Why is the android app so crap?

[freedom2post]

Ages ago I read a thread complaining about the android app and the OP was told that given time MN would sort out the problems.

So why is it still so crap?

Its impossible to read active conversations as the whole pags is taken up by stickies. Even if you customise talk settings to hide stickies, they are still there.

When you scroll down active conversations it only loads up a certain random number, some days not enough to get past the stickies.

If you are lucky enough to get past the stickies then you can't view all the threads as the page keeps jumping back up so most days you never see even half way the active conversation page.

Its also impossible to change any account details or even namechange whilst using the app.

When will it improve?

I was told they were working on the ipad app when i complained last week.

Yes the scrolling jumping and the threads constantly re-ordering so you see the same ones again and again is v. Annoying

The app is a bit of a damp squib, we know.

BUT - there is a new app in the process of being created. So whilst we won't be making any changes to the old Android app, the new one will be such a thing of beauty and wonder, it will erase all memory of the current app.

In the mean time, can we suggest using the mobile site? We know it's a bit of a pita - thank you for your patience.
