Ribbit - Slow connections

Hi Ben and anyone interested. The completed Ribbit app from "Self-destructive message app" tutorial has very slow response when it involves internet connection (e.g. refreshing inbox messages, sending messages, refreshing friendlist...). I'm just wondering if this is caused by 1. My Wifi connection (less likely) or 2. Free Parse membership restriction or 3. Our code is not optimised for server connection yet and we will deal with this in later tutorials or 4. It's just my phone (iphone 4S running ios7). Please let me know if anyone else is experiencing this or has an explanation. Thanks heaps, Tuan

I haven't had any slow connections myself from various places, so it shouldn't be related to Parse or the code. Your device also should be fine as that's what I developed it on. Do you experience any lag when visiting the Data Browser in Parse.com from your computer?

Hi Ben. Thanks for your response. I reckon it's just the connection that slow, but with the drag and refresh functionality, it looks just normal now. So thanks =)
