RTM for iPhone has stopped syncing
My iPhone app has stopped syncing properly with the server.
When I go to Settings > About, it says the last sync was Aug 2. (Today is Aug 4).
I verified that sync is set to "Auto" and that I have a good network connection. Tried Wi-Fi and cellular network, no dice.
Tried reinstalling the app. The problem persists.
I try manually syncing (by dragging the list down). The sync wheel shows for 6 seconds, then disappears as if the sync has completed. But it's still not syncing.
Help!

Yep - me too. I'm using the iOS app v4.3.30. I get a message "temporarily unavailable" when I try to manually sync it. Changing the sync period doesn't change anything.
Also, going to the Account link in the settings brings up the same dialog.

I am getting this message on the Android app: "There was a problem establishing a connection to the Internet. Please check your network settings and try again." nmdnyc, hopefully it's something like a server needing to be rebooted. When the syncing resumes, you'll be OK. The think I worry about is any task that has been changed in both places.

Fixed on iOS now. It was out for 1-2 days altogether.

Andrew,
Thanks for your thoughtful response.
As you know, a lot of us love your app. We depend on your service to varying degrees. This outage caused disruption for me (and others, as you can see.)
I spent considerable time troubleshooting, reinstalling, figuring out a workaround and re-entering tasks — all because your system status page indicated that everything was fine.
If the status page had been accurate, I could’ve saved a lot of time and confusion — and I would’ve known exactly what workaround to use until service was restored.
As a longtime paying customer, I urge the Remember the Milk team to do the right thing and update the status system status whenever there’s an outage. Better yet, build automation so that we get up-to-the-minute status anytime.
Much RTM love.
