    Glad you're enjoying it!

    The Library view really needs love...I'll see if I can't spend an hour or two this weekend at least adding links to it. I agree though, it needs a search or filtering of some type.

    Only just downloaded this, and really like it. The only complaint I have, and I don't know if it's just my phone, or everyone's, but in the stories section it doesn't bring up a link to the story, just the summary.
    Is that right, or should there be links available?

    That's correct, I haven't added it yet.

    1.1.0 is out now (or whenever Google Play pushes it out to your country).

    Notable changes:
    - Rough cut of an actual library view
    - Threads with >1000 posts can be viewed in their entirety.
    - Look & feel updates -- more to come
    - Basic bug fixes.

    Things to come:
    - Latest Threads in addition to Latest Posts
    - Ignoring a thread
    - Starring a post (maybe)

    I'm having trouble with my app on android. My Samsung S4 just done a system update, and every time I now load the app, it crashes almost straight away.

    Iv'e tried uninstalling and re-installing it, but still the same problem.

    Any ideas on what may be causing it, or how I can fix it?

    So how far along is that ignore a thread feature? With all these forum games that are being run on here the app is quickly becoming unusable as it's swamped with all those posts.

    Have you been reporting the issue when it happens? I need data to pinpoint the issue.

    I've been pretty busy, but I'll try to get 1.2 out some time in the next week.

    Yea every time I get the option to send a report I have been doing. I'll try again now and send another report if it doesn't work.

    Release - 1.2.0

    1.2.0 is out on Google Play. It may take a few hours to trickle out across the world.

    I removed the problematic BugSense code that was causing the open/crash routine. 1.2.0 doesn't have a lot in terms of new functionality, but it is significantly prettier. I'll be doing more redesign work as I go.

    Additionally, while I have disabled it for the 1.2.0 build, but there's a close to complete thread ignore system. Expect to see that soon.

    Minor ui problem, the titles for assholes like me with colours/bold text are including html tags.

    Sorry for the double post but I thought I should give you feedback.

    I am not really using it. It was an interesting thing to explore but I am not using it anymore.

    The reason being that I mainly browse via User CP and the New Posts tab.

    If you could include a user cp tab that would really do it for me. A reply function would also be nice.

    As is I see no reason to switch to the app when the mobile browser experience fulfills all my needs.

    I cannot be the only one.

    I still have this installed though. :)

    What do you mean, you mainly browse via User CP? Example workflow?

    I imagine he primarily browses using the subscriptions view. That and new posts are the easiest way to see if anything is worth reading.

    Sorry for taking a while to reply. Yes, that is what I meant. I browse through the subscription view primarily.

    New Posts secondary.

    I usually only browse by forums when I feel like searching for a story.

    But I'd imagine that the mobile app would primarily be for people to check in with DLP and maybe reply to somewhere where they have already replied.

    That's what would be most useful, I'd imagine for a mobile app.

    Just my 2 cents. I hope this helps with your development Raven.

    Helpful, yeah. One thing I have about ready to go is a Subscription view. Replies to things is currently on hold, but I could see PMs being a natural first step.

    The issue (solved recently) is that writes need to go through vBulletin's code in order to ensure all the right places get updated, vs. reads which I'm able to do directly out of the MySQL database that backs DLP. Reads are easy, writes are a bit harder. I've managed to put some lipstick on vB that'll allow me to start doing writes.
