Is the new update for the PF app a game changer?

  • Thread starter vhbelvadi
  • Start date
In summary, the PF app for iOS has received a great update that improves its functionality and appearance. The developers have done a nice job. Users are also happy with the new accessibility to the Insights blog. Some users have also noticed a loss of the "subscribe" function but have found a way to specify threads they want to follow. There have been some issues with the unread stream and scrolling on mobile chrome, but these seem to have been resolved. There is some confusion about the updates stream and what updates it shows, as some users are seeing updates from threads they have not subscribed to.

For long I've felt the PF app (iOS, no idea about Android) was lacking. Today's update is great. Makes it work great and look great. Nice work, developers.

I like the new iOS interface better as well. But my only complaint is that I seem to have lost my "subscribe" function. There are many threads that I don't feel competent to contribute to, but I still like to try to follow the discussion.
I'm sure there's a way to specify threads that I'd like keeps abreast of... but how?

The star.

Edit: Is the unread stream broken? I don't understand what it shows: unread updates from my subscribed forums? Wouldn't that just be too much?

I'm not sure if this is related, but as of yesterday, I can no longer scroll in mobile chrome post text boxes. So I'd better get the post right the first time!

I get an error message with Android: Can't connect to the server, try again later.

Not related, but I will look into it :)

Can someone clarify the updates stream for me. What updates do I see there? It's not just from my subscriptions; I'm seeing updates from every single thread, so that's a lot and, if that is what it is, it makes the updates stream pretty useless.

Are you somehow "watching" every thread?

Unlikely. I see updates, for example, from engineering, computer science homework and biology sections which I have never visited, let alone subscribed to. I'll visit my profile later on my Mac, check again and update here.

Update: Everything looks good. I'm not watching all threads, but I still get an overflowing updates stream.
