Fluent Community Mobile puts your FluentCommunity site on your members' phones. The feed, spaces, chat and courses stay in sync with your website, so the app feels like the same place. It works with communities built on the FluentCommunity WordPress plugin. The site owner installs our plugin, then members download this app and connect by scanning a QR code or typing the site's address. WHAT YOUR MEMBERS CAN DO โ— Feed and posts Post with photos, video, audio and polls. Mention people with @, comment, react and bookmark posts to read later. Switch between list and card layouts. โ— Spaces Join spaces and open every tab you set up on the web, including Space Pages, documents, members and a media gallery for photos, video and audio. โ— Real-time chat Message one to one or in groups. Messages arrive instantly when your site runs Fluent Socket, Pusher or a custom provider. React with emoji, see unread counts and filter to unread chats. โ— Courses Work through lessons and videos, take quizzes, track your progress and restart a course any time. Lessons can complete on their own when the video ends. โ— Video When FluentPlayer is enabled on your site, videos in posts and lessons play in the same player as your website, with your skin, colours and lesson settings. โ— Profiles Badges, headlines, custom profile fields, followers and the leaderboard. Edit your profile, change your password or deactivate your account from the app. โ— Notifications Push alerts for replies, mentions and messages that open straight to the right screen. FOR ADMINS AND MODERATORS โ— Review pending, flagged and reported posts and comments, then approve or unpublish in a tap. โ— Automatic moderation and bad word filtering on posts and comments. โ— Invite members by email, see who's enrolled in a course, and manage spaces on the go. MADE TO MATCH YOUR SITE โ— Your site's colour scheme, light and dark, themes the whole app. โ— Space tabs and menu items follow what you set on the web. โ— Right-to-left languages and your community's language settings are supported. โ— Add more than one community and switch between them. Fluent Community Mobile is made by LazyCoders and works with the FluentCommunity plugin by WPManageNinja.
