iPad apps - TiVO, NYTimes...etc that go from native to web apps, iOS/Android or at a minimum iPhone (1 Viewer)

[Ted Todorov]

Just went to my iPad TiVO app to record the Dodgers - Brewers game (I don’t even know where my TiVo remote is, I strictly use my iPad for recording/playback/remote to watch on TV)...and — clearly totally new, demands username/passwords, pretty much acts like a website.

This type of iPad app “upgrade” is never good news, indeed pretty much always bad to very bad news.

The NY Times app has been driving me crazy for months now - I still cling to the old iPad only app, refusing to use the new universal one but things are just getting worst.

I’m sure these are not the only instances — let me know what you have experienced and what you think.

Ted,

I am trying to figure out the issue. Are you saying you are upset because the Tivo app acts like a webpage and asks for username and password?
