Hi All

I have a few blog apps installed on my N9 including;

My Nokia Blog, My-Meego, Nokia Beta, and Hot UK deals

None of them display anything?

I try to refresh and nothing? Any ideas? Does anyone else with these apps have the same issue or is it working for you?

Cheers

Update: Problem solved!

The problem is Nokia and its lack of communication, again. These so-called "apps" were nothing else than RSS feeds, digested by a server at Nokia and made available to an application on various Nokia platforms, including the N9 among others. (They even worked on non-touch S60 devices from the last decade.)

I noticed something was wrong when I tried to install the ones I used regularly on a new Nokia 808 I got recently. They were no longer available from the store.

Now it seems Nokia pulled the plug from the servers, too. The installed applications don't get any content from the servers that process the RSS feeds.

The problem is that you don't get any information, either. The only ones probably who will know what's going on are the users of non-touch S60 phones. On this old platform, the "app" is nothing more than a bookmark that opens a browser window. In this browser window, you read:

This app has been discontinued

This app has now been discontinued . Please visit the Nokia store to find more great apps for your Nokia phone.
This information doesn't appear on other platforms.

You can open the link in your desktop browser. Take this one for example:

@benny1967

Thanks for the information.

So this is probably why the default app "SkyTG24" (= italian Sky news) since a few weeks doesn't load and also refresh doesn't help, but the access via browser work fine. I think this app is also nothing else than a rss feed,

Thanks for the info, i had a feeling this might be the case. I Need to figure out how to set these up as rrs feeds. If possible?

Update: just added the usual blogs to the rrs list. Much easier than i thought it would be and you get more pictures included and its nicer to read. Why didn't i do that years ago!
