Most recent update broke the connections
I have reported this on the Discourse meta, but I figured I would report it here. Since the latest update it appears to have broken the connection to the forum accounts, they will not connect
Navigation is terrible
While the option to structure and create the topics is amazing, the overall navigation is just a nightmare. The menu is absolutely confusing and you end up giving up in finding the required information.
Functionality removed with 2.0.1 update
This used to be an OK app to browse various discourse sites.
No longer.
The landing page used to show whether there were new posts or updates since your last visit.
You could then select a new or updated posts and either view them or discard all in bulk so the landing page would show no updates/new posts.
This functionality has been removed. So now you have to click through to see if there were any. Notifications are also no longer shown.
There is now no benefit of using this app at all vs using a web browser.

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.

So helpful with the website but…
There’s a new glitch where private message and flagged post notifications remain on. And the only way to remove them is to remove and reinstall the community. This gets annoying after a while.
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!
They don't want you to use this
Just a poor experience. An afterthought.
Good but a few missing features
Having switched back from the now-abandoned Fig app, I’d love to see a few useful features such as:
- name (or automatically pull from the Discourse site) each site so the forum list isn’t a long list of domain names
- reorder forum list by alphabetical, last updated, etc ascending and descending, or manual sort if preferred
- open site, post, etc in new window (iPad)
- submit feedback or some other way to submit feature requests
- settings such as support for Dark Mode (that could reflect the OS or forum settings), etc
- sync settings and forum list to iCloud
- collapsible multi-column support on iPad

Unmet potential
I want to like this app but I just tried it again after a few years and was bombarded with permission requests on first launch 😔 Once I got past those I tried to add 3 communities. The first one (password login) worked fine but I could not connect to the other two. It seems the app does not support GitHub auth or Single Sign On auth 🤦♂️
