Is it me or is the app version of this community really shitty!?

11 Replies

My phone works perfectly with all other apps, but when it comes to the app for this community, it tends to behave really crappy. Whenever I need to edit a post or a response to another member, I really have a bit of a difficult time. I can't be the only one having issues. I use voice dictation a lot but this app behaves erratically when doing so. I'll have to stick to using the laptop app instead.... Gets very frustrating especially when you're in the zone to write a post but you have to deal with the technical crap

Yeah, the phone app definitely needs work so I'll switch to using my laptop instead

i never had problems until 2 days ago. My cursor started bouncing around when writing, and the last word won't post (it takes a few tries)

Yes, I'm having the same issue with that last word being included when you post. So it sounds like the app is the problem

Actually, I think it's the device. I don't use the HU app on any of my devices, and I still have trouble on my phone (android). I don't have problems on my laptop. I used to have problems on my laptop (I couldn't use quotation marks without my typing getting all messed up), but that seems to be better now. It's very strange. Using this site on my laptop was a mess but was fine on the phone. Now it's vice versa.

Thanks for the info.... I'm still having lots of problems with the phone but the laptop works perfectly. I tried clearing the cache to no avail. I also noticed that I must at the period at the end of my posts or it will delete the last word. Very strange.

I'm on a pc and HU has been getting harder and harder to use for a few weeks now.

I can't even find responses anymore. I click on the link and HU consistently takes me to the top of the post. What freaking good is that? I need to scroll through everything to see if I can find something new?! People have been getting aggravated with me because I don't respond to them. Plus I have to keep refreshing a page before it lets me type without lunacy.

One of the problems I'm having is with the cursor. If I have to edit something or correct a misspelled word, the cursor tends to bounce around

Me too. I also get phantom text I can't correct.

Very annoying. Been working slower than when I first joined a couple weeks ago

web ui is not their strong suit. The iPhone app was horrible so it is probably good they let become obsolete. You could try a different browser. I’m using chrome.

I'm definitely going to be using Chrome on my laptop. I just got done writing a post and it was so extremely frustrating using the phone. Could barely control the cursor and when I needed to make corrections it was a big hassle. I hate to sound petty, but we all often use this community to vent in the moment. But using the phone sometimes takes the winds from your sails as you vent because you're constantly fighting the app.... So it sucks that I'll have to rely on being near my computer whenever I want to post "in the moment".... The other thing that pisses me off, for some reason, since yesterday it's been more difficult to reply on a members comment. I select reply, write my post, but it will post it as a general comment instead of as a response to that member..... Ugghhh!
