  • Use to work great

    I used this app with a podcasting community that I interact with often that runs a discourse instance. App ran perfect and functioned as expected on iPhone 13 Pro Max, Purchased iPhone 15 Pro Max installed the app, anytime I enter the site information it loads like 20% of the way and just sits there doesn’t matter how poor or great the connection to the internet is. I looked for a way to email the developer and try to address them directly but doesn’t appear such an option exist. Looks like I’ll be using the client in Safari for the time being.

  • Nothing special but it works

    Notifications don’t work, and you can’t sort anything, but other then that it works just fine at its job, putting all of the discourse forums in in one place
  • Works great

    Gives me notifications for all my forums and loads the forum pages just fine. Nothing bad about this app…5/5!
  • Never opens and can’t login.

    Now I have to attempt to login every time I want to use the app. When I login with my credentials it either never logs me in or I get an “oops, something went wrong…” page.
    I have iOS 15.
  • Worthless

    Just put a shortcut to a discourse site on your phone’s Home Screen… way better than this nonsense.
  • Usable

    As has been noted, the relaunch effect is a nuisance: if you do too much heavy stuff in the interim, the app loses your place and starts out from scratch. And, of course, unlike a browser, there is no kind of tabs option, which would be immensely helpful at times.

    For me, though, the biggest defect is the to-top scroll function (where touching the top of the screen scrolls to the top of the page). I use iCab for serious browsing, which does not have this at all relying instead on a persistent scroll bar (which can also be problematic at times). The problem is that the long-scroll pageless format used by Discourse means that scroll-to-top absolutely makes no sense. Discourse has its own little quick-scroll widget, anyway. The developer/maintainer needs to disable the scroll-to-top response.

  • Literally just a web browser for discourse pages

    All it does is open a web browser for your discourse pages. Why does this even exist if that’s all it does? It doesn’t even keep you logged in.
  • Won’t pull login information

    Up until about a week ago it was working fine. But either they updated or changed something and now when I go to login it opens the webpage for logging in, I do so and then rather than redirecting me to the app it just takes me to the website.

    I have to login EVERY SINGLE TIME which makes this app pointless and worthless. Seriously how hard is it to get the redirect done right or simply have a done button on the site after logging in?

  • Working well here

    I can stay logged in to multiple different communities. Love the notifications feature. Recommending to others for sure.
  • Ditto: does what it needs to

    There’s another review out there about how this does what it needs to do, handles push notifications and offers a central places to access different instances. They’re right. I’m giving 5 stars to offset some of the other bad reviews. This app deserves better.
