Cruise Critic App is back but some issues


Recommended Posts

Ok, I downloaded it again for the third [maybe 4th] time and it still will not allow me to log in at all.   Am I missing something?


Are you an Android or iOS user? I have been able to log in on both an iPhone and iPad.

The app is not functioning correctly. Sometimes it takes forever to load or even does not load at all. I also have to log in everyt time I open the app. Moreover, for some unknow reason it slows my phone down when running. Comments dissapear or when I click post a comment, it will just freeze. I love the app in general but it needs some quiality fixes

Android or iOS? It runs beautifully on my iPhone except that about once a day it freezes. After a quick force quit it restarts without a log in. I don’t have to log in every time I use the app. Since it came back I only had to log back on once.

Android - Galaxy S10.  As stated above this seems to be the key. Since I cannot login at all, for me  it is simply non-funtional.

I was excited that the app returned, but now I'm so accustomed to using the browser version that I've forgotten how to add text then pictures then more text... Anyone care to enlighten me on doing this, as just can't seem to figure it out... Thank you in advance:)

You type text. Then add a picture.

Then type more text.

When I try that, all the text ends up at the top and all the pictures end up below... I've tried it several times... Maybe it's different on iPhone...

I'll try again...

It might be different. The screenshot that was posted of the app from an Android phone looks different than the app looks on my iPhone.

It is different for android, mixing text with pictures is a very cumbersome process for android.

 

After inserting your first pictur e, you get this-

 

SmartSelect_20200430-104405.thumb.jpg.d43f9a87c1de424950e04ea54d14486f.jpg

 

Tap the thumbnail, and you get this box-

 

SmartSelect_20200430-104442.thumb.jpg.f0286c6ced3763afb951ce097e782381.jpg

 

Choose "Insert Inline".  When you do, you get this gobbeldygook of BBCode-

 

SmartSelect_20200430-104502.thumb.jpg.5873e7c7676c01c28dbd68ef7f898da6.jpg

 

You can now type in more text, but you must make sure that your cursor is past the [/IMG], or else your pic will not appear.

Now you can add another picture-

 

SmartSelect_20200430-104549.thumb.jpg.26ad172301b3c4eb85751dee4d8c2956.jpg

 

Tap the new thumbnail, and add more text as above.

 

Are we having fun yet?  I can't imagine why anyone would want to do this rather than use the mobile site which is a breeze to use. (I am referring only to the android version of the app, I think that the ios version is much easier to use.)

 

If anyone knows of an easier way of doing this with android, please tell.

Yes!!!... Thank you so much... I have grown so used to the browser version now that I forgot how to use the app... One thing about the app, is that it allows for much quicker photo uploads using ship WiFi, which is why I was so mad when they took away the app a couple of years ago... I guess the irony is that now I can't even get on board a ship to test it out...

This answers my question as to why anyone would want to use the android app rather than the mobile site.  It is true, trying to upload pics from  ship WiFi can be maddening!  If they upload easier by using the app, going through all of the difficulties may be worth the trouble.

 

Like you, I am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to test it out, let's hope that it is sooner rather than later!

I generally use my browser on all devices. But I decided to checkout multi pic insertion in the Android version. I can't even log into the app.


I wish I had an Android phone or tablet to check out the Android version but right now I don’t have any Android devices available because of the shelter in place here.

@Jenn Since yesterday I have not been able to use the iPhone app. When I open it all I get is the circular arrows turning.

Something did happen yesterday. I had to sign out and sign back in to use the iPhone app again.

I am having to sign out and back in occasionally on Android App, if I don't I can read posts.

Password dialog seems to relaunch still so you have to login again or hit done. I hit done.

If you need better diagnostics or screen shots let me know

Is the new cruise critic forums app working either directly or through Tapatalk?

I just tried it (the February 2020 "update" (after a really long hiatus of "out of service") and there's definitely something wrong related to login and subscribed threads. 

I've used the mobile version since the app was discontinued and it works okay (much less "busy" than the full website.

But I would like to have the app functional because I liked the "subscribed" section (which is not working.

Great News! The Cruise Critic Forums App is Back!

Yes, the popular forum app you've been missing is back!  

 

Available for:

 

iOS devices in the Apple app store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cruise-critic-forums/id630594073  or SEARCH FOR:  CRUISE CRITIC FORUMS

 

And

 

Android Devices in Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tapatalk.boardscruisecritic  or SEARCH FOR CRUISE CRITIC FORUMS

 

Note:  There may be a slight login bug but you'll find you are actually logged in!

 

Laura

 

Tried it today 5/24 and there's definitely a login related bug. This is the new version that came out in February.

 

Good news: It behaves just like the mobile version and replies to my subscribed threads in the same way.

Bad news: The "subscribed" and "participated" buttons (which were the best organizational features of the old app) ask for login, which doesn't work (for those functions) and, thus, nothing appears (even though you are logged in.

 

Please fix

Thanks

Are you using the iOS or Android version. I am using the iOS version and I have no issues once signed in except about once a day the app freezes.

You need to sign in and out in from the hamburger menu. Sign in brings up the login box. Login from the participate button does not work and it only asks for that if you are not logged in to the app. You might have to sign out first from the hamburger menu and then sign back in.

Using iOS

When the app originally went belly-up, I created a bookmark for the mobile version which I have since been using. But, I have missed the subscribe/participant buttons of the app.

In following your steps posted, should I also sign out of the mobile version before doing anything with the hamburger menu (top right corner?) And which hamburger menu (main Cruise Critic [white background] or Forums [smaller blue background])?

It is not necessary to log out of the browser version to log in on the app. You can be logged in to both at the same time.

Tried everything possible. But, while app gets my notifications in the blue forums hamburger menu (oddly, I can login but not logout of the blue hamburger menu (see pic) in the app but can in the mobile version), the "subscribe" and "participate" buttons in the app still don't work and keep asking for login. If you then login there, you just keep getting the login box (and Insm using the right login info).

 

So, bottom line:

1) Mobile version works fine but does not have app's subscribe & participate buttons.

2) App version let's you sign in (but not sign out) of blue hamburger menu), see notifications but not access "subscribe" and "partipate" (which asks for login.
