We’re excited to announce a brand new version of our free iOS & Android app!

Is the new iPhone app out yet? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall when it's released? Can I get it from the link at the bottom of this site? Eager for the conversation reply fix.

When it's not freezing or rebooting I do like the new format a lot. It's easy to navigate and to like a post, etc.

I found out how to upload my pictures , now I just have to figure out how to go to my profile & add my pictures to my other one's on my profile, or my gallery , for now though that is alright with me.

So far I loathe the new app, which I downloaded last night. Such a shame! I broke my own policy of avoiding app updates for as long as possible, because they seem to always get worse - not better. I thought BariatricPal would be safe.

The pop-up and in-thread ad banners are a complete nuisance. Distracting. They raise my blood pressure. Ugh!

I'll almost certainly delete the app. I'll visit BariatricPal less.

Ugh, again...

Hate Hate Hate the pop-up ads all over this new version!

Also, my notification settings didn't save so I had the bejeezus scared out of me at work when someone replied to a thread I posted on.

Though ease of use was updated...so that's nice

I don't like the new version either!

On the new app how do I filer the timeline to only see posts related to lap band? In the old app I would go to current and it would only be lap band threads.

Subscribed is what you are following. Participated is the ones you answered. Unread is everything.

But it seems to really be everything. Despite only being subscribed to the sleeve forums via my profile, I see lapband and bypass threads in my unread threads.

Yes I meant to say unread is everything on all forums. But subscribed and participated look accurate.

Why oh why are there advertisements? Can I pay to get rid of them? I would never have downloaded the new app and just used my browser had I know I would be bombarded with ads

I'm not a fan of the new app either - for the same reasons noted above.

It's awful! I'm tempted to delete it and just use my browser

Am I the only one not getting pop ups on the iPhone app for bariatric pal? (Not that I'm complaining)

Ugh! I just looked and there's no paid version!!!!!! Please remove ads or put a paid version in AppStore

I'd pay for ad-free too!
