    Call kit integration is fantastic! Really liking this when I'm away from my desk.

     

    However, one thing that is really bugging me is that the app is so unreliable at staying open and active in the background.

     

    Take the Three InTouch app. It has an option to force the Wi-Fi connection to stay alive. It uses more battery, but it really does keep the app running all the time. SfB seems to be culled from memory all the time, meaning I have to remember to open it before I leave my desk, just in case!

    Hi Richard, how to get the iOS 6.10 version? It seems I can find no more SfB in my TestFlight program. Thank you, Roberto
