Stat updates back up
Happy holidays!
Stat updates for Breakaway and now back online, the first update will be made overnight tonight. As usual, if anyone’s noticing certain players aren’t being updated, simply remove and re-add them to your teams.
Thanks for your patience!
Update on the update situation
Well folks, unfortunately the server issue regarding stat updates for Breakaway still remains. Time is short with the holidays fast approaching so, for the time being, i’ve decided to pull Breakaway from the App Store until I get this mess sorted out. Nobody wants to buy a broken app so I think this is the best solution for now.
Unfortunately this has also been cutting into my time spent on other projects, but I hope to get everything back on track soon.
Thanks for your patience!
Breakaway stat updates temporarily down
Hey everyone, just letting you all know that stat updates for Breakaway Fantasy Hockey are currently down. I don’t anticipate that it’ll take long to fix, but as of right now I can’t give a definitive ETA. This is a server-side issue, so you guys won’t have to wait for an app update to go through the review process.
I apologize for any inconvenience, i’ll keep everyone updated.
Missing Players?
Some users have complained that some players aren’t showing up as having any points even though they’re earning their stats. Well, after a few hours of digging into it, i’ve found the issue and it’s been corrected. Simple relaunch the app to download the fixed stat and roster updates. If any players show up as unavailable or with 0 points after the update, simply delete those players and re-add them.
As always, if anyone runs into any more issues send an email to support@kilotonapps.com and i’ll get on it asap.
Stat updates for Breakaway
Please ignore the user who just left me this wonderful one-star review on the app store:
Hockey season has now started and there’s no points. Save your 3 bucks! Doesn’t work!
Talk about impatient! The first game of the season just ended less than one hour ago!
Just a note to everyone, stat updates will be made once per day – barring any technical issues – at or around 2am EST. However, just because of this one, impatient person above who left me that wonderful review, i’ve just pushed an update a few minutes ago that confirms that, yes, Breakaway Fantasy Hockey works as advertised.
Enjoy!
Free version of Breakaway now available

What a launch…
Well folks, i’ve got some good news, some bad news, then some more good news.
Breakaway Fantasy Hockey was approved earlier today and is now available to download from the iTunes Store! This is my first app so it’s very exciting. What isn’t exciting, though, is finding out my app had a pretty nasty bug on it’s launch day. Seems that if there wasn’t an internet connection present it had a bad habit of occasionally crashing, and that wouldn’t be good for anyone.
I’ve isolated the problem, fixed the bug, and submitted the update to Apple just a few minutes ago so hopefully it should be available within the next few days. Breakaway Fantasy Hockey Lite should be available soon as well.
In other news, i’m hard at work on the next major update to Breakaway – v1.1 – so stay tuned for more info!
Coming Soon: Breakaway Fantasy Hockey
After a few months of development, i’m pleased to announce that i’ve submitted my very first iPhone/iPod Touch app. What is it? A hockey pool manager, where you’ll be able to create and manage your fantasy hockey teams and track how well your players are performing. It should go on sale within the next few weeks for $2.99… unless it gets rejected for some weird reason and i’m forced to resubmit. In any case, it should be up well before the start of the 2009/2010 NHL season.

Launch!
