| Seriously screwing up phones | "DX" (Droid X?) is the only information I have about this issue | 1.0.0 | 1.0.0.1 | Due to the sudden and strong bad reviews from this issue, the app has been pulled from the Market until this issue can be fixed. If you would like to help eliminate this issue and get Voice Notify back on the Market quickly, please contact me! |

| App List jumps to top when enabling/disabling an app | Not an SDK issue | 1.0.0 | ||||
| Some apps have repeating notifications that can be very annoying | Not an SDK issue | 1.0.0 | 1.0.1 | One such app is TweetDeck while sending an update. Best workaround for 1.0.0 is to ignore the app, at the expense of none of the app's notifications being spoken. |
