iOS integrated solution for iPhone not working properly

Hi, I'm integrating the iOS solution for iPhone and when doing some initial quick testing I had the following problems:

*Google +1 and Google+ Badge shows error message "you supplied an invalid value for the parameter 'dest'
*AddThis Menu, Address Bar, Facebook Comment, Facebook Like and Facebook Uncomment services also returnes the above message. Are these services even relevant for iPhone, should they show at all??
*Messenger showed a white screen only
*Gmail also shows large interface and it is not even possible to pan, same for Google bookmarks
*Orkut redirects to an error message
*Blogger, Delicious, Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon and many more showed a much to large interface (most likely optimized for iPad or PC) Tumblr also shows a really big interface

I gave up on Facebook and Twitter right away and did my own implementation… I did not test the other services, perhaps they work like a charm?


May I suggest the following when you claim to support something and peoples time will be taken up trying to integrate it:

*Do basic testing, any testing…?
*Remove services not applicable to the relevant platform.
*Demand that the services you support targets the platform in mind and that they deliver at least a decent user experience as this is required by our customers (i.e. your customer's customers).

Other suggestions:
Please consider adding support for posting both url and illustrative image as this is a common scenario with many of these services. Services that can not handle image could simply ignore it but still be available in the list.

Hope this feedback can be of some help. Sorry for the sarcastic tone.
