bimmerpost mobile version is crap.

Tonifyd · 07-23-2014, 12:14 PM

Is it just me or did the new layout of this website completely ruin the functionality for android?

I use a Galaxy Note 3 and the lag is unbelievable.

I tried with Chrome, and the native internet browser, but no luck.

The Bimmerpost android app was pretty bad to begin with also. You can't click on youtube links and can't zoom properly on pictures either.

I don't know where else to post this, but Mods, could you please update the app or make the site mobile friendly?

I'm having no problems on the iOS side. Sorry about your experience!

My biggest gripes/wishes (I'm on iOS):

- Sometimes I'll write a post/PM and after tapping Submit, I'll get a "Your message was not sent" error -- and my post/PM won't be saved. The app either needs to store the contents of that post/PM to post it later in the background or at least return you to your post to try again. I sometimes write long posts, and losing them like that due to an error (which sometimes occurs even when there are no issues like network connectivity) is stupid. It's gotten to the point that I copy my text to the clipboard before submitting it, but that shouldn't be necessary, and of course the times I forget to do that are the ones that I get this error.

- I can't find a way to PM somebody by manually typing their nickname. It seems I have to either reply to an existing PM or find a post that my intended recipient made in a thread so I can tap that and choose "Send Private Message".

- I would like to have the "View more posts by this person" and "View all threads created by this person" options available.

- It would be nice if I could remove some forums from my "My Forums" list. I was able to add them just fine, but they're stuck there. Ironically, tapping the star icon in such a forum just gives me the "Great Success: This forum added to your 'My Forums' list" message.

iOS 7.1.2. Maybe I am missing an update for the app or my phone? Hah
