The WSO mobile app is garbage
Trying to search threads is impossible. Certain categories disappear then come back. Half the time it doesn't even recognize I'm logged in.

Yeah I think its better on Safari on an iPhone than the mobile app.
Thanks for complaining... I think we need to get back to basics... We're adding a dark mode and here I have users complaining about staying logged in. SMH
what you're describing sounds like more caching than anything else, but it;s not acceptible. If you can give us more details, that would be greatly appreciated by my small team.
thanks,
Patrick
Thanks for being willing to take feedback. Here are some comments I have: -The search function is practically useless. If I want to go find a specific user or post, I need to go do that in a mobile browser or in my PC. The app will not pick it up and I’ve tried clearing caches and stuff. -I have limited scrolling within threads, meaning after maybe ~100ish topics, I cannot pull down anything older and when I pull it down it just refreshes nothing. -I get signed out fairly often, and when I try to sign back in, it won’t register that I did (this issue has happened less recently, but still does from time to time) -When clicking on a profile, I cannot PM them and need to do that from a mobile browser or my PC -The titles on anonymous posting are incorrect sometimes (for example, I was going to reply to something anonymously, but for the title, it was going to label me as like a Portfolio Manager when I of course am an analyst in banking, as I entered into my profile) -Also, and this might be an issue that pops here, when I hit return to start a new line, it will still jumble everything together into one big paragraph on the mobile version (for this post, I am also separating everything by “-**” Again, these are issues I’m having on the mobile app, not in a browser or on the PC
Thanks, ios or android? Possible for you to tell us what version you're running? Very helpful details!
I think we've ironed out a lot of these... PMs coming to the mobile app soon.
Please let me know if the other issues, especially logout/login and caching issues are still an issue. Thank you
Thanks for jumping on the grenade. Top issues are:
App fails to recognize I'm logged in, requiring me to exit and sign back in maybe once every 30 minutes or so.
The round category filtering radio buttons at the top of the home screen occasionally go away. For example OFF was missing for about a day. I agree it may be a caching issue since it came back on restart of my phone (android)
Dark mode sounds good.
I've heard search is a big resource intense PITA, so not asking for miracles, but the search function in the app is just as likely to pull a thread from 5 years ago as something recent and active, which strikes me as probably not what you intened.
Links to other threads are generally not clickable in the app.
I wrote this with proper formatting, because I am not actually a monkey with a keyboard, but it came out looking like this in the post.
Can't add a profile image. When I go to upload it lets me click through after selecting the image but nothing happens.
Thanks
My comments on mobile keep getting automatically duplicated. Fix it.

Thanks, will check into it
Hey, in case you wanted more details on bugs and stuff, I find that sometimes when I want to check a thread, I scroll to the end and the app crashes repeatedly. Weirdly it's fixed by uninstalling then re installing. Also on the same note, I can't always see all the comments (compared to the Web version). Hope this helps
Another issue - opening links to other threads on the app usually just takes me to the WSO homepage on an in-app browser instead of just switching to that thread within the app
Not sure if this has been stated already, but for some reason when redirecting to the app from clicking on a WSO link from a mobile browser, 90% of the time the thread is lost and I’ll just end up on the WSO homepage.
Hi, is there a way to see your notifications on the iOS app? I think this should be one of key things to be included in the app
Can’t see pics posted
would be nice if WSO app were available in landscape for the ipad.
Are you working on a way to save posts?
There is the follow function but it doesn’t really work. I’ve just been emailing myself links from the app and then bookmarking, or taking screenshots of helpful comments...
yes, bookmarking and bringing the PMs to the mobile app are next...
Have some of the same problemas as OP. (Android btw.)
Will frequently be logged off, and after getting back in, the app won't recognize I did.
Links for other threads will open WSO's home page on the browser; will never redirect within the app or at least to the actual thread on the browser.
Very rarely, comments will appear but OPs will keep loading when entering a thread.
I’m having lots of bugs as well but generally on WSO. Giving bananas doesn’t really work, nor shows the right amount (funny/interesting).
Hoping for the next update!
An issue for me is that I click on a post, it flashes the post for a second, and then the screen goes blank. I re-launch the app and try to open it up again, and it still goes blank. Also, on posts with multi-page comments, sometimes it doesn’t show one or all of the comment pages. Lastly, it doesn’t seem like links work on mobile at all. Even linking to another thread doesn’t work.
