META: MGoBlog HD iPhone App no longer supported?

The HD App was amazing

Good news is that the app for android is still good. I can at least read this way on my tablet.

I for one wouldn't mind paying for an app that worked well like the HD app. It's also hard to read the site on mobile when it isn't responsive. I would absolutely spend money to get either of these things. This change will sadly most likely decreas my overall usage of the board since I mainly use it on mobile.

It was a nice app for sure. Here's another vote for an upgraded interface. Sent from Ad-Viewing Safari for iPhone

So was the creator of the HD app sent a cease and desist? Or was the iTunes Store sent a trademark infringement to remove the app.

Apps don't just disappear.

I understand this isn't a democracy but as many have said donations wouldn't be a problem to get this site out of the dark ages.

In one day the funds would be raised to support the HD app or make the forum Tapatalk compatible.

Seems like there could have been a compromise reached but the choice was made not to.

I feel like Brian's completely lost his mind

Gotta love SD. Hope my C64 comes back in style

pathetic.

This really sucks. I'm a huge HD app fan. The original one is not even close to its functionality. It's a sad day. Yes I get it's free, blah blah, but come on dude. If funding is really the problem set up a gofundme.

on a scale of 1-10, how illegal would it be for someone to set up a whole new website with comments board, etc. and just C&P all of the front pages posts ASAP everyday?

What a total shocker. Another major site issue with absolutely no explanation of what the problem is or when/if it will ever be fixed. Wouldn't even be remotely surprised if Brian and Co. just decided to fold up shop one day without even telling anyone. We all show up the next morning to a 404 error and all run around like chickens with our heads cut off trying to figure out what the fuck is going on.

1000x this. I've been visiting this site in a variety of ways daily for 10 years, but I've relied heavily on MGoBlog HD because it was without a doubt the best experience. Most of my viewing came from there. Admittedly, that hurts Brian & Co.'s bottom line, but as a past supporter and someone who consumed daily I would be MORE than happy to use the MGoBlog HD app for a cost or even a small monthly fee if I knew it was going to the site's revenue.

I used the original MGoBlog app a couple years ago and the experience was awful. No way I'm doing that or viewing this site on Safari. He may gain a few more page views from me over the course of the month, but my engagement will drop dramatically. I might open the MGoBlog HD app 10 times per day. No way I'm visiting the page on a computer more than once per day.

My advice to Brian is to find a way to get the developer for MGoBlog HD on board and find a way to monetize the thing. Everybody wins there.

This site is total shite. The content has been increasingly amature. Boo this man!!!

To whoever coded the HD app.  Really enjoyed using your app and am stunned it is being squashed in favor of a far inferior product.  Hoping you and the powers that be can put your heads together and figure out a way to bring back the app we all knew and loved. Would be happy to pay for the HD app.

To be fair, the Android App hasn't fully worked in literally years. Can't sign in or post, some images dont even display. Embeded video? Not a chance. 

Brian mentioned somewhere that an app update was in the works, but ill believe it when I see it. 

The app was far and away the most pleasant app to navigate, read, and comment. On top of that, it was easy to refresh and keep a steady stream of the comments going.

This site? Not so much. 

Makes sense to kill it. However, I'd have paid for it.
