Yay this is exciting. Because I myself has an iPhone 6s, Rose gold. Hehe. Thanks. c:
@Kaylee - ooh, fancy!
@Kaylee I have an iphone 6s too:)
Thank you all for your hardwork! It's a wonderful job you're doing 
May this community thrive!
btw, it takes a while to make it to the app store for everyone (I don't see it there yet myself).
The new version is 2.5 - so look for that. If it's still 2.2, check back in an hour!
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn Hey! Should we be able to update now? because the App Store says that the update doesn't exist :(
@as195571
I know (**sob**) -- I'm trying to figure out why. The store tells me that 2.5 is ready for sale, but it isn't propagating (that is, isn't spreading out to everyone) and I'm not sure why. :(
I tried something that might help, but it might still be some time before I know if it worked.
I will post an update to this thread as soon as I solve this problem.
I may be under a little curse, since the Android release also got hung up. It's been a kind of frustrating week that I was hoping would be more, um, triumphant. :\
@as195571 - my store finally updated. check again?
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn I got it:) thank you for all of your hard work!
@as195571 - you bet! and thanks, @ezraBC for the 10,000 lines of code (give or take)!
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn must've been hard work, but I greatly appreciate it!! :)
I assume landscape orientation support (useful on iPads) is still in the future?
@JBlue - the extremely near future.
2.5 supports landscape!
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn Excellent - I look forward to using my Zagg Folio keyboard with it again!
@JBlue I have one of those. very nice!
@JBlue, please let me know if the keyboard works correctly
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn Works just fine. (It did in portrait mode, too, but it's hard to read a screen tilted 90 degrees!)
This is awesome to hear! The iOS app has just been extremely buggy for me--really looking forward to the updates
@patientMango29 yep those bugs were driving is nuts too.
no doubt we'll find bugs in this one but I hope it runs as smoothly for you as it does for me!
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn
As much as I hate to be a downer, I am a little disappointed in the update. By trying to make things sleek, the app is even more clunky and confusing to use, and in the first few minutes of using it I have found more bugs than I remember encountering in the old app.
In my honest opinion as a programmer, the devs should work from the ground up and create a clean, simple and intuitive interface for users to use instead of adding more and more functionality all at once to try and help solve issues.
In any case, there are some areas that have been improved of course and I can't really say it doesn't at least look cool!
I had to make a new account since I couldn't remember my password and when I went go sing back in the app it says: Invalid email or password on my new account it's annoying to have a new screen name and stuff there should be a a "forget password" button on the bottom of screen instead of having to go to the main area and stuff
@HappyDog1 - good idea, can you make a suggestion so we don't lose track?
(also on the desktop, go to Community > Support & Feedback and the link to the suggstion box is near the bottom of the page
Update is very hard to use with voiceover and the tabs are on the left side of the iPhone 5s and the iPad, with the previous window that I was in on the right corner of the screen. Also, there are numerous buttons and stuff that is not labeled properly. When I search for a listener, it is hard to navigate through the list of listeners with voiceover. The send button is not visible by voice over, therefore you cannot send a message and less you turn off voiceover and use vision.

Thanks for the feedback. There seem to be some layout compatibility issues with some versions, apparently. Can you submit feedback on the form or reply with the iPad version and iOS versions you are working with? That will help us pinpoint the problem.
Someone left a review for the app mentioning the voiceover problem as well. Thanks for letting us know about it. Apparently the earlier version supported voiceover better? I'm sure this is something we can address.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Can you visit lite.7cups.com and tell me how the interface there works on your devices, too?
I have an iPhone 5s in iOS 9. My friend is using the iPad, I can ask her what version she has. She is also a voiceover users well. That review was for me.
Hey!
I really like the design of the new app and could find certain things more easily than before. Some problems I had before seem fixed, but I have new problems.
I'm using an iphone 6s and when I try to post something on my feed and click the "post to feed" button, it sends me to my growth path and doesn't post anything...
The other thing might not be a real problem, maybe I just didn't figure it out. When I click on a username in my feed, then the person's profile pops up. But how do I get to their feed?
And one time when I tried to pull the cursor in a post i was writing to correct a mistake, instead of pulling the cursor to the left, I pulled open the right menu. With that my post was completely lost. I guess that was my own mistake, I was just a bit annoyed that pulling open the menu deleted what I was writing.
Thank you all for your hard work!!
My friend has an iPad mini three. She's also a voiceover user too.
