There is no mobile app, it’s just the website repackaged in “app” form with some grouping ability for multiple sites.

You can’t get device notifications on iOS unless you are on our hosting, or have signed up for your own Apple developer account etc.

Yes, the app is available in both app stores. Simply search for the word “Discourse”

You would need to fork the open source code and ship your own app with your name on it. Like “Joe’s Awesome Forum App” or something. You would need to sign up for Apple and Google developer accounts and all that.

Out of the box, the Discourse Hub app works with all up to date Discourse sites that are on https, though.

If you don’t understand, then probably you shouldn’t worry about it? Just install the app from the Play or iOS store and carry on.
