Hello, (kbin.social)

Hello,

Does anyone know if there is any plans for a mobile app for Kbin?

It is really the only thing left for me to move to Kbin totally.

There are such plans, but the website itself works perfectly for me on my phone too.

Until apps release, if you don't want to have to open the website every time you want to access kbin, you can install it as a PWA (progressive web app) iirc. Not sure how that is done though, just relaying what I've seen mentioned by others.

I also use Kbin a lot on my phone during the day. I don't really get to comment though because once you comment you can't load the previous page on iOS. If you try it will open the comment editor, realize it shouldn't have done this and reload the same page. So you have to click back into all threads again once you've made a comment. That is literally the only bug I've run across. It otherwise runs flawlessly.

@moohamin12 On Chrome for android open the website, click on the Chrome 3 vertical dots, then click Install.

@moohamin12 The mobile website sucks so yeah we definitely need this.

@moohamin12 There are several 3rd party apps in development, but kbin currently doesn't have a real API for it, so it's kinda slow. I think Artemis is probably the closest to release, but is still in testing.
