Force closes in hurricane hound version 1.4

E-mail Print PDF

There are a number of errors being reported from the version (1.4) of Hurricane Hound Free available in the Amazon App store.  A number of these are related to having location turned on.  If you are experiencing persistent force closes on v1.4, try clearing application data, and then leave the "current location" option turned off.  We have submitted an update to the appstore, but it takes several days to get through the amazon review process.  In the meantime, you can download the latest version from the Android Market.

The paid version does not have these FC issues.
