Still broken
I guess it’s like beating a dead horse. I don’t know how many detailed, step-by-step instructions I have sent to support, I even sent a video recording of the issue, they are unable to fix the memory leak problem - for some reason. What makes this interesting is that it is right there, in front of you. All you have to do is use the app!
Are they testing it on a new device / OS and the old device is outdated? Is that what the problem is? In which case, why would the system specs include “iOS 7”?
1. Go to the Network tab.
2. Select a video feed. (Start from the very top and work yourself down one video after another from “A” to “Z”)
3. Wait until the video feed loads and start playing.
4. Tap the Back button to go back to the list of feeds.
5. Select the next video in the list.
Starting from the list of feeds “A” in the Network tab, by the time you get down to “B” in alphabetical order, the TableView response will significantly slow down to the extent that the response time from the moment you tap on a list item to the moment you actually advance to the feed view will be around 2 seconds. Use this above steps on an iPad in landscape view.
At this point, when you switch to the Map view, the map will not display. It will display a few falling pins and then it will stop and the whole app will lock up.
1. Delete the app.
2. Reboot the device.
3. Re-download the app.
4. Reboot the device.
Same issue.
This has been a problem since last year September-ish, when an update completely broken the app and introduced this memory leak. You can’t view more than 20-25 cams because after that many views, you simply have to kill and restart the app.
Apparently this bug is impossible to fix for over 6 months. Very sad. VERY SAD indeed. I certainly appreciate the updates (although I am not sure if they are actually making an effort to fix this bug), but it is not succeeding.
iPad 3 / iOS 7.1.2
