Mobile app sucks. I can find a solution.

Holy **** guys the mobile app is beyond worthless.

I honestly find it more infuriating than I do useful and from what I can tell it is only on the apple network and not available for android?

I know a handful of rotor friends who also work in software engineering that also have experience in app development that would likely be willing to fix whatever it is with this.

Is there anyone who can refer me to the proper moderator who may be interesting in working out a fix? This is beyond ridiculous given it is 2016 and people write app software that works from their mobile device.

PM me and let's find a way to fix this for the group. It currently sucks.

There's not. This horse has been beaten to death, and squashed every time it comes up. Internet Brands owns the site, Internet Brands owns their app, which runs dozens of other automotive forums. The pre-IB days of the old RX7Club app are no more. So unless you convince a massive company to fire the current SW dev, nothing is going to change.

Moderators and Administration are strictly Volunteer Members who oversee the Forum and have absolutely Squat to do with the Technical aspects of how the site is operated.
As my friend said,if you contact InternetBrands and have a viable solution to pitch to them then by all means please do so.
You can't start blaming the Volunteers when they do this for FREE.
I've heard the GarageTalk app works ok..but then again I don't personally feel the need to be on here If I am away from my laptop.
I'm kind of Funny about my devices..I actually use my phone to make calls.

I wasn't blaming the mods or admins for the issue, just trying to see if there was anyone who had any "in" to how the mobile site actually functions behind the scene as it is constantly infuriating that it continually crashes.

What's up with no Tapatalk access? This forums and s2ki are killing me on that note. Best forum app by far
