Adding this report from elsewhere in the forum:
If anyone else has complaints or comments about this issue, do chime in.
In the meantime, can I have a quick whinge about something I've noticed since I started accessing PPRuNe on an Android phone.
In the "User CP" view, each page title is immediately below the "unsubscribe from this forum" line/button for the page above. I lose track of the occasions I've inadvertently unsubscribed from a page and need to go back into forums view, find the page, and re-subscribe.
Could the unsubscribe script please either be moved over to the right where it won't get accidentally pressed, or an intermediate "are you sure: yes/no" window used to stop this happening?
If I'm doing it, presumably so are many others.

I don't have an Android phone; otherwise, I'd just test that myself. I've forwarded your question to the tech team. In the meantime, if any other Android user wants to weigh in, feel free to do so.

Any progress on Tapatalk. A plugin needs to be installed on the forum software and if I am not mistaken there is no cost to the forum.
Tapatalk is a forum app on the iPhone, Android, webOS, Windows Phone 7 and BlackBerry. Tapatalk Forum App provides super fast on-the-go forum access to majority of the discussion forums that has activated the Tapatalk plugin.

iPhone4S Connection Problem
Having taken the plunge into the world of smartphones with the purchase of an iPhone4S last month, I was delighted to discover the PPRuNe app. However, at random times it comes up with the message "There appears to be a connection issue between your device and PPRuNe App. Please try again" The 'rotating bicycle wheel' symbol is active in the bottom right corner of the screen (but not always in the top status bar). Other apps such as Tapatalk and ForumRFree work fine. I have deleted and reinstalled the PPRuNe app, to no avail. Anyone have a similar problem? Solution?

Well, PPRuNe occasionally has database difficulties, so the site just might be ailing while you are trying to access the site. Why don't you give this some time, say, a few weeks, to see if you consistently get this error message?
Also, if any other iOS users are seeing this issue, please report it here. Thanks!

- button 'last unread post' not working ever
- Newest list doesn't refresh?
- No landscape support
- No emails on subscribed topics?
Tapatalk support would be great. It would offer users a choice.
Ref my post #50, I have been monitoring things:-
As per Radix's comment on the 'last post unread' icon, touching this gives a brief show of the little rotating spoked wheel but nothing else happens.
Is there a planned date for the intro of Forum Runner? I am subscribed to a photography forum that uses this app and it works fine on my iPhone4S. A shame that the PPRuNe one appears not to!
- When the app is reporting connection problems, I can switch to Safari and connect immediately.
- Under the same condition, accessing the forum via my PC or laptop, all using the same wi-fi router as the iPhone4S, I get an immediate connection to the forum.

Thanks, Lyneham Lad, for the helpful commentary.
Since the deal with Forum Runner just happened (last week, maybe?), that relationship is just starting, so I don't have any dates yet regarding integration. If/when I get details, I'll share them.

Very good, Lyneham Lad and Radix. Thanks for all the helpful details. I've reported all the issues to the tech team, who will take a look alongside the mobile app development team.

Alright, our tech team has implemented some fixes regarding the above reported iOS mobile app issues.
Are people still experiencing these issues? If so, which ones? Any details are good. Thanks!

The iPad app is actually an iPhone app according to Apple. The significance is in the viewing experience.
On the ipad the Pprune app appears as a small mobile phone in the centre of the screen. You can double the size by clicking on '2x' but then you lose the resolution making it unpleasant to use.
Using Pprune on safari (the Apple web browser) is far, far better. I see the full screen and have all the normal functionality.
