Mobile app update

Will there ever be a mobile app update. So much easier to read on a phone than the website. I really like the mobile app.

If you haven't tried for a while, and haven't already done it, I would suggest activating the beta pages through your story-side user CP ( Options -> My Options tab ) and see how you feel about the reading experience through a mobile browser.

You may find the new responsive pages to be a pleasant reading experience, and it will come with the added benefit of having the complete feature set that the app lacks.

Maybe i am missing something withvwhat you suggested but it is not the same. Through a browser. The mobile app is nondescript and perfect for reading in an airport or when people are around. It is easy to adjust text size. I just wish they would add comments. It is more of a reader. What I do not need at the airport or waiting for meetings is color adds of naked folk easily seen.

I was going by the literal interpretation of your post. Specifically, "easier to read".

Trying to read on mobile with the old, non-responsive pages was certainly a less enjoyable experience. From what I've heard, the quality of the straight up reading experience on the responsive pages is now on par with the app, plus you have the ability to comment, formatting is preserved, etc. I can absolutely say that the reading experience is vastly improved over the old version. I've never installed the app, so I can't comment on the difference between them, only relate what others have said on the subject.

If your issue is not wanting the ads that appear on the browser because you're reading in public, then yep, you're stuck waiting for an app update.

I got new pages fired up. It is nice but the cam adds do not do well sitting in an airplane seat or on a train. It is also very busy. It is colorful. For at home or sitting g on the beach it would be cool. For some reason my selection of font size is not being saved.

Unfortunately, that's a beta feature that doesn't save to keep using story after story. Supposed to change to where you set it once ( until you change your mind ) and forget it in a future update.

I wouldn't count on any update of the app not having ads, either. This is an ad-supported site, after all.
