Forum App isn't 'appy

[Nidge247]

I've been away from posting on the Forum for a few weeks due to family needing me elsewhere, and the sad loss of a family friend. However I have tried to get on here via the App and have found it VERY limited as to what you can actually do.

Very few of the posters details are present, and whilst you can reply to a post, making a new post is extremely difficult, and I gave up in the end.

As many new people coming to the forum will do so via the App these days, could it perhaps be updated to improve accessibility/information, so the good work of the forum can be spread further afield. I have asked others if they have the same issues and find it to be the case with people then going elsewhere for advice - so clearly it is a point worthy of looking into.

I'm now accessing via www and am amazed at the difference and ease of access to all the forums. Keep up the good work!

Sorry for your loss @Nidge247.

I too find the app hopeless and have a much better experience using a browser on my smartphone.

I'm yet to find anybody who prefers the app over the webpage.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback.
I will tag in @Administrator and @CaptainWard so that they see your comments.

I prefer to use the Chrome browser on my Android phone and tablet, as it is a lot faster than the so called "app"which is appalling.

Hi new to all this, I have downloaded the app but unfortunately it does not allow me to post reply, keeps saying I do not have permission to reply. Anyone know how I can over come this?

Use the Chrome browser, and you will not have the problem when you have logged in.

the app is erm **** to be honest, it needs an update more than my basal needs

I should have said, use the Chrome browser on your Android phone or tablet.
