Thanks for the feedback!

LooptChris replied on November 17, 2009 22:42 to the idea "Version 2.0: Stale status updates from friends" in Loopt:

The status update threshold has been noted as a possible feature addition.

You can still see when a friend last signed on in the Friend list and map views. It shows last status as well as last location. Last location is right under their name, and last checkin/status is just under that. Go to Friend tab to view the list, and then tap the Globe in the upper right for the Map view.

Hi,

We will consider adding a refresh button for location. Right now, it's set to refresh itself periodically while in the application or whenever you launch it.

Hi Jared,

Thanks for the note! We're aware of this issue. There are some tweaks we need to make with the Android 2.0 API for this feature. We will release an update soon that resolves it.

Thanks,

LooptChris replied on November 17, 2009 22:35 to the question "bb tour not updating" in Loopt:

Hi,

This is caused by some GPS and location issues with Verizon BlackBerry devices. We will release an update soon that should address this issue and allow for more accurate location.

LooptChris replied on November 17, 2009 22:34 to the question "Constantly share your location online?" in Loopt:

Hi,

You won't be able to share "live" location (like a bouncing dot on a map), but you can share updates along the way via our RSS feature. Each time you login to Loopt and post a status, it will let anyone with access to your RSS feed see your status update and your location. To enable the RSS feature and obtain the link, visit the address below on a computer, and login to your Loopt account.

A comment on the question "How do I change my AIM screen name?" in Loopt:

Hi. The AIM feature is being phased out of Loopt, so unless you have an older version of Loopt, you will not be able to use the AIM integration in the Loopt Settings menu.

LooptChris replied on November 16, 2009 02:04 to the question "why wont my droid recieve sms pings? only recieves email pings" in Loopt:

Hi,

Without checking the account, I'm guessing that your original Loopt account was registered under another wireless company, so we're still probably trying to send your Pings and SMS messages through the other wireless company. To fix this, please visit http://support.loopt.com on your computer, choose the option to change your number, and enter your current phone number in both the old and new number fields. It will send you an SMS and update your carrier info.

Thanks,
Chris

Joseph - If you go to www.loopt.com/help and scroll down to FAQ #3 (under the GetSatisfaction "Report a Problem" box), FAQ #3 still has all our cost info and is up to date. It's titled "How much does Loopt cost?" If there's any particular info you're looking for, let me know and I'll be happy to answer.
