After my wife’s LG Ally updated to Froyo 2.2, her copy of Baby ESP stopped working — the icon turned into the default android, and every attempt to launch force-closed. Android Market said it was installed… but also wouldn’t launch. Turns out a number of other were having the same problem.
I’ve got a lot of complaints about the Android Market, so much so that I use the twitter hash-tag #AndroidMarketFail (maybe not often, but sometimes).
HOWEVER, this is a success story — because once you purchase an app through the market, you can uninstall it, and reinstall it for free. This is great, convenient, and no need to remember product or registration keys (all issues I’ve run into for desktop apps).
So, back to the problem. The app was in some sort of limbo after the OS update — it was there, but not working. So, Uninstall. Reinstall. Then it works. Hooray. Wife is happy, and all my diaper changes get tracked! (that is, the baby’s diapers that I changed!)
