So, is it just me or can you no longer post or even see article comments in the iOS app?. Sad day indeed if so, since the app apparently can never be updated. I access the site via app 99.9% of the time and this would all but break the experience.
TA App No Longer Showing Comments I'm getting a forum error when I try to view comments on the TA app. iPhone 6 & Air both on iOS 9.1.
Why can't the app be ever updated? I wonder the same. It's long overdue for a update. Where are the devs?
The TA app would be rejected since it violates some rules that Apple placed after the app was already on the AppStore. Otherwise, it would have been updated a while ago. This app will continue to be here until some iOS update breaks it or something, otherwise, you'll have to make lemonade with lemons
Some sort of App Store replacement BS. The irony is off the charts. The percentage of game purchases that occur BECAUSE of TA must be statistically significant. Apple absolutely should take TA up on their own damn Patreon level!
Yeah not sure what's going on but it's just the comments on articles posted on November 6. Everything before that still loads ok. I really like the app but I've been using the website once in a while just to get used to it. I think it's just a matter of time before the app is not an option.
It must be something on TA's side, I thought maybe it was a Disqus tweak but isn't as I'm still able to post to earlier articles. Probably easily resolved, like a code change that didn't account for app users. I don't mind if the comments vanish, the main draw is the articles after all but it's annoying not being able to read.
Good observation about it being limited to Friday (though I think I previously went back to Thursday posts and was seeing the same issue at times). Looks like it's happening again today.
Well I got 2 PMs today and both dated November 1, not the 9th. So something is being squirrelly!! Also still not seeing any comments on news articles. News articles says there are X comments but none being shown.
I reported it to our developers, but, it's probably better to just get used to the mobile web view on toucharcade.com - Remember you can always add a bookmark to your homescreen which works pretty similarly to the app.
They might do though, have some faith Eli! They probably should consider it, comments seem to be far lower than usual since app users can't see nor post right now.
Curiously, quality of the comments have gone up as people can't just rapid fire junk via mobile anymore.
Well I have been unable to post comments since mid July. Never got an answer as to why since I was on vacation for 1 month prior. So can I get an answer?
I think I'll stick with th app while it exists, you all did a fantastic job building a platform that is perfect for tracking and reading TA news. The site doesn't compare, e.g. Being able to "dig down" through links then go back to the surface level is great, as is unread stories being tagged. It really sucks you got screwed by Apple on this. Hopefully you can at least bring comment viewing back, if not writing. Sure, there was lots of junk, but it was nice wading through the interesting opinions. It feels a little sterile without them.
The current problem with comments just started last Friday or Saturday. Apple did not release any updates in the last few days, so I can't figure out why this problem should suddenly appear? Did TA do anything or make any adjustments in something late last week that could have caused this?
I was wondering if it was just me. I don't have a PC sadly so the app is what I always use. It's really odd because I can see and post in some new game threads but things like the "tonight's games" post I can't read or post anything. I love this app so much. It's just way more convenient than safari.
