Similarly no history in messages.

Does your avatar consistently show up at the top right part of the screen?

It's insane! LoL (not the app the users that do this!)

Seriously. Nothing worse than people who reply to a giant ass post and make me scroll for ages just to see a one word reply 🤦🏼

Hi,

A little while ago, I downloaded & installed Bimmerpost v5.0.1 for Android on my Samsung S21+, running Android 12. I am writing this message on my PC

I can see and read news item, BUT when I select forums:
* My Forums. All I get is blank screen
* Subscriptions. I get No connection screen (see attached)

Also, when I tried to send a message on my phone, I got a not logged in message, even though I was logged in

I've logged out and back in; have also tried rebooting my phone -- no luck

UPDATE: I even logged out, Cleared App Cache & Logged back in -- still no joy!!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm???

I think I've found the bug for why that is happening. Releasing version 5.0.2 to the Google play store right now which should hopefully fix your issues.

Please let me know

Yes it does.

I just got a number 1 on my icon badge. I can't see anywhere in the app what it's referring to. Or how to get rid if it.

And, BTW, inside the app there is a 5 on my Notifications icon. When you click on it there is a whole list of Replies and Appreciates. But, what does the 5 mean?

And while typing this, the text is way behind showing up on the screen after it's typed.

Edit: and when I posted, the lines where all jumbled and I had to fix it from my PC.

Just a bit glitchy still.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed this works for you

Thanks. Seems to have done the trick.

Notifications is still being heavily worked on. The 5 means you have 5 “unread” notifications.

We haven’t yet built in how to determine what is read or is unread. But should be coming within the next few days-weeks

The new version looks really good, love the styling
But I also love dark mode and atm it's basically all white, also I don't know why but I can't upload a propic, the app just crashes every time I try to to it

[francton]

Looks beautiful and feels smooth. Push notifications never worked on the previous app, hope it works on this one

[anthemavm]

Where do you download it?

[francton]

Good that notifications now remain in the list.. previously world vanish after I read it, made it hard to revisit a post.

[F32Fleet]

Nice update. Works for me.

[francton]

Just received my first push notification. Yay

[RSnic]

apptest ,

Well, I went back deleted v5.0.2 and then downloaded & reinstalled v5.0.2, signed in and MyForums and subscriptions are working!!

Appreciate your efforts to get things working!!

Version 5.0.3

Dislikes:

1. I have to log out and log back in a few times for it to let me make one post - it keeps saying I can't make the post because I'm not logged in (even though I am) even with this very post.
2. I've uninstalled, installed, and reinstalled the app - no differences
3. I can't get my subscriptions loading as it keeps saying I'm not connected to the internet
4. I can't edit my posts
5. I can't see who appreciated my post
6. I can't appreciate a post easily. When I hit the appreciate button, it keeps going round and round without doing anything
7. When I try to reply to a post, while quoting the original post I'm replying to, it cites the original quote twice
8. It won't hold my particulars in my profile even when I enter everything fresh

Likes:

1. A lot more effective with the font attributes readily available up to
2. Easier on the eyes
3. Can use ordinary emojis now; what a relief
4. Can change the font size for reading posts (this is an awesome feature)
5. Love the fact that the M2 forum had a M2 CS on the cover

In 5.0.3 it does

WHen making a post and it tells you that you are logged out try making the post again and let me know if it goes through the second time?

[Bumpinjeep]

I too couldn't make a post. I had two attachments, just tried to post without any attachments and still got the 'you are not logged in' error. It does look nice though.

Ok

Some updates

I can now edit my post but it won't go through - when I hit the submit button, it goes on an infinite loop

Some other parts that for fixed with 5.0.3

1. Editing my post is possible, submitting the edit, not so much
2. I get to see subscriptions more
3. I can see my avatar but still no info in profile

New discoveries

1. Copying and/or Pasting text is nightmarishly difficult as the screen moved up and down
2. When editing, all formats go out the window

Best new discovery

You are on top of it like a hawk

I respect that

Thanks! Keep the comments coming, we are keeping a running list and just tackling everything as they come in so this is incredibly helpful.

Still working on your login persistence issues right now

Weird thing

My motivations are no longer displaying

I get notification saying I've got 4 new notifications but in the notification page, nothing is on display.

Ditto with messages. It tells me I've got a private message but doesn't display anything.

This was fixed with 5.0.3 but has reverted back to its old self.
