As those of you regulating the giveaway TUAW iPhone app in iOS 5 have already seen, there have been a couple of issues with it; blank buttons, a little damaged functionality, et cetera. While you were awaiting which the AOL group doing mobile growth for us & all the sister sites would have an refurbish ready for the iOS 5 release, which didn’t happen. you was told which as of Oct 28, an refurbish would be submitted to Apple. AOL has a QA routine for mobile apps, as great as multiform bugs popped up once iOS 5 hit.
I did embrace a new set up to exam on Thursday, as great as I’m happy to inform it functions great with iOS 5. That said, you do not nonetheless know if the ultimate chronicle of the app has been submitted for App Store review. Therefore, on Monday, Oct 31, you will ask the mobile group to yield me with an refurbish as great as ETA for a properly-functioning iPhone app (noting which Apple’s examination routine is patently outward the control).
If the word is still “we goal to contention it this week,” you will many expected lift the stream app from the store so which no some-more new users will be wondering since an Apple blog’s iOS app doesn’t work. I’m anticipating not to have to do this, as it won’t do anything for the existent users who have been undone as great as unhappy; you can usually discuss it you which I’m only as undone as great as unfortunate as you are, presumably some-more so.
Also, if you’re wondering about an iPad app, you should check out Engadget’s Distro app. Would you similar to this same diagnosis for TUAW? you have watched Distro in development, as great as whilst you consider it’s a cold approach to skin the site in to a magazine-like format, you still feel which it lacks a little of the filtering as great as classification collection the users would expect. That said, you additionally comprehend it is roughly 2012 as great as you still do not have an iPad app, nonetheless the site functions ideally great in Mobile Safari.
Just as with the iPhone app, you contingency rest on the mobile growth group inside of AOL, as great as which group doesn’t just have TUAW during the tip of the priority list (we’re arrange of the pinky toe of the AOL calm universe). If as great as when we’re means to put TUAW in to something similar to Distro, I’ll be the initial to let you know.
Thanks to everybody who sent in bug reports. you goal to have improved headlines for you in November. In the meanwhile, you would inspire you to check out the site in Mobile Safari. Unlike when you used to call iOS “iPhone OS,” the ultimate chronicle of Safari in iOS doesn’t pile-up miserably when loading TUAW. Those were great times, weren’t they?
By the way, if you’re wondering since the app has a 17+ rating, that’s since Apple requires it on any app which allows you to “go” to the full web inside of the app (the speculation being you’ll go from TUAW to a little inapt site — Apple can be uncanny this way). So if you mislay which option, you can reduce the age limit. Unfortunately, which choice is really accessible sometimes. Let me know in the comments if you’d rsther than you embankment the web perspective in sell for obscure the age limit.
My apologies for the bugs, the miss of information exchnage as great as miss of an iPad app. We goal to repair things soon.
