For ages you said for us to use the app to all swap over - rather then desktop /mobile

so I swapped to the app - got used to it - took quite a few months

But

Still SO MANY things we can't do the app that you can elsewhere 🥲🥲🥲

You keep promising the app will be updated and we will get the same on both

Yes the app is quicker and I find mobile now a hassle so rarely use it and tbh only time is when I get a private message as only way can read them / as it is a lot slower

So lovely @mnhq when will we be able to do these things on the app

All things I would like to do but can't as use the app

Ive been beta testing the new app for about 2 months ish and to be honest I dislike it and am now using the old app again until they release further updates. It's really clunky and crashes a LOT. Very slow too but I'd assume that all these little issues will be sorted before the final release.

I don't like it either. It feels very clunky. Reversing the order of answers involves extra steps and you still have to wade through the op. I'm back to the original mobile app.

Size back after reinstalling app

i love it

not sure why a few of you don’t like it ?

I’ve been using both the new app and the mobile web version, preferring to use the web version because I like “pages” for the threads rather than an eternal scroll.

Also can’t PM on the app either (or anywhere, currently 😬).

I definitely prefer the new app to the old, and have used it far more than the old app. My default is, and will always be the mobile web version.
