I received this from Social Strata today. They are the folks who host the software which runs this forum.
Dear Hoop.la Customer,
We will no longer be supporting an iPhone app for Hoop.la as of the end of August, 2013. This change is being made because we care strongly about the quality of the mobile experience were offering you and your community members.
In the ever-changing world of operating systems, devices, app stores, and interfaces, it is almost impossible to offer an ideal app experience across platforms. We operate on a very rapid development cycle for Hoop.la, and its just not an effective use of resources to commit to steady updates and releases to multiple mobile app versions (we love our Android customers too).
Wed rather devote those resources to making Hoop.la the best community platform out there, with the best mobile experience available. Weve already started this effort, releasing the new mobile ad banner and header options, and we have more enhancements coming. We will be adding the ability to post and attach clips to the Hoop.la mobile interface before the iPhone app is discontinued.
What does this mean for you?
The OGR Forum iPhone app will be removed from the app store as of August 31, 2013. Members who have already downloaded the app will not be able to use it beyond that date. The new, mobile-optimized version of the OGR Forum will be available through your phone's web browser.
One way to smooth the transition would be to add the OGR Forum as a Home Screen Icon on your mobile device. CLICK HERE to learn how to do that.
Hoop.la is moving forward at a rapid pace, and were committed to helping you serve your mobile and non-mobile community members. If you have any questions, or have any suggestions for us, please visit our HELP center. Were always listening!
