The one with the frog icon (Awful SII Maxx) is based on the code from an old version of Awful and is not actively maintained or updated. There were pretty much only three reasons to use it:

1. Awful didn't have iPad support.
2. Awful didn't have iPhone 5 support.
3. You don't like any of the changes made to Awful in the past eight or nine months.

1 and 2 are not true anymore, and 3 is kind of a moot point now because both apps are broken and only regular Awful is likely to get fixed.

Smells like motivation
The thread title kind of implies that the Maxx version is the current production version.

Yeah I have no idea why the OP even bothers to link to MAXX. It was just a stopgap version, it's not like there's some need to be "diplomatic" and post both versions or something.

When I posted it, there was much chatter about switching to it because Awful was taking a wrong turn. As Awful has gotten better and better, you're right, there's no reason to link both. I've taken it out of the OP, and once I think of a suitable Apple pun, we'll get the thread title changed too.

You are legally required to include a pun in every long standing thread title.

Maybe it just behaves differently for me, but even though every thread is one page, when I click on it from bookmarks, I still get the new posts. I may have to scroll down, but they're there. And since you have to load the thread before you can post in it, it seems like people should be taking the time to read before they post.

But like I said, maybe it works better on my phone than it does for other people.

The way it seems to be working (for me at least) is you get one long page with some new posts at the bottom, but not all. If you go back out and back into the thread you get about another page's worth of new posts.

Well when I'm opening up threads it's only saying 'page one of one' which is strange because there's definitely more than one page and basically I can't use it.

Is there a way to hide the UI elements at the top and bottoms of the thread viewing window? Specifically, the elements that include the thread title and the page number.

Nope. It's on the list, no idea when it'll happen.

Getting the exact same thing. And reloading each forum now doesnt display thread tags and everything is blank now.

Well how about that.

The page thing is still there but I presume that'll be fixed w the update when it's finally approved.

One can hardly ignore the Taoist implications of "Fuck it, Dude. Let's go bowling."

I have a feeling this is related to everything else going on with the app right now, but just in case it's not: I'm having a lot of random crashes in the app. I was just trying to catch up on the general chat thread in Cinema Discusso and it crashed three different times while I was reading it. Like I said, I assume this is probably tied to it loading everything as a page and that maybe being too much for the app to handle, but just in case it's not, I thought I would post it here.

Also, what I've learned from this thread is that the App Store review process is insanely slow. It's got to be frustrating for you guys to have to wait forever for a fix that you guys worked so hard on your holidays to get done.

It's just really bad timing.. the end of year shutdown of the review process creates an enormous backlog and they haven't quite caught up yet. Any other time of year and the fix would already be out.

I don't think that's really true, at least the last part. If it is approved today, I think that would still be pretty average. If it takes much longer than this, we can probably blame it on the holiday shutdown.
