Can we get a dedicated mobile app for Local Guides Connect please?

[#1]

I think this is one of the most requested idea regarding Connect, but I'm going to repeat it since we now have a (more) official space to document ideas and feedback.

The mobile experience using browser is not very pleasant, as it's pretty much difficult to do... well.. everything. Creating a post from mobile is out of the question, as most of the time I'm fumbling over different buttons before I gave up and decided to write it once I'm in front of my computer.

My mobile experience is currently almost 97% in Connect, and I can tell you that I am very comfortable with what we have, I will explain.

the main one is in iOS with an iPhone 42% and the other 50% with the iPad the remaining 5% is with an Android phone. 

With Android Phone, I find it more dense to copy and paste from one window to another, unlike iOS without detracting at all, the other platform, but I see it more fluid. And when I use the iPad, it's the best

The rest of the time 3% I use a Mac or a PC because the mobile version of the browser does not have embed videos, that when that happens, I will be a totally mobile user, without ever going through the desktop.

Try using an iPhone and you will see that a specific App is not necessary

@FaridTDF What about for those without iPhones? 🙂

I need to try your recommendations though. I actually use both iPhone and Android and found that the experience is equally bad. But I'll try to do more testing to compare.

I write this comment with my text overlapped with the comment box default texts. . My experience  here is almost always bad in mobile. so I rarely open this on my phone.. About the iPhone vs Android experience things, it's still better if we have  a dedicated mobile app. Well, surely it's more stable and practical.

Always opening up browser just to scroll up a forum it's inefficient, I think.

Btw thanks for making this thread !

My support with you @iyudhi 
Yes we need a mobile app 🙂

@FaridTDF your observation is not wrong either.

[iyudhi]

@MutiahA The overlapping text in the comment section is not just on mobile.. it's also on desktop as well. It seems like a bug with the Idea Exchange section.

I've been waiting for this feature since day 1. 🙂

We need an app for local guides Connect in playstore. It would be more convinient for us.

Thanks for the suggestion @iyudhi. While an app is not currently available, the website is mobile-responsive and, especially, we hope this new UI is even better for users accessing from their mobile phones.

Hi @LogeshKumar, this was already requested so I'm merging these posts.

 I go with @iyudhi @MutiahA @JedR @Haseeb . I'm sorry even I dont feel comfortable to use "Connect" in browser. I assure that if an app is releeased for Connect, there will be much more contribution/activity than now. @LuisRG this idea may be marked as revisit later now but I hope it would be implemented as soon as possible. Thanks ☺.
