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.

It's one thing to have ads, but these huge ads that come out of nowhere are endlessly annoying.

I love this new version! It is so user friendly w my iPhone!

I don't like how it logs you out of your current thread everytime you navigate away from the page. For example, if I respond to an incoming text while on BP, once I get back to BP, it relogs me in to the app and my place is lost. I do like the new navigation on the sidebar (iPhone). The ads come with every free app so no complaints.

I am unable to access the new version for my iPad and iPhone5s. Will say good bye if it becomes more tedious. Have found the site useful, but not worth any more time than I have already wasted trying to "update".

Unable to access ? You can't download the app ? Can't log in ? Please be more specific so we can attempt to assist you.

I dont know why this came to me Alex. Im an android girl lol tho the post had my face and ileenes name.....weird..

Hi Alex,

I don't know why, but for the last day or so the freezing and crashing has gotten much worse. I'll be reviewing threads in Participated and often when I reply or like, it will freeze. Nothing gets it going again except closing and restarting the app. Sometimes it happens even when I'm only reading the posts and not interacting with them. Also, I've noticed the screen jumping constantly as if it was refreshing all the time. Very very annoying because it is so hard to read as it jumps and refreshes.

I didn't notice these problems several days ago. Weird.

It just rebooted after I sent that post. Grrrrrrr

Same experience here, with both the freezing and the screen jumping.

Additionally, the "mark read" checkmark says to use a long hold to avoid the pop-up dialog but I can hold it forever and nothing happens. And despite marking read, threads show up under the "unread" section when no new posts have been added.

New version keeps locking up. What's going on??

I am sorry but I HATE the new app!!! You can't chat, and there are horrible pop ups that repeat as soon as you close them. Bring the old one back!!!! It's a total bummer!!!

It's dreadful. I cannot fathom what the motivation was for completely revamping and doing this, other than advertising revenue. All the other changes I am finding are definitely for the worse, and I to find myself avoiding using it now unless I am on a full computer using the full site. That will cut my usage time (and enjoyment!) down by about 90% or more. I'm glad it was there during my preop and immediate postop time though, because it felt like a tremendous lifeline for me. I'm only sorry it will not be as user-friendly and readily accessible for those coming along now.

It's horrible! It keeps freezing up. Even as I went to reply to this post it froze up. Very frustrating. Honestly I am not using this app as often since the "upgrade".

I'd like to see previews for topics in each section. Now I have to open each one to see if there is anything I'm interested in. So slow! And I'd prefer to only see general topics and VSG topics. Not interested in band or RNY issues.

And I'd pay for an ad-free experience.

Mine is freezing up every few minutes. I'm not getting on as much since the new app. It's just a lot of hastle.
