App Crash While Writing Comments
Twice while trying to add comments to items, the app has crashed. (And Capitol Coffee House deserves a good review)

Inappropriate?Hi Jon, this is bad news, I'm sorry to hear it.
I wonder if you could possibly describe the exact process and context (edge? 3G? wifi? iPod? iPhone? - did it crash while adding a photo? or right when you hit the "plus" button?) -
Inappropriate?Wifi on the first gen iPhone while trying to hit the plus button

Inappropriate?I've had similar problems. I know that's not a detailed description and don't expect this post to be particularly useful (sorry). We've discussed the idea of being able to create draft markers. That idea is particularly important to guard against problems like this.
There is something very (very) deflating about composing a detailed description just to lose it all right before saving. It's painful.
Keep in mind that markers can be edited in Platial after they are created. You may want to add a detailed description later to avoid the possibility of losing it.
The bundled apps seem to be particularly good at preserving data in the event of a crash or if you inadvertently switch out of the app. Both Notes and Mail will keep a message you're writing through a restart. You could type your descriptions using Notes or Mail, while you're in the moment, and then add them to your markers later.
It's enough of a problem that the developers may want to be pretty aggresive about preserving a marker as it is created. Jason, did this topic come up at the iPhone dev event you attended recently?
I can think of some hack solutions but don't know enough about iPhone/iPod Touch platform to know what's possible.
