'the internet connection appears to be offline'

If it is working fine except on those two apps then get in touch with the developer of the app.

Is this happening at all WiFi hotspots or just a certain one? Does it work with cell data?

If it was just your service provider then you would not have an issue when you use WiFi hotspots (I'm assuming that some of the hotspots you use were not affiliated with Rogers). Also when you were at a non-Rogers hot spot your Safari browser would not go to the internet, you would not get mail and no other apps that use the internet would work.

Is it specific to only certain apps or are you also seeing this with Safari, etc?

If it is happening at all hotspots and won't work with cell data, and assuming Safari and other apps do then you need to contact the developers of those apps to get help.

What do you feel the problem is?
