Hi Ward, I've been using the Chase app, or at least most of its functions for a couple of years and have never had a problem with it. One thing that I've never tried, though, is scanning a picture of a check using the Chase app and depositing it into my account. I seem to recall hearing

Kobo Books

Hi, This morning I rode to work with a lady who told me that Kobo books are very popular around the world, one simple reason being that when you purchase a Kobo book you actually own it instead of owning a license to read it, as you do with, say, Nook or Kindle books. I downloaded the Kobo

Hi, I've had no major problems with Pandora lately, either, aside from being unable to sort my station names in alphabetical order and put them in a list view. Are you running the free or paid version? Sounds like it could be an issue with connecting to the server. Do you have a strong,

Hi, Yeah, that's a bug that introduced in the first release of IOS 7. It's still around in IOS 7.0.4. If you're having this problem, go into Settings, then General, and reset all settings. You won't lose data, but you'll have to reconfigure a few things. Once that's done, take volume out

Hi Jeffrey, I updated Pandora right around the time that I updated to IOS 7, a couple of months ago or so. The table index disappeared then, and, it seems to me, the station listing is in a grid view and isn't sorted alphabetically. What's worse, I can't find any setting for the old-style
