Hate The New Update! Can I Go Backwards If I Reload App?



Recommended Posts

I can't hit send, reply, or edit, etc, any functions if I'm not looking at the ipad in horizon mode. This might not matter to many, but I, like many, use a keypad with my ipad, which requires the ipad to be in landscape mode so I have to take it off the ipad and turn it, hit the button I want, then put it back on the keypad and type then take it back off and hit send.....This is frustrating :(

Oh wait, this is even more fun....I can't hit the subscribed or forums buttons without being in landscape.....

I'm pretty ticked off about this latest bug as well. We're working on getting it fixed.

The only way it works correctly is if the iPad is in portrait mode when the app is first run.

Work around:

1. Press home button

2. Double tap home and press and hold on VST app until it wiggles and then tap X (I.e. kill app)

3. Hold iPad in portrait mode (short end of iPad on top and bottom)

4. Run VST app again.

It's worse...or more bugs. Now it has to be in a specific portrait mode and it crashes every time I turn the ipad. I think I'm signing off for a while...it's really annoying!!!

That's strange, mine works in both portrait and landscape modes just fine, and I have the latest update.

Which iPad are you using ?

We're in midst of redeveloping the entire app from the ground up. We're aiming to release this new app at the end of January, give or take a few weeks.

It's working now...how odd is that? Honestly I'm not a complete dork LOL I have the latest Ipad (is that a 3?) which I purchased in August. I'm on 6.0.1.

I went ahead and removed it again, cleaned out all of my history, rebooted, etc., and reloaded yet again. It appears to be better (I'm in landscape mode and it's allowing me to type). I'll fiddle around a bit and see how it goes.

Alex I am sure this must be a major headache for you every time there's a change. That's the worst experience I've had, which isn't terrible :) Just annoying. But if I was a first time user it would probably have been a bigger deal so I wanted to bring it up.

Believe me, I know how frustrating it can be! At the moment, we outsource most of our app development to 3rd parties. We've brought everything in-house now and we're hoping to greatly improve the site and app experience overall.

You have no idea how valuable your feedback is, we really really appreciate it!!

I've been playing around. All features work just fine even that "send button" thing (where you had to hit enter to get the button to work) seems to be ok. Perhaps there was some interference from previous versions in my cache? (I don't speak computer my dear so that's all I can guess LOL).

If nothing else you got me to clean house :) And I'm happy to report an issue. I love the site so we have to support your efforts!

It's so bad now I have to reload a few times daily Alex. So bad I gave up today :( I finally did reload again, but it's getting a bit ridiculous. I hope you find the fix soon!

Mine is the iPad 3 and I am not having any problems. Are you all running on 6.1?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
