Adds do kinda kill this app..
I can't seem to view pictures with the ability to zoom either, which really sucks..

I wish this app wouldn't reload every time I leave it for 1 second to copy a link..
It would also be nice to view attachments in posts so I can write a caption for each picture..

Definitely got some tweaking to do, the old app was perfect when it came down to creating write ups, and describing each picture..

Picture viewing is terrible.. Some pics aren't viewable, some pics (photobucket etc.) automatically leave the app to a separate browser page, and some don't load at all. I've even clicked picks in threads that somehow load completely unrelated pics from completely unrelated threads.
To say this app is clunky is an understatement. This app has extremely limited features, and is quickly amounting up to be a very big disappointment.
This app does have some really good potential and I don't want to discount that. But compared to the app it's replacing, this app is currently a giant step backwards..
Considering that app based browsing is basically the only way I and many others participate here, I really hope IB can step up and make some changes and fast. I'm getting tired of focusing on the deficiencies of this app, and it's really taking away from any useful or helpful participation in this forum..

They should have just used Tapatalk. So much better than the new app.

Amongst the 101 other things that are lacking in this "beta" is also the members post count. Plus the dark/light mode. At 5:30 in the morning, the dark mode was easy on the eye's.
Like Especial pointed out, where the hell is the thanks option?
I could keep complaining, but at what point I stop.
I would really like an answer, as to why all this effort, wasn't put into tweaking the original app? Especially since it was a gem of an app, except for a few minor things, e.g.; pictures sometimes not showing, avatar not showing, search was lacking some direction. All minor and easily fixed in comparison to developing a completely new version.

It was also layed out a hell of a lot better

How can you get a pic to load on an iphone? I can see my pics and select one, but it doesn't seems to accept it.

Press the camera and try to stick to no more than 2 at a time.. This app doesn't load pics well, and you can forget captioning... Cuz it won't do that either..

Some more app complaints..
Search sucks and is not easy to specifically search for anything.
The app crashes after editing or making posts, randomly.

It's really strange but the old app still works perfectly on my iPad. Just not on my iPhone.

Definitely does not work good on my iPhone 6+ or Google nexus 7 either.
