Discourse is the 100% open source discussion platform built for the next decade of the Internet. It works as: - a mailing list - a discussion forum - a long-form chat room The application provides: - A central spot to view all notifications, unread counts and new counts from your forums - Real time push notifications for officially hosted Discourse forums - Authentication via Safari for quicker access to your sites
Use to work great
I used this app with a podcasting community that I interact with often that runs a discourse instance. App ran perfect and functioned as expected on iPhone 13 Pro Max, Purchased iPhone 15 Pro Max installed the app, anytime I enter the site information it loads like 20% of the way and just sits there doesn’t matter how poor or great the connection to the internet is. I looked for a way to email the developer and try to address them directly but doesn’t appear such an option exist. Looks like I’ll be using the client in Safari for the time being.
United StatesNothing special but it works
Notifications don’t work, and you can’t sort anything, but other then that it works just fine at its job, putting all of the discourse forums in in one place
United StatesWorks great
Gives me notifications for all my forums and loads the forum pages just fine. Nothing bad about this app…5/5!
United StatesNever opens and can’t login.
Now I have to attempt to login every time I want to use the app. When I login with my credentials it either never logs me in or I get an “oops, something went wrong…” page. I have iOS 15.
United StatesDoesn’t keep me logged in anymore
Every time I go to open the app it asks me to login which is annoying. This was never an issue until the latest update. I have iOS 14.8.
United StatesWorthless
Just put a shortcut to a discourse site on your phone’s Home Screen… way better than this nonsense.
United StatesUsable
As has been noted, the relaunch effect is a nuisance: if you do too much heavy stuff in the interim, the app loses your place and starts out from scratch. And, of course, unlike a browser, there is no kind of tabs option, which would be immensely helpful at times. For me, though, the biggest defect is the to-top scroll function (where touching the top of the screen scrolls to the top of the page). I use iCab for serious browsing, which does not have this at all relying instead on a persistent scroll bar (which can also be problematic at times). The problem is that the long-scroll pageless format used by Discourse means that scroll-to-top absolutely makes no sense. Discourse has its own little quick-scroll widget, anyway. The developer/maintainer needs to disable the scroll-to-top response.
