Community Discussion Boards After AARP App Update — Text Box Not available

Not sure who to address this to,  (IT department)?

 

       I noticed after the AARP app update, last week actually, the ability to respond in discussions didn’t work on my iPad. It’s Readable, but not able to bring up the keyboard, no text box appears.  Only Cancel and send button.  Totally fine on a computer, totally fine on iPad using a browser, but it looks like the update to the app is where the glitch is for this.  
 

— I’ve deleted and reinstalled app. Rebooted, etc.

— I’ve updated the Apple IOS software to the newest version for my iPad which is a relatively new IPad with the latest version that was also released.

 

I can deal with it for now, by using Browser on iPad, or using computer for community discussion participation, but wanted to let IT know about this.  
 

Don’t really relish calling, and since I can use a workaround, I’m good.  But just a heads up to IT.
 

Thanks!  👍
