iPhone App

Great to see the mobile app is ready! I installed it on my i4S and it works well. Thanks for the continued support and development of these products!

Happy Motoring!

Loving it on iPad! I've been on NASIOC mobile for quite some time and have grown accustomed to the intuitiveness of the app.

So what exactly is it called? All my I-store searches come up zilch.

Loops. Never mind. "mini motoring". Found it.

Hmmmmmm... it gives me the change to join three different groups... none of them are anywhere near me, closest is Chicago. Maybe more will join the list.

Great app! Installed it on my iPad and iPhone and loving it. The links open inside the app, so you don't have to go through different apps.

I have to confess I've downloaded the app, but am still using the web site. I haven't yet found a good (to me) way to go through all the posts. Maybe I need to take a longer look at it, since all I see are positive remarks. I'll have to try harder!

When a circled number appears on the app icon what exactly does it indicate and how do I make it go away?

It means somebody posted on a thread that you subscribed to. Just open the app and go to the thread and read it. The number should go away.

On the iPad: at the bottom of the screen you can see Forums, Current, Messages, Profile, Search, Subscribed, Online & More. Tap on the "Subscribed" button and all the threads that you subscribe to will display.

On the iPhone: same setup, just tap on "More", then tap "Subscribed" and you can see the threads/forums you are currently subscribed. The new ones that you haven't read yet are shown in bold font, while the ones you have already read are not. I hope this helps you. :-)

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 running Ice Cream Sandwich.

I had a look at the app, but didn't download it. Under the list of changes it makes is that it prevents the tablet from sleeping. Is there a way to disable that feature? I don't want to put the tablet down, forget that the app is open and have the app drain the battery.

Dave

No offense - just feel it's worth the feedback... No forum is worth installing a separate app for. All of the other forums I visit work on Tapatalk which allows me to have everything in one place.

I'm an active member on a number of Miata forums (among others), but actually don't frequent MiataTurbo (another Internet Brands forum) for the same reason - no Tapatalk support.

Assuming the objection to Tapatalk is the lack of ads, I can see two arguments there:
1) you're apparently now doing "sponsored posts" as ads, which would presumably show up in Tapatalk, and
2) the forums I visit on Tapatalk when mobile I also visit on the desktop when I'm not, and get subjected to the advertising then.

Then I guess there's the supplementary argument that other competing forum conglomerates use Tapatalk and still manage to turn a profit.

Pretty disappointing from an end-user standpoint.

Worked great till a few days ago. Now I keep getting a "parse error" on about 90% of threads I try to read. There is a report button on the parse error and I've tapped numerous times. Please fix. Mean time I will use my browser. Thanks, I love this forum but wish the app was fixed.

Have you tried deleting the app then installing it again?

Hmm maybe it's just me but I've seen a couple errors.

First, when I create a thread I figured it would show up in threads I participated in. Instead I have to reply to some one else who replied to my thread to get this to show up there.

Second, when typing in a new thread that I'm creating, once I get about 3/4 of the way down te screen I cannot see my text anymore.

I have a feeling the second one might have to do with the fact I'm using an iPhone 5 which has the larger screen, so things are being cut off after a certain area. But the first one seems to be a coding thing. It's set up to look for threads you've responded to, not those and threads you've created.

Other than that, love the app. Makes my goofing off at work a little less obvious.
