Discourse Hub

I have reported this on the Discourse meta, but I figured I would report it here. Since the latest update it appears to have broken the connection to the forum accounts, they will not connect

This used to be an OK app to browse various discourse sites. No longer. The landing page used to show whether there were new posts or updates since your last visit. You could then select a new or updated posts and either view them or discard all in bulk so the landing page would show no updates/new posts. This functionality has been removed. So now you have to click through to see if there were any. Notifications are also no longer shown. There is now no benefit of using this app at all vs using a web browser. Removed.

Just a poor experience. An afterthought.

First time user never heard of discourse before and won’t be using it again. Very poor communication of how to use the app. Keep trying to add a website and it doesn’t work. Not useful at all.

I like this App and it’s useful for keeping track when you are a member of several discourse sites. It saves having to log in every time and the integration with iOS notifications is helpful. One bug in this version is that there is no back button for when you’ve opened an attachment posted to a forum. I have to exit the app and re-open it.

Phew! The in app browser is back, yay!

Seems like they’ve rolled the UI back to something useful again.

Now, every time I want to access something from within a community it opens safari and I have to log in each time! If it’s not broke...

The latest update has completely broken the app. Accounts need to be re-authorised, but then on doing so it just goes back to the original menu screen with an authorise button and no way to access the forums. Completely useless, can’t believe it’s got through testing!

Latest update is a disaster. Won’t retain authorisations. Avoid until fixed. Developers need to roll back to the previous version. New UI is dire - better idea would be to spin out a new app with the new UI and see the usage of each. I doubt that the new UI would emerge as the winner.
