Fantastic. Will do!

Also maybe consider not having a reply post automatically repost the entire chain of prior messages. Just quoting the last message would suffice. I have to manually delete everything above my comment to get it to look short and neat like this.

Agree, we are grappling with the balance of how much to auto cut and how much to leave. It will likely be auto cut with an option to restore the full trail

Nice. My biggest request for the app there.

Thanks!

UI looks great!

Yup, everything we've done on the android side is almost ready on the iOS side as well. We want to get it a little more polished before release. Then both apps will be running in complete parallel.

Any chance we get a beta release for iOS? Ready to sideload it

Thank you! Appreciate your work.

5.0.1 is now released

euro* · 01-20-2022, 10:40 PM

Can somebody please make a "dark mode" or "dark version" for iOS app? Bimmerpost is the only app that I use daily, and doesn't have that feature. Keeps burning my eyeballs out

_ink · 01-21-2022, 02:07 AM

Nice!!! Great to see Android getting some love!

+1 for it not being possible as the 2nd poster to quote the actual entire first post.

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

Enjoying the update so far. I did the fresh install as recommended so I had to login again. A small bit of feedback is that the login page isn't seen as a username and password entry so Androids secure login feature or auto fill option doesn't prompt even though I have bimmer post credentials saved there.

Just a small quality of life improvement for forum users that wanted to quickly login to your new app on a fresh install.

Can't we post threads through IOS ?

UK Android user on 5.0.1

My Forums and Subscriptions are blank - should they have carried over?

Similarly no history in messages.

Mines are all there. Same version of the app.

Solved in 5.0 1 ðŸ‘ðŸ»

titomi · 01-21-2022, 05:15 AM

Name of the thread is not showing when in the first post on the page - pic attached.

willougs · 01-21-2022, 05:23 AM

Running 5.0.1. Open threads still flagged as unread for me.
Also, why is everything so big, and white!?
The bottom menu, Page count ( Page 2/2 ) / "Post a reply" icon bit and the "auto refresh thread" options take up 1/4 of the screen alone!

Plus, seem to have lost ability to edit a post?

Also if I try and add a forum to my forums with the heart button it says it's added but it isn't there when you go back to the my forums page.

Have you signed back in? When I first upgraded, it seemed to have logged me out and wasnt particularly obvious.

Yes I have signed back as per the screenshot. When I try and reply I can write a reply but when I hit send it tells me I'm not logged in (writing this on my PC). Very Strange.

@Apptest Droid
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???

willougs · 01-21-2022, 07:26 AM

Please reduce the font sizes of the page titles, options, icons in the banners etc. Or, even better, make them customisable, like the thread list.
Screenshot above just highlights how massive everything looks.

Also having to regularly log back in now, which is a new thing.

This was all mostly built on a pixel so we had a lot of screen real estate to play with. Maybe you have less? We can use an emulator for your device to see what you are seeing though.

Hi. Thanks for the response. Im using a Samsung Galaxy S10e.

bobt1972 · 01-21-2022, 08:54 AM

+1 to the dark mode request. It's just a must-have option. This app is also one of the brightest apps in the history of the world, it's like looking at sun ðŸ˜Ž

Otherwise, awesome changes. Love the new look and feel!
