A little glitchy

It’s a little glitchy and hoping it improves.

Barely usable on iPad

There are so any issues with this app on iPad—I’ll just focus on navigation.

Once you load the app and you click on the notifications, and then click on a single notification, you can *NEVER get back to the home screen. The comments box covers the app navigation menu at the bottom of the sidebar. *Sometimes, if you flip away from the app, and then come back, it appears, but not every time. Similar things like this happen that make using this—what would otherwise be an awesome, convenient alternative to the website or mobile—almost unusable. There needs to be a way to minimize the pane on the right, and the comments field/box across the bottom so that you can actually move around the topics and categories.

I really hope this is fixed because having access to Circle communities on a separate, mobile device is really nice.

Can’t view comments or DM within app

The desktop app is nice, but the iPhone app does not allow the ability to view comments. You can like a post, create your own comment, but there is no ability to tap “comments” to view your own comments. There are other issues, for example you cannot tap on a persons name to DM them. When you tap on their name it brings you to an info screen where you can view their posts comments and spaces but cannot dm them like you can on desktop. I’d love to use this for my community, but using it as a user inside others communities it has caused some frustration and I wouldn’t want my users to feel that same frustration, hence my looking elsewhere. Once these issues are fixed I’ll update my rating and review.

Unusable

Unusable compared to using in a browser, pretty much a waste of time downloading.

Flakey

Just lost 15 minutes of typing in sending a personal message.
