There’s An App For That!

Is this new, or did I just stumble upon it now? In any event, I’m loving the Ivar app - good things all around.

Well it’s new to me cause I have no idea what you’re talking about? Is it a Camino forum app?

Yes! At least for iPhone.

Ok. I found it. It’s called it’s just called the “Camino Forum.” It seems to be the forum website in an app.

Interesting and handy, especially when you’re doing a Camino! I’m amazed that I didn’t know about this, thanks.

It’s still a bit buggy - the “link” to who has written a reply doesn’t really work, and so far I don’t see where you can check notifications, but it is a good start.

It’s been there about 2 years hasn’t it? Think there was a new release recently!

In the iphone App Store it says it was created four years ago. It does seem a bit buggy. Which is perhaps why it’s not talked about here.

I had a shortcut to the forum on my home screen which seems to do the same thing. Unless the Camino app actually contains the forum data?
I think it must be more like an organized shortcut because that would be way too much data.

I don’t know tbh! I remember it being launched quite a while back and I assumed most people used the app (I do mainly but then I don’t use a laptop so do everything on phone and app tends to be easier).

Maybe I’ve got it all wrong tho!

I have the app, but I don't use it. I find the mobile version of the site to be more useful for me, since I can open several threads at once.

I have the app on my iPhone, functionality seems far more limited, and in some ways has been worse since the last upgrade to this site, so I don't use it that much

 

[El Cascayal]

I use the app on my IPhone. This thread makes me wonder how much I’ve been missing?

Does it have a name?

Does it have a name?

"Camino Forum"

Huh! Who knew?! I've been hanging around the forum for 3+ years, and this is the first I've heard of the app. Good idea!

Ivar made a big announcement quite a while ago. I tend to use the app and the email links.

The app was introduced in tHis thread, and this one has more discussion and the video.

Like @trecile , on my phone, I prefer to use a shortcut to the "full" browser version of the forum. At the time the app was launched, I tried to familiarize myself with it, but gave up. It does not have the functionality of the web forum. I saw no advantages to it but a number of disadvntages for the way I use the forum.

Maybe those drawbacks are why it hasn't been talked about much.

If others prefer it, that's great!
