Default Mobile App Update

Any news on when they're going to update the Android app? The beta version they have on Google Play is barely functionally and certainly far less usable than the old ForumRunner app. This is beta software at it's worst. It should not have been released until it was at least as good as the Forum Runner app.

I suggest you contact IB directly. Maybe they will tell 'you' something.

Default Mobile App Update

Nah... I've reported a few things using the report function, and heard crickets. The few Google Play reviews are pretty bad, except for one that reads like a plant, so they know what the users think.

I really want to use the mobile app, and I really want it to work well, but every time I try to use it, I get frustrated and go do something else, or end up using the website, which has a good mobile theme, but still isn't as good as the old Forum Runner app was.

Sigh... Maybe they'll put out a good update someday.

I'm sure they will as soon as possible, but at this point, your guess as to when is no better than mine.

I urge everyone to review the apps on the stores telling them how bad it is. This app is a joke, and obviously comes from a marketing company with no idea about how UI is supposed to work.

Ads were enabled for testing and they have been removed. We are continuing to develop and please give specific feedback or report issues.

Our next release has multiple bug fixes. We pushed this Beta out early because of the continued parse errors with the older app.

This new app is a major downgrade from the old one.

No thread previews, really clumsy interface, jumps all over the page when loading pictures, just overall more difficult to use.
