Mobile App
There's definitely a problem. Even in the "support bubble" on the main IB Automotive part of the app, before you select whichever sites you've saved to your favorites, that support forum is FULL of spam. All in Japanese Kanji.
I think the mobile app has been forgotten... Looks like my duties will be cut by at least half. I don't have the bandwidth on the rig to use my phone with the wifi...

Yeah, I use the mobile app far more than I do the computer. I hope they get it take care of. I take it that the powers to be here at LS1Tech have nothing to do with the app itself, or support of the app when it's not functioning properly?

I don't think so, I think ib is just a third party group that controls everything, if anything I wish ls1tech had support for Tapatalk or something more stable. I mean its not like the site doesn't have enough users lol.

Well, glad it's not just me, but hate that it's causing this much trouble for everyone. I really do like the app. Easy to use, navigation is easy, I like the way it's setup, so no gripes about the way the app is setup, or how it works, but this issue is annoying to say the least. I have to say I do not like Tap Talk at all.

Yep, thought maybe today it would be working like it normally did, but not the case. It's funny that the app will work fine as long as the thread is only one page, but once it gets to two pages or more, it gives the error. You'd think there would be some type of trouble ticket in on this and that they'd be getting it fixed.

I spent a little time reading the ib support forum and apparently the app is completely dead, there's no more support and there won't be anymore updates from what I understand. Looks like we're pretty much screwed.

This is not true. I believe I've mentioned this before, but IB has been working on a new app for their communities which is currently in beta. Some members have been participating in the program. It is believed some changes made for the beta app has caused the existing app to not work properly. While the goal was to have the beta app released soon, the issue with the old app was being looked into.
At this moment, I don't have further details beyond that.

If you're an android user, you can download the new app, currently beta, by searching for Garage Talk by Internet Brands. That will be the new app going forward.
If you're an iphone user, the apple store doesn't really allow beta products and so there is some "closed" testing currently by a few hundred members.

edit: do you have any information on how long it will take to get some more forums on the new beta app? The list is pretty sparse at the moment.

Due to all the issues with current app we have pushed the most stable BETA version to the app store so more users can have access to it.
Android is live now as Jeremy has mentioned and Apple should approve iOS in the next week:

Download the app that Nolan linked above, if you're an android user, and use that app. Uninstall the app that you have currently been using. The two apps aren't the same. The beta app that Nolan linked will be the new app going forward.
So does that mean we should un-install the app, re-install it, and it should work as it did in the past? I un-installed it last night, re-installed it, but am still getting the same error messages as before. Is there something we need to do on our end to remedy this? I appreciate you coming into this thread and shedding some light on this.
