    It has not been working, for some time, on my IPad. I was wondering the same thing. Website is still working.

    Not sure where I read it, but they discontinued support for the app all together. Only access is through the web.

    Was there even any advantage to the app? Many companies launch apps to look cool while their website work even better. I've always used YW in safari on my iPad... it's fine Why bother with an app

    It was massively faster than the web. Apps have a much better capability to cache content. And the user exp was much better on an iPad in my opinion.

    I don't use apps to access any websites. I like the web far better. As to being faster, not if you have decent speed for the connection.

    ...same here. I've added one app to my iPhone. Sirius satellite radio. Otherwise I use the browser and I use it a lot - with no issues.
