GrandOldTeam App

Should now be working/available for iOS folk.

This one is a lot simpler, and sound for using the forum.

Poor Android folks like me, will have to wait. It should be live soon.

If you download it, please leave a review.

Preferably a good review, like.

Sound that app like

Devanski · January 9, 2021

Downloaded a couple of weeks ago... naff.
@GrandOldTeam Downloaded this morning after reading your update post and working fine.
As you say, good for access to forum.
Good front page and shop access.
One minor gripe for me ( and it may only be my early morning eyes) :Blink:

is the white font on blue background for reading the reports.

Found a bit of an issue with the forum via the app. You can’t open embedded media (like Twitter etc)

not one bit techy so don’t know if this a known issue

Are you just clicking on the link and it’s automatically opening?

I’ve just had a bit of a mess around and I need to press and hold the link, then get the options and need to select “open link”

Running iOS 14.3 on IPhone 12

Just clicking the link and it’s working.
Using IOS 14.2 on IPhone 11.
I have the 14.3 update waiting but haven’t installed it yet... could be that ?

Could be that.

could you check what the rep screen looks like on members. Probably another one for @GrandOldTeam but this is what it looks like on the app

GrandOldTeam · January 9, 2021

The app just opens a browser for the forum so it should work exactly like the default phone browser would?

Here is @Devanski rep screen, first one is via safari browser and second through the app

Devanski · January 9, 2021

The app looks exactly like your second screenshot not like the safari.

Seems pointless if that's all it does. Why not just use the browser instead of having an app take up memory?

Agree mate.

Always been the case with apps for us.

The forum is fully responsive with push notifications etc. We also have a PWA - progressive web app.

Why we have an app is to bridge app users to the forum.

There's no need to use an app for the forum but some people just like apps.
