Comments on DiscourseHub for Android

★★★★☆ Joseph “RealJosephKnapp” Knapp · Nov 1, 2023

I like that discourse forums have an official mobile app that manages my login credentials. Although I wish it had a mobile interface instead of opening the discourse forum instances in the web browser, which I find annoying. Will change to five stars once a mobile interface is added to be used instead of the web browser and every feature supported on the mobile site is supported in the app.

★★★★★ Austin Williamson · Dec 13, 2020

A useful application. The multi-account feature and multi-forum notifications feature are very useful and make up for the loss of tabs when compared to a mobile browser.

★★★★☆ Ian Zimmerman · Sep 12, 2021

@alex Leonard: it does show you which forums have new posts, thus saving you the effort and device resources you would spend on opening those that have none. However: the setting to open custom web window is gone. Why? In fact the current version seems to have no settings at all. Is the author a little too zealous to simplify the experience? Update: fixed in last version, well done.

★☆☆☆☆ Rainbow Asteroids · Apr 13, 2020

This is the most useless app ever. It seems like it's a mobile experience for your discourse forums, but it's just a spicy list of bookmarks that redirect you into your web browser.

★★☆☆☆ Craig Veness · Jul 15, 2021

Why does this exist? It just gives you a shortcut to your forum/s, which then open in a browser anyway. Maybe it does notifications, but that's not enough features to require an app for almost all potential users of a discourse forum, I wouldn't expect.

★☆☆☆☆ Greg Zeng · Nov 27, 2020

Could not use the website, as a casual reader. Nothing like Facebook at all. Seems to be a deceptive tool to generate money from potential Facebook creators. Used YouTube etc. to try to learn how to read forums on this website. Not possible, it seems.
