Login problems?

A couple of days ago, the DnD 4e Compendium got a review in the App Catalog from Shawn M, who marked it zero because he was unable to log in - and I'd like to address his complaint here, since the App Catalog doesn't provide me with any way to respond to comments internally.
Very DISAPPOINTED!!! I have an account but it still won't let me login nor see any information. POOR APP!!!

The Compendium app itself doesn't actually handle any login information at all. Once you've chosen to view an item, the app launches the phone's browser, and user authentication is handled by the Wizards.com website, over which I have no control.

If you have any trouble logging into the Wizards of the Coast website, you should contact their technical support, because unfortunately I'm not able to do anything about it.

DnD 4e Compendium 0.4.9

The latest version of the DnD 4e Compendium for webOS has been submitted for release, and should be available for download in the next couple of hours.


New features
  • Filtered searches now allow Cost and XP limits to be provided for Items, Rituals and Monsters.
  • A few under-the-hood improvements.

Known issues
  • Searches can cause hangs if there are a large number of results. Be as specific as possible when searching to avoid this - search titles only, or use the filters to narrow down the results. Don't try to get a list of every power, item or monster.

Upcoming features
At the moment, the focus is on improving the core functionality of the app so that I can get it to a point where I'm happy submitting it to the full App Catalog, so there won't be any major new features. That said, feel free to leave a comment or send an email if there's something you'd like to see improved or added.
