What happened to the PF App?

  • Bug
  • Thread starter rede96
  • Start date
In summary, the PF app for iPhone had been working without issues but suddenly stopped working. Attempts to re-download it were unsuccessful as it was no longer authorized for the user's country. The app had been disabled and the users were informed to use a mobile browser instead. The reason for disabling the app was due to compatibility issues with the site's features. Tapatalk, another mobile forum app, was also abandoned.

I have an iPhone and was using the PF App with no issues for a while. However it stopped working now. When I click on a thread it just says there is an error contact PF.

I deleted the App and tried to re-download it but now it says that it’s not authorised for my country.

Anyone help?

I really like the new software in my browser. The PF app never worked very well on my phone. Good move, Greg! :smile:

Is the mobile forum app Tapatalk being abandoned as well? Since about a week, I can't access Physics Forums via Tapatalk anymore.
