UKBF Mobile App

[Ozzy]

I'd like some feedback on the mobile app please folks for those who are into mobile apps and like to use them, we've updated Xenforo which runs this site, and that fixed some issues with PWA (Progress Web App).
It's not an App in the app store, you install it through your mobile web browser (instructions can be found here).

Known Issues;
- Navigation to go 'back' to the page you were on before.
- Upvote button on a post isn't clear on base of posts.
- Google Pay only prefills payment details and doesn't auto-transact.

We also need to consolidate the list of options available for what notifications you can opt-in and out of, the default list on Xenforo is a bit long (available at the bottom of the page here).

Do let me know your feedback in this thread please.

When you get a notification on your phone clicking takes you to the homepage. It then takes a number of clicks to find the actual notification.

2FA uses email which by definition isn’t instant messaging. It can take many minutes before the email arrives.

When you enter the code and click the button nothing apparently happens. Ideally the label should change or the button hide. Otherwise you end up clicking again.

Also agree that losing the browser controls is annoying. Not just the back button, you can’t access the url or bookmark/copy the page to paste in an email.

A reworked mobile homepage would make a big difference. In fact even the desktop homepage needs sorting.

The notification I got for your reply above brought me direct to your post. I clicked it from the home screen on my iPhone. Are you able to double check or confirm which notification you are clicking on that takes you to home page?

I use the Authy app for my 2FA and not email, the app being instant.
You can use email for 2FA as a choice or you can use any app such as Authy, or Microsoft, or Google Auth, etc. The app options are instant, and some can pre-fill the code into the UKBF page.
