Let me address the App.
Here is my opinion posted not too long after the App came to be:

The apps are the not the end all for the site and forum. The site and forum is best viewed on a computer browser which is what the site was designed and created to work with.
The apps are to help view the threads on mobile devices when you do not have computer access..........As far as certain app tools working, since we have specialized coding on the forum backend, it's possible that there is a coding conflict with certain app features. Can happen when making something that is created for a computer browser being viewed in something it was not orginally created for.
We are not the developers of the app........We joined the Outside Hub network to have our forum on the list of other outdoor related sites to help viewers see threads on their mobile devices when a way from a computer.
I guess the silver lining is the App is FREE. It is an extra tool to help folks view threads on mobile devices........like checking their ads for responses while out in the woods or answering an ad while out in the woods.
That is why I go to forums on browsers on mobile devices instead of the different apps forums have as they are very limited.
Since the site was designed and geared for computer browers, you will not have the same tools and features on the app as the full blown computer based browser hence why I use the mobile browser over the app.
If you want those full features, instead of viewing the forum though the App, use a browser on your mobile device.
Most Android devices have Google Chrome as default, then there are choices you can download from the Play Store: FireFox, Dolphin, Maxthon, Opera, and etc...
(I use Chrome and Maxthon on Android devices).
All Apple devices have Safari as default, then there are choices you can download from the Store: Google Chrome, FireFox, Mercury, Atomic, Dolphin, and etc...
(I mainly use Mercury on Apple devices).
