Anyone else had a problem accessing Boards on their phone the last few days?. My Samsung Galaxy won't run the App since Friday.

Working okay for me at the moment. Site was down for a bit the other day, and I sometimes get the Cloudflare message.

Am posting this from Brave.

Been working fine for me via Chrome and the touch site. Only change is cloudflare checks when I first open the site.

Have they actually made the app usable these days?

Hi folks,

Spotted this thread on the home page, so thought I'd chime in. We had some technical issues last weekend and again last night, but working to rectify these. However, I'm afraid that it's unlikely that the app will be working over the weekend.

For what it's worth, we recommend using touch.boards.ie for mobile browsing, as the app is no longer supported.

How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

Not working for me currently and wasn't working all weekend either. I can see the pages through the app but posts and forums don't load

Jaysis mark, you guys are getting a hammering at the moment, is it technical issues on your end or external factors? Thanks for your efforts in rectifying these issues

You do realise that the Android app is by far the most user friendly access point for many? I'm sure you have your reasons for not supporting it but you are losing a lot of business.

Sorry Mark can you clarify if the app is under repair or no longer supported?
Thanks

What's the story with the app - is it still as bad as it was a year ago? I've never had a problem with it running on Chrome.

The app is no longer supported. However, when full service is restored (it's linked to Responsive Site) the app will be back online.

Unfortunately, there's only so many versions of the site that can be supported and maintained, etc.

How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

Still the same as this for me. Chrome only on Android. Other browsers all give the message above. Sometimes it fails immediately, sometimes it does a Cloudflare check before failing.

The app has always been dreadful, I have always used the touch.boards.ie on Chrome and it's been great...

I am not an expert in this business but among the many versions available, I'd have thought Android phones were used by a lot more people than some of the others.
