the advice and info you post. |

I keep getting the curve glitch too. Lately, I'll load the new quest and it keeps giving me the old quest.  |

Btw, if anyone has really bad lag or the activity feed hasn't updated at all in hours, try restarting the app (double tap the home button and close DQ app). That usually helps me if I encounter those issues  |

Seems I'm getting kicked out from DQ site more, when looking or starring drawings. Some drawings are not loading and others are taking long, while trying to star them. I try signing out then wait for a while before logging in again. Still have the issues and others I've written about. |

My #1 gripe: undo is impossibly slow. I'm starting to try and tailor my drawings so that I can erase or color over mistakes, rather than undoing, because undo is so aggravating. I'm a little embarrassed by the picture I posted recently complaining about undo, but I'd just had to destroy a work in progress because I couldn't bear to spend 10 minutes undoing a decision I had made, and it wasn't going to be possible to erase or color over it. Definitely a heartburn moment. I sent an email to DQ yesterday, too, in which I tried to be level-headed and reasonable about it my complaint. All I really want to know is how much longer we have to wait. An opaque development process makes every little bug seem worse, because it feels like you may have to live with it forever. |

I find it very difficult to wait forever for undo to undo as well. Hope they hurry and fix it |

 So bummed. I spent a lot of time on this one and ..... A- it won't upload. B- I have to cancel the drawing in order to do anything else. The DQ powers say that the next update should fix this bug. They say that update won't be avail for at least two weeks. Boo :/ So, I deleted and I'm moving on. Tomorrow is a new day! Love this Orem and reading everyone's thoughts and ideas! Attachments:

 . I hate the undo as it takes soooo long. My DQ gets frozen when it's loading a profile page or I try to scroll either sideways or up-down. That is the main reason i haven't been able too see people's drawings. Not sure if it is also a problem with my wifi, which seems to cut out often when I'm on DQ (but not much on Internet or getting my mail). If I switch to system to check the wifi, when I go back to DQ, it crashes. Does anyone know much about wifi problem-solving? Downloading a profile can take several minutes. I only had one problem free experience for a few hours one day (~2-5 a.m. PDST) - instant downloading! The rest of the time on the app is frustratingly slow. I'd like a save button too.

I think the app freezing when loading profiles, drawings is quite common. Generic quick fixes are usually closing all background apps including DQ, restarting DQ, logging into DQ again... The first 2 work for me most of the time, especially if I'm trying to view a profile or load a page and all I get is the gray background. Though at times it's really just the amount of traffic on DQ at that point in time. I reckon the problem-free time you mentioned is DQ's 'off-peak' hours, because that's my regular playing time and I rarely have any problems then. ;D If it is really your wifi, then there should be a pop-up about the connection. Not really sure about that bit though, sorry! |

If the app is freezing/sluggish while loading profiles, drawings, then chances are you need to clear its cache by signing out and logging back in.
I can't seem to 'fix' this by exiting DQ or even restarting the ipad..

Leosketchy is your last comment having to do with a drawing that is stuck in your account? I have a drawing that I cannot upload, takes forever to appear and I cannot exit out of it (cancel it) either :/. I am going to try to,delete the app and re-install it
