Global Trade BUG

I am having a major issue with global trade hq.  Tech support is aware of it as I have sent a request in (quit laughing!) and posted this on Facebook.  Others are also having the same problem as ther...

    This bug was reported a few weeks back.  I don't remember if it was before or after the Mayor's contest update.  In that message he explained that it's only like then when you first go to the city and the screen opens to their inventory, but if you swipe off their inventory and open it again it shows the correct inventory.

    I do not believe it happens on all devices as I have yet to be able to duplicate it on my Droid Ultra.  Hopefully EA is working on it for you.  I just thought I'd offer what I knew about it, which isn't much.

    I'm wondering if this could be the difference between Android and Apple products?  Since Android uses Java and Apple uses Objective-C.  They functionally have two completely different versions of the same program to cover all devices.  One could be buggy while the other is not.

Thanks for the reply.  That seems to work, although I've noticed it carries forward to a 3rd city from time to time.  It's total BS that this has to be done.  If it was announced a couple of weeks ago, why hasn't this been fixed yet?  I appreciate your 'fix', but come on!   These guys make money off our using the program.  If we can't use it the way they say it should, then we don't pay the money.  Has EA taken the Microsoft model and just keep working on expansions, never fixing the bugs since only a part of the users are affected?  Pretty pi$$ poor business practice in my opinion.  It's not that hard. Go back to the code before the last 'update' of global trade and figure out what you screwed up and fix it!  It's that simple.  Fix it EA!

    I wouldn't go as far as to say that EA has taken the Microshaft model.  I do wish they would do more bug report acknowledgement.  At least let the person reporting know it is being worked on.  

    I actually like the apps more for not releasing updates weekly with everything little thing that is fixed, but instead fix or add a bunch of things at once and put out an update once a quarter.  That is assuming that the "fix" would require an update.  I've already got too many apps that seem to want to update every week.  I've gotten to the point that I turn off automatic updates so I can pick and choose which apps to update when.  Time will tell.  If it isn't fixed in the next update then it may be worth complaining about again.  Although, this doesn't affect me as it does you, so I can understand the frustration in the meantime.
