App not updating

In the past week the TidBits app has stopped updating on my iPhone. I deleted and reinstalled but that hasn’t fixed it.

Thanks for keeping updated!

I don’t see any recent reviews and I wanted to let you know I appreciate the app and continued updates!

Content 5⭐️, app no longer functional.

"Error: failed to download latest Tidbits feed." That's all, folks.

Fantastic, fixed the one bug that bothered me.

I reported a bug, TidBITS didn’t work with voiceover. They fixed it, fantastic! It works wonderfully now. Really appreciate that.

Help

Still unable to download page since upgrade

My best source for accurate Mac info

I’ve been reading this site for the past 10 years. It never has the feel of it’s editorial policy being driven by purchase of X sponsor’s gadgets. I get solutions to problems I didn’t know I had yet. It’s on my morning Must Read list.

Background music works!

Thanks for fixing the one irritating issue I had with this app. It irked me that my music would stop when I would check TidBITS News. No longer! Yeah!!

Not vary voiceOver friendly

This app doesn't work very well with VoiceOver. The buttons when you hit the back button are unlabeled. If you like send me an email and I can try to help out.

Old guys know stuff

Okay, five stars, really? It's not the handsomest app, being no more than a set of containers for the updates on their site. So yes, not for looks or interaction. It used to have the option of listening to the articles being read aloud which, in an era of polished podcasting, was just a step above goofily endearing. Didn't quite merit the amount of work, I'd say. It has news and updates keeping some measure of lockstep with the Apple universe. But it's no Ars Technica or Verge or MacNewsSiteDuJour. But no five stars for any of that. It's TidBITS, the oldest continuous Internet publication focussed on all things Apple. And what you read here is good stuff. Consistently. For a very long time. In depth articles, useful features, intelligent commentary. For that Five Stars. If that's your bag and apps (over email or websites) are your thing, then download this. Tidbits rocks old school, fine by me.

Won't load

Now that this app has been updated to run only in IOS6, I can't load it on my first generation iPad. Other apps don't have this problem. One can only assume that the programmers made the decision to exclude people who own older devices.
