Instant Queue Add V7 update

Apple approved V7 a few days ago, with iOS4 support, and more than 10,000 updates have happened in the first few days. Some glitches in the Netflix API on Monday prevented apps from authorizing, and this broke IQ+, and caused some one-star bad reviews.

The iPad compatible update for IQ+ is going to be a major re-write. There are a few simple changes to Actors for Netflix that will probably get done first.

Instant Queue Add is moving up the App Store lists

It's hovering around 75th spot in the Paid Apps in Entertainment list, and has moved ahead of two other apps to become the leading paid Netflix app! More than 10,000 users have upgraded to V6 since Monday, and the average rating for V6 is three stars, up from 2.5 stars for V5. Many thanks to all the users, and enjoy the Oscars tonight... [Update: During the Oscars broadcast IQ+ made it as high as 64th place.]

Please rate/review IQ+ V6

IQ+ Version 6 was approved March 2nd

Apple has a much faster turnaround nowadays, less than one business day, thanks Apple! The flood of customers updating the app has started, any bugs or issues, please post comments here.

App-store issues

I submitted V6 to the app store and set a start date a few days into the future. A side effect of this is that V5 was suspended from the app store for Sunday through Monday morning. The way App's are updated makes it look as if some things are private to the version of the app being modified, but they affect the old version as well. Apologies to anyone who was looking for Instant Queue Add for Netflix yesterday.

IQ+ Version 6 has been submitted to Apple

The RSS feed and landscape view changes are working fine, the app is now also more robust to timeouts and failures when calling into Netflix over flaky network connections.

Unfortunately I still can't make the underlying Netflix API operation needed to re-sort the queue work, and I'm going to debug that over the next few weeks and submit an update when it works.

Turn-around times for the App Store review process have been much faster recently, according to several reports, so we will see how long it takes.

Top 100 Status
