Pros and cons of Shovel Pro app for iPhone and iPad

Shovel Pro app good for

Really cool app, but it would be nice to be able to view in landscape.
You can now digg and bury stories. Worth 3 bucks easy. Make it happen.
We can digg and bury and thats good , but still we need to comment . We are waiting anyway , np keep up the good work ! Worth 3$ easly
Finally Diggs helping us all out...Now its really worth the money. Now just come on comments! P.S I really miss the old icon :( please bring it back or make a cooler one
I would give this app more stars if this app was stable. This app really needs a update to keep it stable. This app does exactly what I want to do but crashes everytime I use it.
Slick app. Just doesnt post to Facebook like it should, for your 5th star

Some bad moments

Whats the use to have the ability to look at diggs but cant interact with others. It just causes more frustration than its worth!!
Great app the UI is clean and easy to maneuver when Digg enables the ATI this will be bomb
They seriously need to fix the Facebook sharing feature. Will bump up my rating when they do.
I went to the developers site and there is no way to contact the developer with bugs or suggestions. Thats one thing that drives me nuts. Im experiencing app crashes and this app does not support Twitter intergration. Why? Nice app but no one to contact for support.
Its a good program but I really hate how it forces you to do unnecessary OS updates! Really, is there a good reason for this program to REQUIRE 3.1.3 instead of 3.1.2 or even 3.1??? Stop doing this!!!
First of all, I used this app over any other digg app; especially the official one. That is, I did until the update that no longer supported 3.1.2 iPhone OS. I have no intention to upgrade to 3.1.3 so now Shovel Pro wont even install on my phone. Why MUST I run a minor OS release for this to work? I NEED Shovel back. Any chance of adding support back in for 3.1.2?
