December 22, 20205 yr Hey Surly, We have a native mobile app available now, you can install it quickly and easily from accessing the site on any ios or android device and you will get prompted to install the application. If you want to be proactive or do some more research feel free to look at the app store links here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/bzsWOXFO - apple app store https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.invisioncommunity.communities - google play store Please give me any feedback if you install the app and enjoy the native ios and android experience!
December 22, 20205 yr I’m using it now and when I select unread content, the thread shows up but nothing ever populates underneath it. Am I just not giving it long enough? IOS 14.2
December 22, 20205 yr Just now, EE2B I’m using it now and when I select unread content, the thread shows up but nothing ever populates underneath it. Am I just not giving it long enough? IOS 14.2 That should say the top thread shows up but none of the others ever populate below it. Also, is there no edit function of a post?
December 22, 20205 yr Nevermind. Figured it out. Needs some customization to match the websites theme.
December 22, 20205 yr It looks good but too bare bones at this point. One of the 1st things that needs to be added is the ability to open a thread at either last post or last unread post when using the all topics mode.

On android there are settings for both of those options.
December 22, 20205 yr No reason to use this or tapa IMO. Site renders and looks fine on mobile browser. I have spoken.

December 22, 20205 yr Author Yeah I'm working with them in the beta program the more feedback we can give the better. I would like to see a dark theme. Next to the quote option you have the rep option but it doesn't correctly display the "Hook 'em" so it looks weird but if you tap it you have all rep options instead of tapatalk default of like. I'm working with them why the activity feed doesn't work properly. The biggest advantage so far I can tell with the app is the push notifications for your notifications. You also can select push for only DMs and stuff like that.

December 22, 20205 yr It seems to load quite a bit slower than tapa (thus far) and embedded tweets are smaller without a way I can figure to enlarge them to make them readable for my old eyes.
December 22, 20205 yr I took a screenshot and it prompted me for feedback - will you get that feedback? This pager bar slider is hard for very long threads, and it isn’t obvious if there’s an easier way to skip to the end of the thread, and I’m getting this pop up tooltip guy every time I scroll fiftyish posts
December 23, 20205 yr Downloaded the app. Found Surly. Signed in. All I have is a white screen with no way to back out. Choosing the phone back button only removes the white screen, does not close app. My smart phone techno skills are pretty fundamental. So fundamental I broke this already. That's my feedback.

But it’s all fucked up for me now and has been for about 48 hours. I can’t get into any subforums - either from the home page or directly. I can click on the last thread that shows under each forum on the home page, but nothing else. Just a blank white page. Anyone else having similar issues?

That happened to me initially after I first signed in. I used my app killing app to kill the surly app then reopened it. Worked after that.

December 23, 20205 yr Will this eventually be a stand alone app or will it always be accessed via the Communities app?

December 23, 20205 yr I got the white screen too. Restarted the app and it worked fine. You can also kill an app (on an late model iPhone) by grabbing the white bar, pulling it up until the phone vibrates and your other open apps appear, letting go, and then flicking the app upward.

December 23, 20205 yr Got to the "Content I follow" stream, but when I tap on "Past Hour" it doesn't give me additional time choices. Every time I use the "Pager bar", it lets me know I can use the "Pager bar". I hit got it, scroll to a different post, and i get the helpful call out again. The "Pager bar" system needs a "go to last", "go to last read", and "go to [open field]" options. on big threads, it's difficult to push it all the way to the end. Read the thread and saw these same issues. The pager bar needs some serious help, if you're trying to scroll quickly and accidently hit it, it takes you to a different page, it's frustrating. I was just casually scrolling through a thread, my thumb went a little low, and it took me straight to the middle of the thread. I think the idea is good, but poor execution. Would be nice to merge streams... "Content I posted in" + "Content I follow" The menu button on the top left shouldn't take you out of Surly. I tap it and it goes to the "My Communities" page. I get that other people may have multiple communities, but that button usually brings up a menu rather than taking an action. I can't see "Defund Tom Herman" anywhere. Nice to have those. Can't edit posts. Edited December 23, 20205 yr by Masshole Horn tried to edit in app
December 23, 20205 yr Like it so far. Very nice guys. one thing I noticed is that it requires text to post a pic/gif. Not too big a deal but sometimes I just post with a pic only.
December 23, 20205 yr It took me to the Royal Bank of Nigeria site. Just punched in my SSN and bank routing and account info, and I'm golden.
December 23, 20205 yr Tapa is the worst. All of the above, sans the white screen problem - but when I try to reply to a thread the formatting bar takes up the whole screen. This is on Samsung S9/android.
December 23, 20205 yr I logged into my twatter account using via the app, and now I can't read tweets.

December 24, 20205 yr Not a fan. Test drove it for a half hour. No dark mode. The post bar above the reply box interferes with scrolling. I'll keep using the web version until this gets a little better
May 14, 20214 yr This is incredible. I can't believe I've missed it for this long. Tapa is terrible. I've put up with it for a while, but the new audio ads, with no obvious way to disable sound globally, for all ads, has pissed me off too much. No going back.
May 17, 20214 yr It doesn't seem to sync read posts between browser and app, which gets irksome. And the finger swipe "go to post" feature that fucks with the scrolling is super frustrating. But it's better than Tapa
May 24, 20214 yr I thought of another thing this app is terrible at, @immamac and that thing is Twitter posts. Probably going back to Tapa soon just for that and the scroll bar post finder.
