Second, can you organize this thread better and list in the first post what version is the latest and what it shoukd address etc.? And along with that, please list issues already reported. In don't know whether what I'm about to post as issues have already neen addressed and/or reported by someone and don't want to to read 7 pages to find out.

And now, for my issues...
Samsung S21, app version 5.0.5
1. The white app background looks nice, but has two usability issues:
a. Native Android navigation buttons are white as well and not visible at the bottom, so the back button cannot be easily used for navigation back and others can be mistakenly touched and one ends up on phone home screen.
b. The bright background is not great for browsing in the dark/at night.
Solution would be a user-selectable dark theme.

2. Classifieds posts do not show the price, shipping etc header, which the desktop site has. So, many classifieds discussions refer to price being posted, but it cannot be seen in the app.

3. Notifications section count is inaccurate. But this has already been mentioned and worked on.

Good job so far!

Dark mode is coming, but it's a ton of work so it's being worked on in pieces, it's about 10% done.

We thought about releasing it incrementally each day as we add more pieces to it, but realized that people will just complain more that it's broken, and I would totally understand that, so we'd rather wait until it's about 85% ready.

The edit post bug was fixed in a later version, you are on an "old" version 😂. I kid of course, but there were like 5 updates yesterday so it feels old to me now. Try the latest version and see if edits start working for you.

A lot of Samsung users have reported problems with seeing their subscriptions and appreciating posts, but it seems like you are doing ok with those things?

Thank you very much! This is just a starting point and it will get even better. If you ever need anything or have problems just let me know.

Yes, I just appreciated your post above via app without problems.
My subscriptions show up as well.
I have automatic updates for apps turned on, so let's see when I get the newest one. I will go get it if it doesn't come today.

Hi I cant log in with version 5.0.13 Samsung s20 plus on latest Android. It recognises if you put in the incorrect password but just getting the spinning blue icon when pressing Log in with the correct password.
Have uninstalled completely a few times now.

Working well so far 👍

Ok, I just issued a version 5.0.14 which I believe might solve your problem, try it out and let me know if its any better?

It might take another 30 mins before it shows up in your local play store 👏

I thought the old app was good, but I also don't mind the layout of the new version.

Issues I'm experiencing with new version (using andriod v10 and app v5.0.15 - I just updated the app from the original release)
1) Despite logging in to the app (credentials are accepted) anytime I try and post a comment (existing or new threads) I am not allowed. I get an error stating I am not logged in -_-

2) My forums list is empty, none of my existing forums and subscriptions transferred from the old app. I cannot resave any forums; when I tap the heart it says saved, but my forums is still empty.

3) When reading a thread I don't see "OP" tag next to messages from the original poster.

4)I don't see any of the app emoji I used to when writing a post.

So much looking forward to Dark Mode. I miss this feature the most. Glad to hear that it's coming back one day.

Yup. I think it'll be here sooner than later, we are making really great progress on it. Maybe have it ready by the weekend…

Tho we never had it in the old app…

Where can we get it? I only see the old one on the Playstore?

[titomi]

Good work! I can see the navigation buttons again

It's also nice to see the smilies fully.

Keep it up!

Just downloaded v15 and I'm in. Have to say it looks good!
Well done and thanks for the effort 👌

When in "New Posts" list, pulling down doesn't refresh/update the page. How do you do it now if you want to refresh when viewing the New Post page?

[jshortwa]

Search results always results in a "No results" response. Clean installed newest Android version.

Have you turned on refresh threads automatically?

That might do it for you

[Bambazonke]

Would like to see the option to show all images in the thread again.
I found it extremely useful when trying to find old posts that had images attached to explain the topic

I am running Android 11 - so I am up to date - I just don't know where everyone is downloading it at?? Are you getting it at the playstore??? When I search bimmerpost - I get the old one and it says I already have it.

Nevermind - I reopened mine today and it seems to have updated. Thanks

[unluky]

Am I missing how to save forums to "My Forums?" My old ones did not come thru and I don't see where to add them back?
