    Hi First Up,

    We recommend using touch.boards.ie for mobile browsing as the app is no longer supported.

    Care to tell us why?

    One of the big reasons is that it's easier and faster to roll out changes, upgrades, bug fixes, etc. without having to go through an approval process, while also being easier to sync development on the web platforms.

    I'm glad it suits you but it makes it much less convenient and accessible for me.

    I understand it can be frustrating to have to change away from something that you're used to, but this ensures that you will receive the latest updates and fixes.

    You could also try clearing the app's data from your phone's Settings. Find the Apps / Manage Apps setting, click into the Boards app and select clear data or clear cache. Clearing data is the more nuclear option as it resets everything back to it being like the first time you used it. Here's a guide that explains the process: https://www.androidcentral.com/how-and-when-clear-app-cache-or-data-android

    Its not about not being used to it. Its about it not being as usable.

    I have plenty of ways of accessing Boards but none of them are as good as the one you dropped.

    Work is ongoing on a new version of the mobile site, so hopefully that will be more useful for mobile users.

    If nothing else, it's worth trying the cache clear above.
