The MRH app had problems and needed updated with a bug fix. The app developers worked to fix it: the final updated app is version 5.2 - watch for it.

Updated app has been submitted

Updated app has been submitted -- its version 5.2. Google Play (Android) has the new 5.2 available and we're already getting reports that 5.2 on Android is working better than ever. Apple, in the meantime, is dragging their feet and in no hurry to review the new 5.2 and approve it. So patience on the iPad and the iPhone version, it will be available as soon as Apple finally gets in gear and approves it.

Version 5.2 is available, but now Apple has thrown us a curve

Version 5.2 is available from both Google Play for Android and the Apple App store. However, now Apple has thrown us a curve. Apple now requires all web access to be https rather than http inside an app, so we need to move our online edition to an https secured website. Unfortunately, the current site that's hosting the online edition is Amazon Web Services and doing https through them for a static S3 website (for you tech nerds who know what that means) is not exactly straightforward (or cheap). So we need to stand up a new non-Amazon website and move the online editions to it. That all will take about a week, so hang in there. Meanwhile Google Play and Android have not yet made https a requirement, so version 5.2 works great! Thanks, Apple (NOT).

It's all fixed - works for both Apple and Android now!

We had to rebuild the App Issue database and move it to new hosting on HTTPS, per Apple's new guidelines for content accessed from an app. This took about a week and also meant we had to regen and re-upload all the back issues (over 1/4 Terabyte of data). But it's all fixed now! Version 5.2 works good on both Android *and* Apple now. If you downloaded 5.2 on an Apple and had problems, please try again - it now has a totally new database under it!

That's the Rating, not the version

Jerry, 

The 3.3 is the rating the app has received (hopefully it will start going up), not the version. To see the Version Number, tap on the "What's New" and scroll down.
