I also forgot that you can send your recs to your Face Book page or Twitter. However: with the old app we cannot do this now we have to go back into the items page and then rerec it so that it goes to our Twitter and F.B. We also cannot read any massages that are on our wall since this was added during the last update. It also does not show the correct prices when doing a search on some web sites till you get into the web site and read about the product.
