I've only been here 4 years and never really used the website. I've just realised you can DIRECT MESSAGE people! Do most of you use the website or the phone app?!

App on phone. Which is poor.

Only go on website from work computer rarely if need to reply to pm, start a thread, in depth search.

Website on my phone

AlpineMuesli · 17/06/2024 10:20

Website. Apps are too addictive.

Is your phone an android? You can filter the OPs posts in the app on iPad and iPhone.

Yes my phone is android so I guess that's why. I like that on the iPad I can click next or see all for the OP messages but I don't seem to be able to do that on my phone.

Bjorkdidit · 17/06/2024 10:30

You can do that on Android, on the Chrome browser, mobile site @Linnet

Website on phone. Never had any impetus to download the app. Mobile site mostly works fine and on Android has all the features of filtering etc.

I've only ever used the app. What is thanks? And also what else is better about the website?

The See All function that enables you to filter out all of the OP's posts on a long thread.

It means that there is no need to tell the OP to cancel the cheque when they have already said so in an update.

There's a cute little filter funnel icon on the iPad and iPhone apps. It's extremely useful and easy. No idea why that's not been implemented on android too, I suppose for some arcane technical reason it's harder to do.

It's OK we can just click on the words 'see all' which does exactly the same thing.

Omg I feel really old - I didn't realise there was an app 😂😂😂

Me either.

FiveShelties · 17/06/2024 11:47

Website on both laptop and phone. I tried the App briefly but gave up with it.

familyissues12345 · 17/06/2024 11:56

App - until 5 mins ago when I had a look to see how much better the website is. I feel like I've been missing out!

OldTinHat · 17/06/2024 12:01

App. And it's rubbish!

ActualChips · 17/06/2024 12:07

Website on a tab in Chrome on my phone. Dark mode, all replies on one page, notifications disabled.

I don't like apps and the one for this site seems to have minimal features (no edit option, no Thanks-which mean 'like', etc.)

When I try to go to the website on my phone it kicks me across to the app. I’ve just uninstalled the app and the website now works the same way it does on my iPad. I might just leave it like that for future use as the app didn’t let me edit posts either.

PuppyMonkey · 17/06/2024 12:15

I’ve always just gone on iPhone through the mobile site. I think I did download the app once years ago when it first launched but lasted about an hour until I realised it looked no better and didn’t offer anything to make life easier.

ALongHardWinter · 17/06/2024 18:54

Website for me. I tried the app for a few months but had constant problems with it.

Not on my version. There's no plans to make this happen, according to MNHQ
