IMO on the latest version with chat enabled and a small (iphone 12 mini) the experience leaves a lot to be desired. I’d love to see a single react native app emerge, along with some kind of documentation for OSS plugin developers to build their own react native UIs to support instances that use the app.
Since upgrading to iOS 18, I’ve been having trouble with the app. Initially, I was able to reconnect to my community by reinstalling the app and logging in again, but after a few hours, it disconnected. Now, the app no longer accepts my usual username and password, though I can still log in through the web, so it’s not a password issue.
It seems like a new security setting in iOS might be blocking access. Is anyone else facing this issue? Any ideas for a fix?
After further testing, I’ve found that the issue seems to be isolated to our community. I’m unable to replicate the problem when connecting to Discourse Meta.

Any chance to be able to hide the description of each forum?
Reason is that I already know what they are so would rather fit more on screen.
Just the icon, title, URL would be enough.

I like this suggestion. At some point, I was playing around with a beta version of the app where a user setting would toggle the description on/off. Other features became more pressing, so I pushed that branch aside… but this makes a lot of sense as a next change to make in the app. Thanks!

This is now implemented and coming soon (pending Apple review).

Looking good (just realised I was still on TestFlight build)

I find the changing of row heights quite annoying. It means that—for any row other than the top row—the rows themselves and UI elements within are never in the same place twice. Plus, changes in more than one row mean the movement multiplies the further down the screen you go.
So, a request for some style tweaks to achieve:
- consistent row height
- more forum rows per screen
Suggestions for how:
- move totals for new posts etc into badges on the right like we get for DMs and watched topics. I’m imagining some kind of minimal table layout on the right of each forum row?
Also, one more:
- allow switch off the Sites / Hot Topics tabs, I never use it and would prefer to fit an extra forum row on screen
Thanks for your consideration!

Any thoughts on the above?
I’ve now got enough forums that they extend to more than one screen so this problem is compounded.

Are you referring to some rows being taller due to having an unread or new link and others don’t?
That’s unavoidable at the moment. The alternative would be to make every row reserve space for those links, even if they’re not there, which would result in empty white space.
Moving them into badges on the right would make the tap space too small imo, and there’s no clear symbol to indicate unread nor new, so we have to rely on text.
That’s a reasonable ask imo. We don’t have any settings at the moment, but it would be good candidate if we ever start with them.
Appreciated your thoughts!

Yes, and the compounded effect of whether those are there changing the layout drastically.
White space is not necessarily bad. At least then things would always appear in the same place, which would ease cognitive load quite substantially. If things appear in the same place you don’t have to think, if the layout changes every time you need to process the whole thing from scratch every time.
Respectfully, I disagree. The tap area is already frequently too small as it changes based on its content (because it is a link with variable text, rather than a button with a fixed size).

We have a settings screen for the app on Android only. On iOS, I have been hesitating to add the screen for only this one feature. However, we can add it if we have two or more options. For example, we could have these two:
- show Hot Topics in Home screen
- show site URLs in Home Screen
By default these two would be checked (i.e. no change in behaviour for users). When unchecked, the Home Screen would be cleaner, without the Sites / Hot Topics tabs and without the URL of each community below its name. This should also result in consistent heights for each row (given the logo height).
