There's a minor glitch I found. When you login to your account. Your list will show up right after it's comfirmed. But the bottom navigation bar shows that the "Options" is selected. Nothing major but alittle flaw.

Btw, this occurs when you log out and relogin. It doesn't happen when you first open up the app for the first time.

Yeah you're right, when you logout and then login again the Option tab is still selected.
I'm gonna try to submit a version tomorrow to fix all those things.
The iOS 7 version will probably be late, I've been quite busy lately and I don't have much time to work on iMAL.

I've submitted 2.1.3. No major changes but a few fixes and improvements.
It should be available in about a week.

Can there be ipad support later on? I don't like using the iPhone emulator a lot on my iPad. It gets frustrating. Otherwise great app! I didn't want to pay $2 just for an anime tracker app called (anime trakr) that only has about 3k websites. Meanwhile MAL has 200k and grossing.

iPad support is not planned. I don't own an iPad so I can't test the app on a device, and I have tons of other things to do with the app. I understand that it sucks to use the iPhone compatibility mode though, sorry.

Anyway I'm really busy right now, I haven't had the time to work on the iOS 7 update and I don't know when I'll be able to do so.

For the next update. Are you going to redo the UI for iOS 7 and fix iOS 7 compatibility issues. I'm not sure if this is important but I guess I should just mention it:

When you try to update a manga's "Set Read Volumes/Chapters...", it crashes the app.

Device: iPod Touch 5th Gen
Firmware version: 7.0

I wanted to make a whole new version with iOS 7 with a new UI. Since this will take some time, I'm gonna try to find some time to fix the iOS 7 bugs so that you can still use the app in the meanwhile.

I have the same problem as Zabonam.

I think the problem is MAL's new login system. It now requires a captcha thanks to the recent hacking. All other third-party apps aren't working anymore for me.

Well, that is not true. The old version doesn't display any error message, so you get an empty list without knowing the app actually failed to get your list.

Also, I've received about 70 bug report emails since this morning. I'm aware of the bug guys, please :>

Assuming this post explains the only change that needs to be made, it will take about 10 minutes for me to apply the changes to the app, an undetermined amount of time for MAL to accept my request (probably a few days) and up to 2 weeks for Apple to review and accept the update.

In the best case scenario, I'd say one week. :(

Hum, I forgot about something.
Last update (2.1.4) is iOS 7 exclusive, because it was intended as a dirty fix so that the app still works for iOS 7 users until I rework the app to match the iOS 7 look and feel.

Which means iOS < 7 users still use iMAL 2.1.3
Which means if I update the app, iOS < 7 won't get the update.
Which means I need to make the update compatible on all iOS versions.
Which means way more than 10 minutes of dev time.
Which means FML.

I don't want to spend my weekend on iMAL. I'm really getting tired of all that.

Have you asked MAL to make it into the official app? I mean we all use it and thanks for your hard work

Also have you thought of adding ads a little money could help you (im saying this becuase of all the trouble you go trough i would help but have no experience in any sort of coding yet)

There is no rush. Most of us can just go use the regular MAL site for the time being.

For me, just knowning it's being worked on is good enough for the wait.

There is no rush.

Still, it's frustrating that the app does not work. It's not like it's a minor bug, the app just does nothing as it stands.
I also would love to stop all the mails and app store reviews.

Well by becoming the official app you should be getting some help to code and probably early access to the new updates that could end up screwing up the app like this
And if there is anything we or i can help ask

Yeah, that'd be great, but I think this update was not really planned (it was more of a quick fix to stop DDoS attacks imo, they would have warned us if they already planned to change the API).

BusinessBacca said:

Thanks. Right now I'm just waiting for Xinil to reply... I'm gonna send him a second pm, just in case he ignored the first one.
I don't see what you could help with. I'd be cool is someone could post a review on the US App Store saying that I'm working on fixing the bug, and that it is useless to spam the 1 star reviews. :)

Hi, I see you're already aware of the problems but I just wanted to say thank you for looking into them and for developing the app itself. As someone else said, take your time. There's no hurry and we're really grateful just to know you're working on it

Thanks guys :)

Good news: The app is working with the new User-Agent!
Next step is making the app compatible with previous iOS versions (I will try to support 4.3+) and then I'll post the fix to the App Store \o/

More good news: I posted an update to the store. We now need to wait for Apple to review it.
I tested on iOS 7 and iOS 6.1, I hope it'll work with all pre-iOS 7 version.

If anyone has an iOS 5 or 4.3 and is willing to help test the app, please send me a PM with your device's UDID.

Also, thanks everyone for your messages :) I'm really happy to see that you all like the app!

Yeah, there's a problem with the list animations.
You can turn off the animations to prevent the crash until I submit the fix.
To do that, go to Settings and then put "Expand animation limit" to 1 and turn "Always animated un-expand" off.

About the iOS 7 rework, we're still working on the design with Metricx and I barely started the development. I have no idea when I'll be able to work on it, but I'll keep you updated.
