Sara Boyd (saraboydauthor) | 1211 comments Hi! I downloaded the GR app to my android tablet. It's working fine except for this minor detail. I go to the UKAKF, I scroll down to whatever thread I want to go, say the Morning! thread under General Chat. Just like on the computer, it shows in red that there's X unread messages. On the computer I can click on the (X new) red tab and it takes me directly to the new messages. However, on the app it takes me to the first page of that thread. The Morning! thread has over 46,000 messages and it takes forever to scroll down the list. Am I doing something wrong or does the GR app not support that feature?

Michael Cargill (michaelcargill) | 2992 comments I've just checked it on the iPhone GR app, and it does the same thing.

You can only click on the topic, rather than the unread part.

Which is shit.

Michael Cargill (michaelcargill) | 2992 comments Actually, after going into the topic, there's an arrow in the top right corner. Clicking that will flick between going to the first message and the last message of the topic.

Not quite as useful as going to the first unread message, but there you go.

Sara Boyd (saraboydauthor) | 1211 comments There's no arrow on mine. I have a nexus 7. All it lets me do is scroll down. Without that feature the app is pretty useless to me :-(


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments i click on the bottom of my phone and it gives me the option to read newest posts first

Sara Boyd (saraboydauthor) | 1211 comments Nope. Just tried that and the only option at the bottom is to add a comment.

Sara Boyd (saraboydauthor) | 1211 comments Hahaha! I can also delete this thread as my contribution to spring-cleaning (?)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Good :o)

I quite like the app, it's not perfect but it's handy and since I discovered the group section I use it a lot more. I used to just use the updates bit but then I could only go to posts that someone had posted on recently.
