### 4/5 — 2 problems

*2021-09-07, version 1.1.7*

You need a fig sign in for all the forums, 1 sign in allows access to all the forums,

your support email or fig help chat must be displayed prominently on the page. the mail app is not secure and does not work on all phones.

### 4/5 — Best Discourse on the go

*2021-08-21, version 1.1.7*

This has made contributing to our community forum much better. I’d give it five stars if it allowed downloading pdf file attachments. Thanks for this work!

### 4/5 — Lovely app, would love if it could save account info over iCloud

*2020-12-25, version 1.1.7*

Logging in is a chore. But love the app after the fact

### 5/5 — Much better than native app!

*2020-09-22, version 1.1.7*

After reading the description I was concerned that this app was literally only for "browsing" - without the ability to post or reply.  That is not the case!  This app allows replies and posts.  Really a great way to browse the various forums I like to read.

### 5/5 — Very nice app

*2020-06-23, version 1.1.6*

This app is very nice, as it’s a native client for discourse and definitely feels better than discourse hub. The only problem is the lack of certain features but it’s overall very nice.

### 5/5 — Really nice

*2020-06-16, version 1.1.6*

I haven’t found anything to complain about. My only issue is that you don’t support some of the forums I like. For example, Geekhack. Is there any chance you will support the forums that the Tapatalk app supports? Tapatalk is an example of how not to build an iPad app, but as far as I know it is my only option for some forums.

### 5/5 — It’s good. It’s really good!

*2020-05-15, version 1.1.3*

Fig is the native iOS app for Discourse that I've always wanted. It’s got a ton of functionality for v1 and the devs are listening to feedback and adding more quickly.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2020-05-07, version 1.0.4*

Wow, the Discover section of the app is awesome.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2020-04-15, version 1.0.1*

Clean and simple UI. App does exactly as described, leaving little more to be desired.
