App isn't working properly

Posted a whole ago about how quotes were not displaying properly. While that looks to be fixed (sort of, visually it still looks a bit weird but i can live with that), there are lots of other features that don't seem to work.

I don't even know where to begin...

I can't tag people

Some links that people post aren't clickable - it just says "click here" but you can't do that

Bookmarking a post on a long thread works about half the time

I can't filter posts by OP

Starting a new post will take me automatically to the topic I posted in last - takes ages of back and forth clicking to get to the right topic

I can't save favourite topics

I can only see about 20 threads within a topic, after that as I keep scrolling they sort of start repeating themselves

There's probably something else but I can't remember now.

I'm on Android. I was on iPhone before this and everything worked fine.

Can you please fix this? It's really irritating now!

Hey @CarrotPuff - thanks for detailing these problems, it's really helpful to have the specifics so we can look into them. We've been actively working on the Android app since Christmas, it's quite far behind the iOS app in terms of features and stability, so it's taking a long time to catch up. The iOS app probably had about 3 years of extra development work, which is why they're quite different.

We're working right now on reducing the crash rate and adding the features that are quickest to add. We recently improved bookmarking, added the viewed indicator to threads and fixed a bunch of UI bugs, but there is more to come.

What would be helpful is hearing feedback on the releases we're making. There is a 'Beta testing' stream you can join, which gives you access to new versions before they go live in the store.

Whilst I'm here, can you reliably reproduce the problem with bookmarking in the most recent version of the app? I'm surprised by that one because I thought it was working.
