Yes, you spoke too soon.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, which seemed to have temporarily fixed it by removing the red “1” notification icon on the App, but as soon as I got a NEW notification and opened the app, it returned and it won’t go away.  Therefore, the new update (5.2.4) did NOT address the issue, although it was intended to.

Thanks for the suggestion!  That seems to have fixed it for now.  I will wait for the next notification to come in, so I can confirm.

Well, they just released an update on iOS (5.2.4) that was supposed to fix it, but of course, it did not.  The issue still persists, despite me viewing all notifications.

At this point, I’m ready to just delete the app, as it’s quite annoying how something so simple can be overlooked and not be addressed.

I just updated to 5.2.4 on iOS, but the issue still persists. I was hopeful they would address it, but the notification icon of 1 is still there, despite me opening the app and viewing all notifications.

I’ve thought of just deleting the app at this point...

Does SeekingAlpha not test their updates before releasing them?

I updated my app to 5.2.3 today and I am also having the same issue.  I have a notification badge of “1” on the home screen where the App icon is.  It won’t go away now.  It was fine before the update.
