Joey, Oh my :-( I have this love/hate feeling about Apple; they make such nice devices but have this need to force you into their straightjacket. I really hope that Eric finds the time to at least *try* to get Apple to permit sharing. It's a step backwards for J on the iPhone -- I'll have to

I've just upgraded my old iPhone 4S to a new 6 Plus. It's still small enough to fit in my pocket, and the extra screen real estate makes running J nicer. Of course the new phone comes with the current version of iOS: 8.4. Thinking it would be the easiest way to move files in and out of J, I purc
