Subject: RE: When will BT App be updated for IoS? We are working on this every day and have been doing that for awhile.
Here's one example of why it's taking so long:
Previously in our mobile app, you could upgrade to a Bronze, Silver or Gold app by going through our normal payment process you would go through on our website. The new rules are that this would have to be an "in-app purchase" which is a whole different thing, and the money goes through iTunes and gets billed that way. Which would be a huge system change. The obvious answer is to remove the ability for people to upgrade, and only let them do it on the regular website. However, in order to give our users access to as much information as possible in the app, we rolled the whole mobile site into the app. Which means we would practically have to remove payments and levels from the entire mobile site, which would be a huge undertaking.
This is just one example. But I promise we are nearly done. It was a race against time, and we have failed to meet the deadline, but we are working on it every day. It will be back up soon.
Meanwhile, you can visit the site on the browser on your smartphone and access the training log, etc. You can also make the mobile site look like an app on your homescreen for quicker access. It will still open in the phone browser, but you can tap it without searching for it. Here are the instructions: https://lifehacker.com/5809338/add-web-site-bookmarks-to-your-iphone...
