I believe this app is smartphone-focused and not tablet-focused. I think tablet users are meant to use the full site in the tablet's mobile browser.

I too have spent a couple of months presuming that the sub forums are simply broken
I actually was able to open the sub-forums once today with only one try!



Please, please, this should be an easy fix.

More often than not I for one find that simply clicking on an app as opposed to going to a browser is easier. Would it be a major task to add a landscape viewing mode tht can be used on the iPad?

I have no idea -- but it won't hurt to ask, which I have

FT iPhone app

Any news concerning the last read message bug and an upcoming iPad mode?
Also, when do you guys plan to release a new version which supports the iPhone 5's larger screen?

Have nto heard of any plans for an iPad-optimized version at this time. But viewing on the mobile Safari or Chrome browser works great.

forum posting selection bug

Won't let me post to Airline, Hotel and other forums using iPhone app. Tap line but row of choices does not appear, stays on same screen.

Can you post the exact sequence you're trying to do? Screenshots if possible? It's working for me.

FT iPhone app

I do not have big hands nor fingers but absolutely detest the chevron to open up subforums. It works 1 out of 10 times for me if I am lucky.

Indeed. I simply do not know why this simple fix is taking so long.

It's slated to be fixed in the next app update. Hopefully soon.

The process of updating this is a hard-coding issue with a whole separate piece of software, not related to the FT website. That's why app changes take longer; they are supported by a different dev team, and updates are not made ad-hoc, but according to a batch-friendly method of pushing changes out to the app stores.

Unfortunately this is not going to be available on the iPhone or Android app. At some point perhaps there will be a tablet app; but there's currently no schedule for that development. For now, just use the full site on the tablet's mobile browser.

Try reinstalling with the latest update, still not working? Then may be some technical issue I guess.
