  1. Hello Blades ,

    Unfortunately due to Google and Apple's guidelines , we had to disable the Push Notifications within Grasscity Forum iOS and Android apps.

    From my stand point the app is useless without the notifications so i am considering stopping it.

    But i would like to check with the community on what they think.

  2. I used to use it all the time but its seemed to be broken for the last 2 years, on android at least. I never got notifications and posting would fail sometimes. Make a new app :smoking:

  3. Never used it, but if a good portion of the users do, I'd vote to keep it

  4. I honestly believe the age of Mobile App's are ending soon. All stats highlight that App installations on mobile phones are reducing each other day and the app's that are installed are often not used by end users after 2-3 days.

    We are planning to implement a PWA ( Progressive Web App ) within 2020 which is designed to work even offline ( better then any possible app )

  5. I mainly just use the full website versions of everything on my desktop/laptop. Why am I gonna use a watered-down mobile site disguised as an "app"?

    With that being said, the trend is moving to mobile. I know people that don't even own a laptop, they just use tablets with bluetooth keyboards.

  6. That is definitely true , mobile users are around 80% of the website overall. However interestingly , users don't show much care on Apps. I also prefer using full responsive design. Way easier to handle :)

  8. That is what i strongly suggest to all users. Our responsive design is 10 better then the app in my opinion.

  9. I use the app. Because I'm lazy and use to it. I like only having to choose like. I use a lot of apps though lol so I guess I'm the odd one here

  10. Fully understandable , that is why i created this poll. To make a better decision according to our users preferences.

  12. Is this the same thing that pops ups when you use GC on an internet browser that asks you if for permission to give notifications? If so I hate that shit :laughing: I had to disable it because the icon annoyed me :confused_2::laughing:

  13. I have never used pushed notifications the few years I’ve used this site. I also don’t use the app, tried it and Prefer it on Safari.
     
  14. I absolutely hate using apps due to they are always broken and lack functions that the desk top sites have. I always use my phone and just save the desk top internet version link to my home page.

  16. I tried to use the iOS app for a bit and notifications hardly worked to begin with...... so I figure you might as well keep em :laughing:

  17. I use the app almost every day. I never used push notifications tho. I don't post on a ton of threads so it is easy for me to just use the app to look at threads I've participated in.

  19. Notifications never work on the Android app for me anyway but it is what I use for GC almost exclusively. If the app goes away I probably won't be on much if ever.