Thanks, ios or android? Possible for you to tell us what version you're running?
I have the same issues described, ios 1.4.6
IOS, most recent version
logging in thru socials doesn't work. just kinda gets stuck/shows error page
Thanks, ios or android? Possible for you to tell us what version you're running?
android. no idea which version soz
Instead of shitting on the guy providing you with an awesome community for free, try productive critique...
Not trying to step on Patrick's dick. He's already been gracious and asked for more detailed feedback.
All good, we need to improve mobile app... These are some critical bugs and better to have people complaining and giving us a chance to fix it 😁
Thanks. Fwiw I love the platform and appreciate the hard work you and the team do to make it happen
i have 0 issues browsing WSO on mobile on chrome. why is an app needed out of interest?
allow for better notification system, especially for iPhones
You can't post from the browser version, very annoying
Is there any way to make the search function the top priority? It's literally unusable. I've tried to recommend friends use this site to look up specific things that they want to get insight about and it's impossible to do as the relevant search results 99% have nothing to do with what was typed in. Also the "exact match" option will sometimes return nothing even if its a simple search like "JPM pay"
Usually i will type in BB/EB Ranking 2020 WSO into google/safari and it pulls up the most relevant threads right away.
Just type in what you want then add "WSO" to the end.
Are you talking about the app or the search functionality in general?
Pictures and gifs never load in posts. Would love to see that fixed
App works mostly fine for me (pictures and gifs don't load well as mentioned above tho). Other than that, it's very very solid in terms of bugs. That being said, I'd love to be able to PM people on the app.
Pls fix. Thx.
On it.
WSO mobile app DMs are still more active than my Instagram DMs
Maybe it's just me but I've never been able to see or get notifications on the app.
Same, thats my biggest gripe.
Wow, is it on iOS version?
If I click on a link in the app for another thread then it brings me to a page that I’m signed out of
this should be fixed now
On the iOS version, quoted text isn’t formatted properly. Instead of formatting the quoted text like on the web version, it just shows up as jumbo’d up plaintext.
“
”Can confirm, iOS app crashed as I opened this thread.
how about now?
Yeah I have swiped right like a thousand times and haven’t gotten a single match
hey monkeys, just an update here...the dev team is hard at work trying to recreate these bugs and fix the most critical ones (oauth/social login / logout) first, but the mobile app is getting a lot more attention this week, so I expect that by the end of this week or early next you will start to see some major improvements.
Thank you for your patience!
Patrick
App is fine but definitely lots of kinks to work out still. Dark mode would be nice. Would not call it “trash” but a lot of what people say here is true. Weird log-on issues though not as much lately. Unable to perform company searches via app (would be a nice addition, I regularly search for comp). Generally though I like the app and interface is solid.
Dark mode live (i think) if you have latest update. See upper right corner of screen and you'll see a moon.
lmfao
This post jinxed me so badly... once I saw this my app wouldn’t stop crashing
how about now?
App's been better but not perfect. Thanks for checking in!
any bugs that you can be specific about to help our team? thank you!
Basically what others are saying. When I tap on certain threads the screen will become white for a second and then crash. Best of luck
Thanks...can you be more specific of where there are still bugs please? it really helps to get real world feedback :-)
I don't remember many specifics but I do remember this particularly happening repeatedly with the thread of the guy and his tinder messages
Just wanted to say that the team is working hard on this and we're hopeful that by the end of this week we at least have the login/logout issues fixed and the linking within the app fixed... stay tuned.
Hired Sellout - can you explain more about searching threads being impossible? We are pushing a lot of fixes to mobiel app by early next week. hopefully you see improvements. Thank you for your patience.
I was having an issue where I'd search a term like, "corporate development 2020" and in the top 3 results would be some thread from 2018. It's not literally impossible, it's just the boolean language interpretation is a little iffy
I also have issues with the app freezing / not able to open recent trending threads for some reason... it will crash every time for certain threads
Are you still having this issue? iOS? Thanks
My app crashes randomly whenever I click certain threads.
How about this t-shirt nonsense? If I don't want it, I don't want it. Quit having it appear after I click "x" the first time.
We don't need to see it every time we want to comment.
sorry, shoudl stay shut once you close it, turned it off until dev team checks that
Can't log in to my account on the app, also the new comments don't come in the skin color for me.
