Nope still broken, I think it happens when the threads on your phone have more than 1 page. I'm no IT guys so I am just going by what I am experiencing.

I stopped browsing the forum because I couldn't see anything. The nerdy side of me is curious as to how much this has affected traffic to the site via iOS/Android (pre-beta release) devices. Mods, do you guys see this data?

a 'mobile-friendly' app is easier to navigate on my phone.

Someone in another thread said the app uses less data.

Also, a lot easier to upload photos with the app.

Weird, works on some threads but not others, even multipage threads for me.

Hmm, I navigate it just fine, not one single issue and I am on it every day.
I have unlimited data
Uploading a photo on my S3 is just the same as my laptop (maybe easier, especially if uploading from my "device").

Thanks for the info, but I dont see how an app that works less than 1/3 of the time is better than my Galaxy S3 on Google chrome working 100% of the time is worth the headache, plus you have to give apps special permissions to access functions on your phone. No need to my way. Oh well.

I have a novel idea for the IB devs.

Fix the data issue that is causing the parse error so that it works for the version in development as well as those of us using the iPhone app.

You know, don't make a change for something in development that breaks something in production...

Surely there are several rollback points.

Default Mobile App Update

The Android app by ForumRunner is similarly hosed. Been like this for weeks. Single page threads seem to work, multi-page threads throw an error, and the beta is nowhere near ready for prime time.

I've never seen developers knowingly break a production application while they try building a new one. Very bad practice...
