Your Androids App Sucks
Been testing out the RIU app and I got to say im pretty disappointed that i can't view photos or videos and long posts get cut off.
A real gardener is not a man who cultivates flowers; he is a man who cultivates the soil. Organic gardening is based on knowledge and techniques gathered over thousands of years, using sustainable and holistic approaches.

I cant download any pot!
I get a sharp pain in my balls when I watch FOX! Oh sorry I thought we were bitching randomly.
I actually am interested in getting this app and checking it out, is it really that bad though? I'm wondering if I can load it onto my Kindle Fire for use...
Strange maze, what is this place? Hear voices over my shoulder, nothing's making sense at all...
The concept of them having an app is great. I just think it's dumb that you can't see any photos that are attached to a post. That's not as bad at the Kindle Fire though. Last time I was on RIU using the Kindle Fire I couldn't reply to any posts. The Kind Fire's browser doesn't like the page editor this forum uses. If you root your kindle fire and get Dolphin Browser or Opera Mini then you can post on the RIU forums. You could also get the app if you root, but its not any better then using a browser. In fact using a browser is actually faster since you can book mark the forum and go straight to a particular category. With the app you have to wait for the home screen to load then click the menu button and then click on forums. And for some reason the pages load a little slower on the app then they do on the browser.

I cant seem to upload any pics either way
Tapatalk is a great app. Free for RIU to join too. Sent message to admin... No reply. Hard to tap tap out detailed replies on a iphone.
the layout of the app is a lot more mobile-friendly than this site is on a tiny screen using the regular browser. all that resizing and scrolling drives me batshit.
the inability to see 90% of the pics is kind of a dealbreaker, though. i can only see copy and pasted pics, no attachments, and GIFs don't move. and DAMN does that thing store a lot of data.
for reading text and replying it's great. but if you need to actually do stuff and see pics, it needs work.
I've chosen a signature.
So you're saying the app is as good and functional as the actual site?

I've already talked to "Rollitup", who told me that they won't enable Tapatalk. It's pretty lame IMO, since it would just take adding a few lines of code to their database. Apparently they're not truly concerned with optimizing the user experience.
