Why am I getting Connection error 109 and 110 messages on my BlackBerry when I try to use the Rider App?top

Connection type errors are most often caused from two reasons, having an older version of the app installed or by an incorrect permissions setting on your device.

Please ensure you have the latest version installed on your device by visiting the app's installation page on the BlackBerry App World. http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/3676

Once you have ensured your app is up to date, please try the following:
Go to the device Options screen and select Applications (this may be under the Advanced Options setting depending on the type of BlackBerry device you are using).  Your device will display the message "Building applications list...".  When it has finished, scroll down to the entry for The Rider App and press the BlackBerry key to open the menu.  Select Edit Permissions and ensure all options are set to Allow then press the Back key to save your settings and exit this screen.

The Rider App is compatible with all versions of the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch running OS 2.0 or later, BlackBerry device running OS 4.5 or later and Android devices running OS 1.6 or greater.
