I don't have a problem with not doling out penalties for this error, but I cannot agree that if the App is wrong, you can be let off the hook for your roster being out of compliance. What about if Patrick enters a salary in wrong, say 200 rather than 300? Should you then not be held accountable for being over your cap then? That's bogus.

If Patrick enters wrong salary that is a user/input error, that's completely different from a formula error. The input error is easily checked/verified by looking on the forums and each team should be held responsible to that. However, the calculation error would only show up if someone verifies the team cap outside of the app.
Burt you suggest that the "app" is just a tool, but the app is more than that. The official roster app is the end all be all, definitive source of the league. It's pretty much the backbone of the entire league. So as an owner it should be safe to assume that the app CALCULATES everything correctly. I mean how can we look to a document as the definitive source of team compliance, but still place responsibility on individual owners if there was a system-wide inaccuracy? It's either the app is correct or incorrect since it is the basis for all league info.
To me input errors, regardless of who inputs the data, should be punished but errors in the formula of the actual apps needs to be forgiven. However, this is all really a moot point since this is the first time this has come up in the league's existence.
