Mobile App Update
I've been using the update for about a week now and I find that it's worse. They took a step backward for sure. Haven't seen the massive white spaces between posts yet but I'm lucky if the posts actually show up completely or even show up at all. Yesterday I opened a thread and all I saw was a list of the users that posted with nothing next to their names. I had to restart the program to get it to work. More common is the post getting cut off before all text is displayed.

4.4.4 on Moto X (2013 version) phone and 5.0.2 on Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 tablet. Only use 4G and WiFi at the house. At least it's able to be duplicated and can get fixed. Just out of curiosity, were you able you duplicate both problems?

I just received another email that said to switch over to this wonderful app. Then it talks about all of the wonderful features. This app is terrible compared to the previous app. How many people will have to bail before someone actually gives us the app that we deserve?

I'm still bewildered, by the fact IB brands had a successful product and proceeded to throw it away and hand us back, a stripped down version of the former.
The main issues with the previous app, were pictures not showing up, Avatar's not displaying and search was a lacking a little focus.
While those issues seem to have been resolved. The bonus addition of animated emojis is...well, whatever.
I also understand the need to get all their apps under one roof.
If they concentrated on those issues with the previous version, they would've knocked it out of the park.
Let's not forget IB brands...You're playing around with a forum dedicated to the number one selling vehicle, in its segment. Possibly #1 overall in sales.
Quite a risk!
I can't change it. I am getting used to it. I still don't have to like it better.

Swiping from the left brings up the side drawer on any page and you can search from there.
As a side note the biggest problem with the old app was that it was developed by an outside team and was built in a way that made it difficult for future updates. We still have a long way to go but with this new platform we can add any feature the users want going forward and aren't limited.
Stick with us as there is more to come in order to improve and we are listening to feedback.

I'm sure you have a list, but the ability to the 'Thank' someone, without posting or re-posting was a nice little feature.
Appreciate you listening and trying to ease the transition.
