An App for the Forums

Just a thought while I use the forums on mobile, it’s not a great experience. Most notably being unable to see the thread while typing a response.

Would be nice if there was an app for the WoW Website/Forums that made mobile use friendlier.

On an android phone, you can click “install app” on the browser (dot dot dot) menu while using the forums, right?

I’m on iPhone and the only option is to switch to the desktop site (which just makes the experience worse) or download the battle.net app which doesn’t have the forums in it.

There should be an option on the iPhone to also add the website to the home screen.

I just found it and am using it to try out this message.

Exact same experience as using the webpage. I can’t view the messages in this thread while I type a response, so unable to quote people without editing a message with each quote after posting it. :confused:

It has to be only an iPhone problem. Sorry, but I use an Android, and while we have the option to add an “app”, it is just technically a short cut to the website, just without looking like viewing it on the web browser.

Jokes aside, would love to see an app on WoW, where we’re able to do everything, except for playing the game ofcourse.

Admittedly I would feel pretty silly dressing up a night elf on the train to work, if someone was peering over my shoulder…

They would know you have style, obviously.

Mobile forums are extremely easy to use on my iPhone for me. If you have feedback about the website, CS has said it goes here:

I wouldn’t. I’d be asking anyone watching if they want to dress up my Night Elf.

My only issue is typing replies. The box takes up the entire screen and cannot be moved to view the thread.

Do you have this issue as well? If so, how do you work around it? Or do you suffer in silence?

Huh, suddenly hungry for tacos.

I type in the box, then when I want to quote again, I just hit “done,” so that I can still scroll the thread and quote. The new Copy Quote functionality also helps, as well.

Here’s what mine looks like when I’m typing:

And here’s what it looks like after I hit “done” so I can scroll through and reply to others:

Nah this place is the most toxic place on earth. Nothing good happens here

Why?

  1. Changes likely won’t go into effect until you log onto the character anyhow. So it’s not going to change your forum appearance.

  2. You’re logged out so nobody can see it in the game.

Like…what’s the point? To have the perfect drip when you get back to the game? Can’t you just mount a yak when you log back in and do that anyhow?

  1. This makes the Yak obsolete now that I think about it. Why pay for a gold sink when I can download an app that lets me mog freely? I’d just use the app for mog changes and never have to worry about visiting a tmog NPC or buying a yak. Degen idea here.

It’s the same thing here on an Android device.

This is what it looks like for me. You may need to click to view I’m not sure it looks odd for me on mobile :sweat_smile:

First image is what it looks like when typing, second is what it looks like after I hit done. It does not let me move or change the size of the text box at all.
