Reviews of TidBITS News

App not updating

In the past week the TidBits app has stopped updating on my iPhone. I deleted and reinstalled but that hasn’t fixed it.

Thanks for keeping updated!

I don’t see any recent reviews and I wanted to let you know I appreciate the app and continued updates!

Content 5⭐️, app no longer functional.

"Error: failed to download latest Tidbits feed." That's all, folks.
