Not as functional as I'd like

All of the discussions are here, but I'd love for it to be more visually helpful. You have to squint to see if there are new posts in discussions, you can't easily see which discussions you've been a part of (like the big green checkmark on the website), and the text is tiny.

Don't download

Keep crashes, horrible design, just use web site on Safari.

Great website, almost hilariously bad app

Like I said, the website and forum are excellent, but this app is awful. It's incredibly difficult to navigate, which is a large problem among many smaller problems. You should probably get it anyway

Won't even download

Unable to use as it won't download. Based on reviews it doesn't sound like a true app anyhow. CC really needs to get their act together. The site works HORRIBLY on a phone, always locking you out in the middle of a post and you have to toggle the back and forward arrows repeatedly to hopefully finally get back into your in-progress post. Sometimes it erases the post entirely. For a site this huge, not having a good app is criminal and very misguided. Put a little effort in.

Liked the older version a lot better.

I don't like how this app is basically the app in a mobile browser. Also, you can no longer browse the app in Tapatalk, what gives?

Great website but the app...

Great website but the app, after the update, seems more like a super optimized web browser and less like an actual app. The old app before the update was, albeit not as nice looking, better suited as a mobile application.
