Balloons!

   I've noticed that when viewing a caught balloon, the "In:" field that gives the location of the launcher is sometimes truncated with a ... at the end of the field. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I can't seem to get this field to expand so that I can read the rest of the location information. In some international locations, I've noticed I may not be familiar with the city name, and need to see the rest of the field to even know what part of the world the balloon has traveled!

   If this is not a current feature, it would be a great addition!

   Thanks for a great app!

   Also, would it be possible to allow the user to define the level of location details given? Balloons written from my home give my postcode(tmi) but not my country!

   Keep up the great work!

   Thanks for the feedback!

   Balloons! records the latitude and longitude of the launch and then uses Google's reverse geocoding service to come back with a location so we're a bit at the mercy of what Google sends us back. We're striving to improve the usefulness of the location name without being too accurate (to protect privacy)!
