is in an application designed for a desktop is a no-no from a UX perspective. Responsiveness is great but doesn't go far enough.

Works well on mobile, however could an app save on battery usage?

Ha, if you're routinely on CB long enough to drain your phone, you might want to

push notifications, maybe?

and offline viewing

And less data usage from loading UI over and over.

Can't see favorites on mobile.

What do you mean?

El Jefe

11/29/17 9:45am

Nevermind. Found it. It's hidden and an extra click away but I see it now.

garyfan

11/29/17 9:47am

Yay! Usability!

Accipiter

11/29/17 9:49am

Where is it hidden? Isn't it in the same place?

El Jefe

On desktop, you click "Board" and the drop-down list immediately appears.

garyfan

11/29/17 9:58am

No. Have to click Menu -> Board Menu -> Favorites

supertux

So it's under the board menu, just like on the desktop?

El Jefe

11/29/17 10:02am

The whole Menu link on mobile is not intuitive at all. No idea what to expect

supertux

11/29/17 10:04am

The difference is on mobile you have to tap a link that loads a new page to see

supertux

11/29/17 10:06am

Fair enough. It's probably my least favorite part of mobile.

El Jefe

11/29/17 10:15am

Low priority. The mobile site works quite well and this is a very minor issue.

garyfan

11/29/17 10:19am

It's a minor annoyance that I run into every once in a while. Just infrequently

supertux

11/29/17 10:22am

I have to rediscover it every time I need it.

supertux

Because CB looks awful on a mobile browser...just awful.

And me making a mobile app would change that?

I guess I just imagine the App would make CB look and feel better/easier

I do web dev work and I think Google/Apple/etc. have made life hard on the small

Consumer standards are certainly higher than they used to be

The site already works great on mobile devices

Just save the link to CB on your phone's home screen and it is basically like

westsidecoug

11/29/17 9:20am

I can agree with that

thechillcougar

11/29/17 12:52pm

It works fine but it would be more accessible.

thechillcougar

11/29/17 9:20am

how so?

mudpupper

11/29/17 9:23am

It’s just there by all your other stuff. You’d also get notified of replies

thechillcougar

11/29/17 9:25am

We need an option to make it look like I'm working in Excel or Powerpoint
