Can TalkBoard do anything about this reversion to 1985 technology or are we stuck in the world of evil corporate overlord Internet Brands? Seriously, it's 2016 - my maid has an app and yet this website doesn't?

Just open FT in your mobile browser and it will automatically send you to the mobile skin, which is remarkably similar to the interface and functionality of the old app, except that the skin actually works.

You can even turn the FT home page (or whatever page you prefer) into a button on your phone, making it even more app-like.

Internet Brands / FlyerTalk technical issues and decisions are beyond the TalkBoard's purview.

The problem with that vs. an app (hello tapatalk) is that usually:

the browser is slower than the mobile app

At least on my Galaxy S4 with Firefox browser.

I wonder if a poll was started what the results would be (tapatalk support vs. mobile browser experience). I personally would prefer the app.

Sounds like a lot of others would as well.

It would never be TapaTalk. That's a 3rd party app. For the foreseeable future, it will be the mobile skin. Perhaps we will see another FT app at some point. But we are focusing on improving the skin.

Surprisingly but not surprisingly there is still no update on an app for flyertalk. I went from reading this forum almost every week to once every few months now. Bring back an app please.
