stanza freezes while pinching to zoom

I use Stanza on an iPhone 3GS 30GB. It used to work fine but recently it's been giving me problems. I.m not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I updated to version 1.9 recently. Now it keeps hanging when I try to zoom in and out of pages by pinching. This is even happening on the Welcome to Lexcycle Stanza! book. It freezes on the pages when I pinch to zoom. If I press the home button on the iPhone to get out of the program, and then click on stanza again I get a black screen. I have to reboot my phone to get it working again but the same thing keeps happening. Has anyone else had this problem?

We're not able to reproduce

We're not able to reproduce that problem at all. If you reset Stanza's settings (by going to the top-level "Library" screen, tapping the gears icon in the upper-right corner, tapping the settings button, and then scrolling to the bottom and tapping "Reset All Settings" and then restarting Stanza), are you still able to reproduce the freeze? Also, if you use the F+ and F- buttons instead (which you can add to your toolbar by tapping the "..." button which reading the book, tapping "Edit", and dragging the "F+" and "F-" buttons to the toolbar), does it ever freeze? Or does it only happen when pinching & zooming?

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply. Resetting all settings and then restarting Stanza didn't work. I went into a book and flipped through a few pages. As soon as I pinched to zoom, it froze. I restarted the phone and tried the F+ and F- option. This seems to work fine. Thanks for the suggestion.

When I'm done reading all the books I have stored, I may try to uninstall and install stanza to see if the pinching problem persists.
