Default When will there be a real replacement for the RL app?

So when will we get a real replacement for the old iOS Rennlist app and/or why is it having so many problems?

GarbageTalk is just that. On top of all that is wrong with that app on the phone, there is no iPad version.

The RL app is useless on my phone (parse error on any thread with pics). Starting yesterday I get parse errors on my iPad when I load the app and half the time it's forgotten my login.

Yet the old 6spd app still works fine on both my phone and iPad. So given that IB runs both sites, why is RL getting screwed here?

When's the last time you downloaded the App?

It is constantly being updated.

Which App? Rennlist hasn't been updated since 2013 and searching right now there is still no Garbage Talk app for the iPad (iPhone only). The latest GT also still has the same horrible user experience and still won't let me attach images.

I use the garageapp on my phone but for ipad I use safari like I would on the desktop. Granted my butter fingers don't make it easy but it's better than the app.

I don't know the answer, but, when I'm on the phone, I always access Rennlist through my browser. No issues whatsoever and I can look at it horizontally, expand the screen, etc.

So I asked the same question a year ago and there is still no answer to the basic problem

Is there a way in the "desktop" site to enable the "jump to last read" rather than last post like both apps have? That feature alone is the biggest reason I use the apps over the website directly as I tend to end up in busy threads a lot.

In the browser, click on your forum name at the upper right.

From the dropdown select 'my recent posts'

That isn't what I'm talking about.

In the RL and GT apps, when I open a thread that I've previously read (doesn't matter if I've posted or not), it takes me to the first unread post rather than jumping to the last post in the thread.

In busy threads it is tedious to go back multiple pages to figure out where you left off.

Yes, I can see how reading a forum can become exhausting for some.
