Unfortunately I don't know if he's technical enough to do proper debugging on this. He lives in Europe somewhere and there's a language barrier between us, so it can be challenging to understand him sometimes. He's gone as far as rebooting his router, but he just tells me that I should give up on developing my app until I can fix this problem. I don't really know what to do about it or why he's having so much trouble.
I can't make too much sense out of this, but this is what he has said: Please believe me…. > > We are losing time!!! > > There is something going realy wrong with Cloudant > > Even nearby suffers > > >> Losing internet every +- 1 hour > > Going over to G4 without doing anything…. > > >> Losing even wifi…(in your house) > > >> Reseting rooter… > > >> Speedtest on Mac stays mostly OK > > Speedtest on Devices is complytly zero > > >> Sometimes on devices… > > >> Less times on Mac…. > > >> It does not work for your future app!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! > > >> We are trying to make something nice & new but based on “Sync” …..
