North Balti Zen Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Anyone else dealing with irritation with the new update? Was the perfect app for this forum...but now...just terrible. Cannot bring pinned threads up, navigation much more difficult all of a sudden. Just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 It is awful. Worst way to possibly navigate ever. I can't seem to figure out how to unfollow topics, I can't even find the ones I want. It hadn't updated yet on my phone, but it did this morning. At the moment, it makes much more sense to just open it up in a browser and use the forums default mobile mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Glad it isn't just me...misery loves company. I even went to their site to see if there was an email addy I could find to send a general complaint. Couldn't find one. Guess I will be accessing amex on the iPhone through the browser going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murph Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Treating pinned topics as if they don't exist tops my list of irritations. Intuitive. NOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I refuse to update any apps on my phone and have turned off as many as possible. In fact, I had to reset the phone to factory settings because I turned too many off at first. I trust none of those phone bastids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 I have no idea what the thought process was in that. To not be able to see pinned threads is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snownut Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Never used the old one but tried the new one last week and deleted it after a couple tries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexD Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Its horrendous.... I stopped using it and went back to viewing on chrome....the sticky topic issue tops my list of complaints, as it does many others....you should see the Google play page for the app, the comments section is filled with people having these exact same complaints, and the app developers just keep directing people to a Google survey to fill out.

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Not sure why you guys are having issues. Works fine for me. Here is the view of what I see when I go to the MA forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I can't even navigate to the mid Atlantic forum. Can only find threads in the unread section, or that I've participated in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 You haven't updated it yet Ah, OK. Thanks for the heads up. I won't update until I read here that the issues have been fixed. I just read the reviews and not surprisingly they're terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Do not, under any circumstances, update it. It was a dream before, a nightmare now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 FYI, I was able to get the previous version by deleting the app and restoring the old one by connecting to iTunes on my computer. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Druff Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I don't hate it when I figured it out. Almost all navigation is with the title bar. Tap it and you'll see. It's not intuitive to find how to get around, but it's pretty quick and easy once you know. From the home page, tap it and everything becomes a drawer and expands forums and sub-forums. If you're in a sub-forum, you'll see a link for stickies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Kevin, where is the link for stickies? Looking in the app right now on the mid-atl sub forum and cannot find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDIII Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 The regular mobile browser interface for americanwx works great imo.. The threads/ posts fit great on a mobile screen. It wasn't like that a year or so ago... I have taptalk but don't use it... I have an android with chrome browser. I am guessing safari does fine with the html?

Fields27 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 It sucks. Agreed. Don't know how they came out of that meeting patting each other on the back. It's terrible. Just going to open up amwx on Chrome until something changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Finally figured out how to find the stickies (click sub-forum header). Really crappy interface now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 There are ways around the new design, but it's frustrating that they felt a need to change so badly that they ruined the interface. I'm using Tapatalk now, so I guess I've adapted, but what a terrible change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Tried it for like 5 minutes. Based on that, I think you can tell how well I liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Druff Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Kevin, where is the link for stickies? Looking in the app right now on the mid-atl sub forum and cannot find it. Sorry, just saw this. Glad you figured it out. Like i said, it's not intuitive. However, it is quick to navigate around the site once you figure it out.
