Believe me, I verified my router settings, the M1XEP configuration, and the app settings at least 5 times. The 1.1 version simply did not work for me. I confirmed that the alarm app I have on my iPod Touch worked just fine with the same settings, so I know it wasn't my setup.
The good news is I have just downloaded your update 1.2 and tested it with the secure port, external IP address, and login information and now it appears to be working perfectly! Whatever bugs you had that prevented me from connecting to my panel have been resolved and now the app works as advertised. I thank you for your quick response in getting an update out there for those of us trying to use your app. It is much appreciated. I also appreciate you sending an email to all users letting them know about the update and your apology for the inconveniences. That definitely shows good faith and I commend you for that. I was a little disappointed that almost everything else besides arming & disarming is going to require users to purchase separate & multiple plugins. I guess I didn't read the description carefully enough and didn't realize that. That's okay, though -- I only really needed to be able to arm and disarm my alarm panel, so it does what I need it to do, and for a reasonable price. I probably would not buy any of the plugins. I know the $9.99 is a temporary price and you intend to raise the price in March. I think $9.99 is about the right price for what you get in the base application. If I were you, I'd keep it at that price unless you plan to include more functionality. Just my opinion for whatever it's worth. Anyway, thanks again for the bug fixes.
