One weird issue I always have is refreshing the bookmarks (or any forum). Whenever I’m scrolling it seems to randomly refresh the list again causing threads to rearrange themselves. Makes looking for a particular post difficult. Whomever decided to make the “hamburger” menu button an actual hamburger is genius.

Either just hangs with the smiley at the top refreshing or is just a blank white screen with the blue header. Tried updating and reinstalling but no success, also tried using either cellular or wifi in case it was my internet. Able to access the forums through a browser. iPhone 11 on iOS 13.6.

If I try expanding “games” for example to see the sub-forums it doesn’t always register and sometimes causes it to crash unexpectedly. Please fix when you can! Love the app otherwise. 🙂

In some ways I even prefer the app to the website itself.

Abysmal

Slightly better than using the mobile browser, but only slightly.

This is the only app on my phone that still works when I’m entirely out of cell data 👍
