I have an issue that happens occasionally with the iPad app. This is on an older iPad (MD405LL/A) with the latest iOS 9.3.2.
I start up the app and for a few seconds I see all of my feeds and headlines in the state they were in when I last used the app. After a bit though the app pops up the “Welcome” splash screen (I can’t remember exactly the title). I then have to page through various steps to import some sites (although no sites appear for me to add), connect to friends (more on this), and then get started. Once I click out of that (again, can’t remember exactly if it’s a “Get Started” button or whatever), the splash screen disappears and then… reappears again after a few seconds back at the beginning “Welcome” page.
The one difference is on the connect to friends page. Facebook and Twitter both appear on that page, I think, and then a switch about whether to import friends or not, which is on by default. If I leave it on and click Next up top, I get what I described above. If I click the switch to turn it off, the app crashes to the desktop.
I think it may be related to the weird wifi connection at the airport (Boingo), because I’ve definitely noticed this problem when trying to sync my news before leaving on a flight. When I went to recreate it this morning on a regular home wifi connection, it didn’t happen.
Let me know know if I can provide any other information to help you fix this issue. Thanks for the great app! I find this bug annoying mainly because I like the app so much and like having it with me on the plane
