Same problem here! I set up a short cut tile thing or what ever you call it to get straight in like the app used to but it does keep the page/thread I was on open and reverts back to home page.

@Chris F who probably knows the most about it is away. We dont make or have control of the app it's done by a 3rd party. We generally recommend using the browser on your smartphone or tablet as the upgraded forum software is optimised to work on them.

Download what's app, you can get it on that.

It does have the odd glitch but I fsr prefer the simple layout that is used.

It’s a real nuisance having to use the browser. App was fantastic.
I wonder if the problem was a lack of ad revenue, hence nobody is bothered or is doing anything about it

As far as a I know the App is a third party App, so not sure that is a logical conclusion

everyone expects a faultless service even when they don't pay, you should read some of the emails and pm's we get !!


The app actually takes cash our of TFF both in running costs, software subs, apple and google store costs and as it doesn't show adds traffic using it is freeloading. As it's built and maintained by a 3rd party it's also very frustrating when people have issues that we cant fix it and have no control over that issue, it's annoying paying others for such crap service frankly

Based on the above would you spend your own money on providing it free for all?


Incidentally, since it was removed from the app store we have seen traffic levels rise! It really was/is very few that use it


We could build our own app (which I would like to) that solved many of the issues above but it would cost so we would have to charge for it .................. I'm not sure anyone would pay ?

@Clive has put this on another thread about TFF

I don't think standing outside the Royal Welsh this year is going to bring much revenue now !

I assume the app has gone again as it wouldn't work on my old phone and having upgraded I get told it is not on the app store now.

I’ve just upgraded too, app is there on my phone but won’t load, so I’ve just book marked the webpage on browser and saved to home screen, it’s better than the app, should have done it ages ago, pings up with any notification too.

That is what I am doing !
