Hi there! I see you're experiencing issues with both the AppAdvice app and website not working since January 26, 2026. Let me help you understand what's going on.

Based on recent information, AppAdvice officially discontinued its operations effective January 23, 2026. This means that the app and website services have been shut down and are no longer supported or available. That's why neither the app nor the website have been functioning since that date1 2 3.

Since this is a service closure, usual troubleshooting steps like restarting your device, reinstalling the app, or checking your internet connection won’t restore access to the app or website.

If you need assistance finding alternative apps or sources for app advice and recommendations on your iPad running iOS 17.5.1, I’d be happy to help you with that.

Does this explanation help clarify the issue for you? Would you like some suggestions for similar apps or websites that are currently available?
