UPDATE:
The new app is now available in the app store. Thanks so much for your patience.
We also improved the usability of the strength log. Previously, you had to delete the number "0" under reps and weight before typing in your own amount. Now you can simply touch the box and enter your reps and weight.

PREVIOUS POST:
We are currently testing it and pushing out the update this weekend or early next week. I'm sorry that it was not out ahead of the new operating system, and now people with the new iOS cannot use the app - we were working on it this summer, but we had a change in management and it's been difficult getting the appropriate Developer account permissions to the correct people. It sounds like a dumb excuse, but in a small company like this, people have their Apple accounts tied up with their personal iCloud, etc.

It should be resolved VERY soon.

Meanwhile: Please know you can go to beginnertriathlete.com on your mobile phone browser and use the mobile site in the same way as the app for now. And most of you with iPhone know that you can easily make an "app" from a website by adding the website to your homescreen using the Share button. If you don't, instructions are here.
That would be a temporary workaround so you can keep logging things from your iPhone for the next couple of days. We expect to have the update out in the next two to three days. We've been working and testing, even in the wee hours of the morning.

The only possible hang up is that we have most of the features of the site included in the app, and the new rules from Apple state that any sort of purchase (such as buying a Bronze membership) must be configured as an in-app purchase that goes through iTunes. Obviously that would be a huge change that wouldn't work for us, so we have to try to remove the ability to upgrade your account on the mobile app. If they don't approve the app because we haven't done that well enough, we may have a further delay.

Please accept my apology for not being out in front of this and hitting the deadline.

Alice
