Thanks Adrian, much appreciated.
It’s taken a while to get to this place – as you know.

We’ve got a programme of new things that we’ll be able to talk about soon. Which include updates and expansion of the app.

However, I think it does exactly what it says on the tin and on the whole works well.

Thanks to everyone who gave us feedback for your patience and your support,

Mal

I was looking forward to this app, but unfortunately I’m experiencing a lot of crashes when I try to use it.

Hi Anne,
There was a problem with the My Blockbuster option – actually due to an issue with the blog. Appreciate your patience. This should be fixed right now.

We also have a small update going live tomorrow. This will clean up a couple of things, and add in a New to Blu-ray section for people who just want to see Blu-ray.

Thanks,
Mal
