Android Central App: Open beta testing

[Lanhoj]

Here's my list of Bugs:

-Crashes when Long-pressing a Thread in your "Favorite Threads" section instead of opening the Share pop-up
-Back arrow should by dynamically removed from the upper left corner when accessing the tabs since it can't navigate further to the left
-"Tip us" button returns the User to the previous section behind the "Open with" Pop-up
-Double-tapping to zoom in on the "What is passport" Pop-up in the "Account" section dismisses it but then it cannot be opened until User goes to another section then returns to "Account"
-Double-tapping to zoom in anywhere within the "Account" section inserts long blank section at the bottom of the page which isn't there before zooming in
-"Share" button within "Forums" section behaves differently than in "Home" & "Podcasts" sections
-Swiping from left-to-right to access the tabs works differently from "Shop" & "Account" sections compared to the rest - those 2 can't be swiped from the center of the page -VS- the others can
-Version # gets highlighted when tapped but doesn't have an effect (it shouldn't be highlightable IMO)
-Tapping "Recent Apps" button while finger is held on a Tab name doesn't clear that button input & action continues when App is resumed (occurs in many areas)
-Button labels when Long-pressing them in the Shop & Home aren't centered the way they are in native Google Apps (example: GMail, Google+, Google Voice)
-Cannot expand the text selection when Long-pressing text within the "Account" section - only one word at a time


Let me know if more details are needed for any of the Bugs I've listed.

New list:

1) Can't download wallpapers. Can only "set as" for immediate use. (PS do you have to be 18 or older to use this app/website, because you should be for some of the wallpapers. So clearly a guys site. )

2) Like how easy it is to back out of a reply, but miss the save option.

Maybe tapping on it 10 times in fast succession will show a dancing Lloyd.

So I jumped shipped and deleted the old app. Strictly beta, now. Question, is there any way to access pms currently?

Is there any way to save a wallpaper image to the phone? I have an HTC OneS and it crops out the center of the wallpaper and I have no control over it.
Thanks

I'm still using the old app just for forum push notifications. Once this app gets updated the tapatalk app will be deleted.

That is a pretty smart thing to do. I don't mind so much push notification, but I was hoping to be able to access my inbox. Ill probably reinstall the other all until this one is ironed out.

I'm still using the old one too until I can tell which threads I've read and which I haven't. I spend enough time here as it is without navigating through threads I don't need to ('specially since the start at page 1). Then I run out of time for the new stuff! But, by having the new one installed, I'll know when updates are released.

Exactly. Also, a dark theme would be great... Not sure if it's possible given that most of AC is in the app, but I find it so much easier for forum surfing.

Yeah. I really prefer to read the blog/news on the new app. It's so much faster than viewing the full site in Chrome, and it's so much nicer looking and fully featured than the mobile site.

Not at the moment. We definitely have plans to put this in a future release though!

Not at the moment. Shouldn't be too hard to add though. Let me look in to it

Edit: I was corrected. This is a known issue. Phil mentions it in the 2nd post in this thread.

I just came across what I think is a pretty significant missing feature / bug. (I'm actually surprised it hasn't been brought up already.)

The "Get it on Google Play" badges (that are at the top of every news article about an app) don't appear in the AC app. So there is no direct link to the Play Store listing for an app. Articles are still being written referencing the link to the Play Store, but there's no link. This seems like a pretty big disconnect to me.

In need of tablet support still. And the ability to post pictures from the inside the Android Central forums using Android Central app.

When I first open the app and back out of it, I get an error and am asked to force close the app. Not sure what may be causing it though.

Great app. Looks really good on the HTC One. The only suggestion I see is in the forums if there could be a time stamp next to each topic to see when it was last updated.
