FarmVille for iPhone is Croppy

In order to supplement the time needed in the evening to catch up with the social network games, I have been using my iPhone to farm my crops to and from work. The app itself is simpler than the web version, and in some cases it is also faster. In the web version, you have a little farmer avatar that needs to walk to the plot to harvest and plant, but on the iPhone, they just start harvesting themselves. This would be all fine and well if you didn't have to attempt to do it 2 or 3 times, which brings me to its faults.

If you do not have perfect 3g connection, you will find yourself in the same boat as me. Time and time again, I will get home from work, login to FarmVille, and see that not a single crop has been harvested from the morning. After being burned several times, I now harvest and replant my crops, manually shutdown the app, restart the app, and see if the changes actually took effect or if I have to attempt to do it all over again.

The only silver lining, is that when it works, its the only Zynga app that actually connects to your Facebook FarmVille farm, instead of creating a new one that only lives on your Phone.
