FT iOS app 1.4 discussion and feedback
NOTE: The app is not supported nor available through the App Store. The app will no longer work at all since the 28 March 2016 revisions to FlyerTalk.
FT iOS app (v. 1.4 is the most recent) is not currently available, nor is it supported. See IBobi's post, duplicated here:
It's not fixable. It's a core software functionality and can't be addressed at this time. We know what's causing it, and it would require a huge development effort for something that is essentially a minor, periodic annoyance. We'd much rather spend that time developing the new site features we're working on instead.
As to the App crashes, we are no longer supporting the app in its current form and have recommended using the full site on a mobile browser such as Safari or Chrome for the time being.
Thank you for your understanding.

What do you think of the latest version of the FT app
Overall, I really like the update app. The only thing I find strange is that lots of posts have a large blank space at the bottom of them.

I'll ask them to test in a non-english environment and we'll get back to you on this. Seem like if your phone is set to a non-EN language this is happening.
If you're having the language issue, please report your phone OS type (ios or android) and what language your PHONE is set to.

Here's something I noticed using my iPhone 3GS-
On several posts, part of the last line of text in that post overlaps into the darker light blue area at the top of the post below it and sometimes overlaps the poster's handle and avatar

Another "maybe it's me and my iPhone 3Gs" but when viewing threads that have phantom last pages on my phone, when trying to get to the last page, the app continuously crashes

Post overlapping, and the blank spaces issue following quotes in posts, are being fixed and will resolve in the next release.
I've also been assured that new releases of the app will be coming every 6-8 weeks on average from now on (rather than the large wait times we've recently experienced) so fixes and smaller changes should be possible within shorter time periods.
EDIT: Also the global announcement glitch has been addressed.

And to add more on "the blank space" issue, it also shows when quoting a post which makes it more difficult to post as you also have to scroll thru the blank space to add your comments

FT iOS app v 1.4 feedback
IOS 6.1.3 iPhone 4
IOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4S
1) Big space at the end of every quoted post
2) Mainly french language, some German and English wording
3) Error in the French programming. If you want to edit a post, and decide to cancel, two "anuler" buttons appearing.
iPhones are put to German and Germany. Provider is T-Mobile Austria. Not anything to do with France.
I think it must be possible to fix the language issue first and quickly. It nervs. And why French as main language for this app?

I know this isn't very productive to say, but did the developers even test the app update before it was released? Because it took all of 5 seconds to experience all the glitches in this new release. Maybe this app development company needs to be replaced by a better one?

Would be nice to have the option to see only unread subscribed posts.
