    Lets get to the point.
    The app has issuses.

    -links to anywhere but the green appstore buttons cause a crash
    -Attaching doesn't let you pick photos from your phone yet.
    -some threads broken: Heroes and Castles comes to mind.
    -Its yellow. Can we have color options? I intensely dislike yellow.

    Are we talking about itunes links in the forums?

    Anywhere else?

    In the forums? It seems like it works for me.

    Can you check again? Is it still not working? iOS 6 or 7?

    Okay, I get the attachments now.
    Broken as in when clicked says too many redirects.
    Links to anywhere.

    When I launch TA app on my iPhone, tap on News and Reviews, then tap on Strata Review, then tap on Tetris [$0.99] in the second sentence -- it works, sends me to the app store.

    Just wrote a post from my iPad, it said:

    "I've never been able to add attachments through the app, ever since it was first released. Let's see if I can add one to this post..."

    The image seemed to upload just fine, I got a confirmation, then the "Submit Reply" button refuses to do anything. I get the tap animation, but the post doesn't send and I get no indication it's even trying to.

    But any external urls, like lets say a link to wikipedia.

    www.wikipedia.org

    Those crash, the only ones that work are the green app store buttons.
    Or to itunes.

    Also, try opening the heroes and castles thread from the app.

    ya, the only solution to that would be to scrap the thread and start over.

    the number of deleted posts screws up the last page count, and results in many redirects to get to the right place.

    In the TA app, when trying to browse threads with over 100 pages, it doesn't let me get to the last pages of the thread...

    Latest thread I tried was the Dead Trigger 2 thread, for example. I can get to page 109 of 111 but not to page 110 or 111. :-(

    p.s.:
    I'm currently using iOS 7.0.2 on an iPad mini but I already had the same issue on iOS 6.

    109 is currently the last page of that thread. The page count is incorrect. I believe that happens when a lot of posts get deleted.

    Oh, ok. Thanks for the clarification, Royce!

    I guess that it's just a minor calculation/rounding error then. :p

    Here's my biggest complaint:

    Games on my watch list give me notifications. When I use the notification to enter the app it brings me to the article, but it doesn't clear the app notification. So after I read the article, I then have to go into my watch list and then go to upcoming and open the article again.

    Could we get it fixed so that viewing the article via the notification or any other way in the app clears it?

    *edit:

    I also wish we could have side screen swiping to move forward and backwards. Look at the Alien Blue app for some awesome user interface. Simple usability fixes would provide a lot for the toucharcade app.

    I can confirm that the Attachment upload feature is still broken in the app. :(

    I AM however, glad to see that the issue with the app crashing when trying to click on external links has been fixed though.

    The main difference I can see in the latest update is that it no longer links to the old AppShopper app. It now links to the vastly inferior AppShopper Social app instead.
