List of noticeable problems:
1. None of the bottom buttons work in the following places:
- On the home screen: Newest, Top, Subscribed, and the little search magnifying glass. No response whatsoever.
- Within a forum: Reload, Subscribe, and Search. No response whatsoever.
- Within a thread: Reload, Subscribe, Search, and Last Post (one of my favorite functions). No response whatsoever.
- Within a post: Report, Reply, Quote. No response whatsoever.
2. Private Messages: None of the bottom row buttons work. Reply to message never quotes the message, that is a much needed function when trying to reference the PM one is responding to.
3. No Community anywhere in the app.
4. Profile doesn't have the option of seeing previous posts by a specific user.
I like the fact that y'all optimized the app for the iPhone 5's taller screen, but losing functionality is unacceptable.
Thanks for the detailed feedback, that helps a lot. I was able to replicate the bugs in #1 and #2 above and have reported that with urgency to the tech team. #4 is more of a feature request and that will be reviewed to see if we can include that in the feature roadmap. Stay tuned.
Regarding #3, not entirely sure there's a quick remedy to that perception. APC is still best experienced through the browser version rather than an app, and I think that's true of most communities (e.g. facebook, linkedin, etc.). The mobile app was designed to be a useful way to access the information on the go and not a replacement for the browser version but it looks like the bugs are definitely hindering that for you all and that's something we're working on. I do appreciate your patience with this.
