I can't seem to log in on my iPad after the recent upgrade? Is this a known issue?

Yes, the old AVS app is no longer supported.

According to the developers, they will be enabling the Tapatalk format shortly (universal forum "browser") and a mobile specific site delivery model based on HTML5. Not sure what the timing will be.

I agree, I access AVS only through my iPad. I will try the new format but I loved the App and I hope this isn't a step backwards.

You should be able to use the Tapatalk app by the end of today.

THE AVSFORUM APP AS YOU CURRENTLY KNOW IT WILL NO LONGER BE SUPPORTED.

Sorry for the all caps...Just wanted to be seen. smile.gif

We will have support the TapaTalk app sometime soon (Next few days) and are working on HTML5 version of the site that will support mobile browsers and pads. (We hope very soon.)

Please feel free to remove your AVSForum App.

Thanks All.

Try the Tapatalk app - I thought the loss of the AVS specific app was a real issue until I tried Tapatalk for other forums. Much better and more tablet oriented interface.

If anyone has tried Tapatalk on an iPhone or iPod Touch, please give us a report. I don't want to spend the $2.99 unless the app is working for AVS.

TapaTalk is it until HTML5 version of the site is done. The only "APP" that we support in a limited fashion is TapaTalk.

So their will not be a dedicated AVSForum APP. In the future you will use your mobile devises browser which will then load a streamlined version of the site.

That really stinks. I used the app for iPhone & iPad, do NOT want to use tap! Should have told us BEFORE the change & or should have been ready to support the apps with the change. Sorry to be negative but that's my 2 cents.

"Should have told us BEFORE the change & or should have been ready to support the apps with the change. Sorry to be negative but that's my 2 cents."

It would not have changed the result really. And we did post 3 weeks before we went live that the app would not longer function.

A quick word about mobile: We're working on an entirely new HTML5 solution to go with the new site. It won't be live for launch, but you can expect it shortly after. Designed from the ground up with power users in mind, this is definitely something to be excited about. With that said, the dedicated AVSForum app you now may have will no longer function. Please feel free to remove it from your devices once we do convert over. (Trivia...That was my theater on the splash screen.)

HOWEVER...We will support TapaTalk on the new platform, so, well, if you have it, you will be set to go. If not...you may want to install it.

Sorry for your frustration. I miss it also as that was my theater on the Splash screen.

Incredibly cynical move. Better to let Tapatalk compete on its own merits.

It would help if the app was reporting something more meaningful than "Bad response from server".

Yeah, unfortunately we can't control Forum Runner's error messages.

All the more reason to have thought out a better transition process. That said, it's 2012 and surely forum Runner can be informed to post an update to their software that contain human-understandable error messages.

i agree with the others that if the iPad app was going away it should have been better announced by a sticky message at the beginning off every forum. No meaningful error message and no warning and the old app is just gone. Very frustrating and no idea about the new app or iif it is even working yet.

Well if you only read the threads you are subscribed to you could have missed the announcement, which I did. I just kept checking the app on my iPhone and kept getting the error message. Why couldn't you have just sent out an announcement via email to all subscribers?
