Public Beta of Version 11.1 with better Siri integration

After the issue with the "Lookup Stop by Route", I want to try out the next version with a public beta, as we were not able to even reproduce that problem, so I think the more people that try it the better.

So, this is an opportunity to try out the next version, and if it doesn't work you can go back to one in the Apple store. Yay!

Here is the Apple link to the public beta.

This uses an Apple app called Test Flight which will allow you to download the new version.

Have fun!

Version 11.0.2 appears to fix that hang!

According to reports from users,  that last version has fixed the hang.  Normal service shall now be resumed...

Phew! That was tricky. Happy dance time. Thanks again for contacting me! pic.twitter.com/IDlMNnGc9s

Version 11.0.2 :-(

So we still have the hang-from-hell.  I'm not able to reproduce it,  but looking at the place where it hangs based on the pictures,  my guess is that I ran into an issue with threads deadlocking (see this tweet!)

I think I have it. This atrocity probably, maybe, hopefully is where @pdxbus has its annoying deadlock. I never see it, but this does smell just right, as I was doing it wrong, which will cause random hangs. https://t.co/bvZh18gr7y

So I hope to have yet another version up to Apple very soon, and once they have reviewed it then we can all try it out.

Version 11.0.1 :-(

Version 11.0 had a few issues.  It does not load on iOS 8 and 9.  Had to fix that. (This was because I put in a change near the end that I forgot to double check would work on those old OSes).  #candobetter

Some users are reporting issues with it hanging.  Specifically on "Lookup stop by route".  I still don't know what is causing that, I did find a little bug on that page though.

I have submitted Version 11.0.1 to Apple... so hopefully in a few days things will be a little better.
