I tried removing the URL for my network and substituting a bogus one. When I quit and restart WeatherCat it takes me back to the trixology test site.

I'm trying to think what might have changed when this problem started. Although I don't remember for sure, it might have been after updating from iOS 8.1.1 to 8.1.2. I'm on 8.1.3 now so if a problem was introduced with the iOS update it's still there.

What router are you using? Mine's an Apple Time Capsule.

I'm using an ASUS wireless router. I've had it about a year and there weren't any problems until a couple of months ago.

Dang it. I was sure we were using the same router and that would narrow down our search.

I upgraded to iOS 8.2 but that did not unlock the mystery.

I'm assuming a router reboot doesn't help?

Tonight both iPad and iPhone apps are working perfectly. The only thing I did was reinstall OS X (10.10.2) due to a problem with my iMac going to sleep. Just happened to try the iOS apps and they are working fine. I'll check them again tomorrow and report back.

Kmatley, are you using Yosemite?

I have now gone through the weekend with the iOS apps working every time I check. They started working after I reinstalled the OS X. This might be worth it for you to try. I had a backup of my iMac in case this went wrong, but I just followed the instructions and the OS X reinstalled, preserving all the data and all my settings.

Here is how you do it in Yosemite (and Mavericks):
  • Important: You must be connected to the Internet to reinstall OS X.
  • In the menu bar, choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
  • Select Reinstall OS X, then click Continue.
  • Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select a disk, select your current OS X disk (in most cases, it?s the only one available).

While my ability to connect through the iOS client is up and down, I thought I would post an update. A couple of days ago I upgraded to iOS 8.3 and OS X 10.10.3. After restarting everything, I can once again use the iOS apps (both of them). It appears to me that the connection time is faster under iOS 8.3.

I don't know how long I will be able to stay connected, but it had been a couple of weeks since I have been able to connect until I upgraded the software. Maybe Apple inadvertently fixed this issue with these releases. I know connectivity is not a problem for most iOS users, but for those of us who have trouble, we remain hopeful that something will allow us to return to the good old days when the Grand Poobah's app connected every time.

I got frustrated and just stopped trying. Interesting about the software updates. I'll have to try updating my iPhone this evening, and if that doesn't work, I'll reinstall Yosemite.

I just finished a correspondence with an iOS client user that was having problems connecting. The connection problem went away after he installed iOS 8.3.

I have now gone about 2 weeks with great connectivity. I am keeping my fingers crossed that perhaps we are out of the woods on this..
