C1. Multiple Devices
It was counter-intuitive to locate the area where devices other that the one I was using could be selected as a favorite. You would need to know beforehand what the structure was before you would ever go searching for it.

I agree that this is not the best. I will have to brainstorm with
@Rob and think of all user cases... and figure out how we can improve the flow of the app and/or app setup.
C2. Multiple Devices - Sort
The entries are not sorted ... preferable would be alphabetical like ...
Motorola Droid
Motorola Droid Maxx
Motorola Droid Turbo
Motorola Droid Turbo 2
... Thom
Currently, there are only devices listed on that tab in order of popularity (which is still weird since we are still getting more users and new channels are still being created). If you search for Motorola, this would (or should) show in alphabetical order.
I am planning to add sorting/filter bar to each tab on that activity in the screenshot.
C3. Multiple Devices – Content
There are a very limited number of devices listed. In for Motorola.
None of the modern Motorola devices are listed.
... Thom
This will get fixed over time... I will also check if there are any pending channels that need to be approved that were not automatically approved without look-up table.
C4. Multiple Devices – Motorola Droid
The Motorola Droid forum/channel always has been a source of confusion. It has been a collecting point for a lot of misfiled Motorola products that had names starting with Motorola Droid. A lot of people never realized it was the first model delivered.
Segregation by age helped. If there were models over 3 years old and models 3 years old or younger it would help.
... Thom
Interesting idea. I think that once we get filtering setup and you can easily sort by popularity, users, etc... this may help. Anything else would be manual moderation of some sort to separate those... even if it would be adding an extra year column in our channel table to filter/sort by. Will put more thought into this.
C5. Verizon Wireless
The placement of the Verizon Wireless forum/channel in the attached screenshot is strange.

There is a bug with the Verizon icon for the favorites... I will test and fix that. Could be resolved already but I will confirm today. I will also look at sorting the Favorites too.
C6. My Stuff Format
The My Stuff area should be laid out the same as the Timelines area ... a logo and title and then underneath it the text spanning from the left edge of the screen to the right edge of the screen. There is a lot of dead space on the left side at the present time.
... Thom
This whole tab will be replaced/fixed soon. I was holding off due to other priority issues and dependant API changes but I can start planning/designing this out. Feel free to give suggestions as it sometimes is hard for me to see the perspective from users since I am always coding/testing/coding/testing and not using the app consistently as a user would.
C7. Like Counts Missing
I have a post that when listed using Internet Explorer on a Windows 7 desktop lists one Like.
When I list the same post in My Stuff it does not indicate that there are any Likes.
This is more than 8 hours after it was Liked.
... Thom
You should never use Internet Explorer and Windows 7 in your complaint
On a serious note, I will just make sure this is fixed or doesn't happen when I redo that tab.
The post title I read previously stays on top of the thread list.
By design, if click on the parent breadcrumb (channel)... it would should the last thread you viewed. There is a bug that I am currently fixing that this breadcrumb (thread title) would remain after closing the channel/thread and opening it again.
When in a thread, scrolling down makes the reply button disappear. I have to scroll up to get it back.
This is by design. The FAB is a nice quick action but always is in the way. Common UI/UX is to hide on scrolling. Did you have a better idea on how to handle this? Maybe another app that does something better? It should hide when scrolling towards the bottom of the list and also hide when you are at the bottom (to prevent interfering with the pagination bar.
Also the back arrow in the header area does nothing until I pull the header down to expand it. And I had to make this post because there's no edit button.
Indeed. Nice catch. I will fix this.
The 3 dots sometimes has an Edit option.
The New Post button would cover the navigation.
Can you confirm that this is still happening? We had a security issue that we had to fix, which token scopes were limited during this time. The pop-up menu should overlay the FAB. Is this not the case for you?
I didn't even see the 3-dot menu because of the poor contrast with the dark theme.
I will do some testing on the dark theme to change contrast as needed. I think it comes down to issues with the dark theme when you have a less than 50% brightness (plus could be different for everyone and how they see darker shades).
(I couldn't even FIND this thread via the app to post this, so having to post from a desktop)
Firstly, I know people are working hard on this and it must be very discouraging to get so many people grumbling. That said....
(Using from an LGV20)
- interface is really confusing. The whole "+" in a circle to change views is very counter-intuitive, as every other app I have uses "+" as an indicator of a new post or message. Even more counterintuitive is having to hit "back" to go to the previous view. How about another icon in a circle to keep it consistent and let you toggle between the two views? Or even tabs at the top that you can slide between to find all those lists/categories/ways of viewing?
- It crashes if I switch between the timeline view and forum index and back again.
- colorscheme is not wonderfully vision-friendly, particularly "faded" options.
- titles are big, but text is small.
Sorry to be Debbie Downer, but it's still not a wonderfully user-friendly client - thanks for your efforts and I hope the feedback helps!
Thanks for the feedback! We are constantly trying to improve the UI/UX so I will note all your suggestions. Could you elaborate on what exactly in the color scheme you dislike?
Thanks Steve- it's back, but still getting FC's while browsing (although it does recover by itself after the FC) and some content isn't loading. Previews in My Stuff are going to the first post rather than the most recent.
Update- clearing data seems to have helped with the FC's, but I can't see any content in the device forums unless I suscribe to them.
I hopefully will have fixes for these crashes today. I will check your support id for your particular crashes as well to see if I find anything new.
Aye aye. Got the new version and two-step worked like a charm.
Awesome! I will be improving the flow of this a little more as well as fixing the whole sign-out and clearing data as expected. I was up late last night and wanted to get a build out for the https support. Have some other changes pending that will be in the next build. Thanks for testing!
