META: MGoBlog HD iPhone App no longer supported?

Submitted by HenneGivenSunday on

I wondered if anyone else has this same issue.  I just tried to pull up the MGoBlog HD app on my iPhone and it is telling me that it is no longer supported.  Anyone else have this same problem?  I know there was a stretch recently where it wasn't working at all, but it had been working just fine lately.

To be fair now that the majority of phone screens are greater than 5 inches then the browser version indeed seems more appropriate.  Back in the day though an App version helped with the constant pinch/unpinch to zoom that was needed on a 4 inch screen.

Soooooo who wants to start a kickstarter to pay for the app (or provide enough $$ so the ad revenue lost from the other app is negligible and brian allows it to exist)

The website is outdated and unstable and the official app is horrible. The HD app was easily the best way to view and respond on the site. I'd gladly chip in for the HD app to keep it around.

Dangit. The HD one was a revelation last month when I found it. It worked way better than the current one. Add me to the list of people that would pay a few bucks for a good app.

There went my HD app as well, and I just discovered it was 3D Touch compatible!! Brian I will be calling during the mgoblog round table to ask about the app.

I suppose you could always check the main site - 502 and 503 are crystal balled to the MGoBoard, or so I hear.

In all seriousness, I would love to see updates one day, especially something that would make modding easier and a little more precise.

who are good Java Script and OIS programmers. It would seem kind of easy to create a good mgoblog app for both application platforms. Or at least revamp the website to make it more mobile friendly.

Especially disappointing on Signing Day Eve.

As with others, I'd happily pay for access to a functional app frontend to MGoBlog that put money in your pocket.

Emphasis on functional.
