500x_attmarkthespotI recently noticed that almost all of my calls in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, hardly a data hotspot, drop at least once. Every single one. Now I know what people mean when they say AT&T sucks.

Well now there is an electronic version of that crosswalk button for me to push whenever my signal degrades. This app, free in the App Store lets you pinpoint your location when the call was dropped. Expect a good constellation of points around my house.

And everywhere else in New York. Presumably this will allow AT&T to send technicians to various spots in the city, resulting in potentially better reception.
