Stack Exchange is an amazing site and app with great programmers that range from super experienced to new programmers. Most of the community is nice and helpful. Even with some of my dumb simplistic questions I get an answer with relative quickness and if no one can find an answer, typically people stick around long enough to discuss a solution together.
With a few taps, it's a great window into your SE world. Coding in the app is unpleasant and leaves me waiting to get back to a desktop to answer every single time, but comments and research work well here. It also always starts in a general view displaying active and popular threads across the entire SE platform instead of allowing me to customize it to my interests.
I think this app needs redevelopment. I am not saying it is unusable but there are certain things that make the app not as user friendly as I thought it would be. one thing is that, especially in mathematics, answers are not correctly formatted which means that the questions and general answers can be easily read while direct answers are never formated. the design of the app is also quite outdated with makes the app seem very old. i think I will use the website version until things change...
The Website is great, but the app is not upto the mark. It crashes sometimes, and many different features of the website are not at all available on the App - like view count, see past edits, or direct rendering of mathjax in Question titles or comments and many more. Now I've uninstalled the app and access the site on my web browser.
The SE platform is very awesome, but the app has inconvenient limitations (especially compared to the iOS version), eg: can't see edit history, doesn't show most recent editor, upvoting and downvoting is buggy, questions load slowly. But the platform itself is very good.
Lots of basics things missing - 1. I can't choose default topic & make them the default view on startup. 2. No dark mode eveb in 2020. 3. I must get to choose more than 1 topic of interest & individually I must able to mute their notifications from a list. 4. Also I must able to generate a list based on tags & labels & pin them.
Ok so far. UX is vpoor though. 0. Please hire a UX person. And test. 1. Please give a "no results" page for a null search. A blank page?? Seriously?? 2. Please have a "your questions/answers" pages prominent easily navigable from menu. 3. make groups easily joinable. I give up figuring how to do this and just upvote randomly wherein a helpful join dialog magically appears.. 4. Make sure groups are populated and synced and at least have syncing gif if not synced. 5 Groups are groups not sites!!
The app is 2 years out of maintenance. Many features are missing. Can't visualize anything that can be referenced to in the profile page, can't issue bounties. Not a replacement for the site.
The app is basic; the implemented functionality works fine. Adding/editing questions, writing comments etc. work as expected. Some additional functionality would be nice. for example managing one's own profile from the app rather than having to go on the website. If possible please add.
Needless to say that Stack Exchange is one of a kind network. But the Android app is not upto the mark. It keeps crashing, and several options are missing that are otherwise available in the desktop website. (For Eg: I have aomost never been able to submit an answer from the app, Cannot 'watch' tags as well)
The app was very limited, but just about useable until recently when it stopped working completely ("unable to retrieve ..."). Since it hasn't been updated since 2017, it's probably safe to say that this marks the end of the road for the SE app
Couldn't even log in. The "log in with Google" button throws a giant error. So I couldn't even use the app. And it displays that error as stringified json, which is likely unintelligible to most folks. If a bug that big is released into production, I won't bother to explore the rest of the app.
Good app, quite intuitive to use. However, a few things, like profile and all are significantly tougher than the web interface. Please make that as powerful as on the website
The website is amazing. The app is awful. Just keeps on crashing Has been so for a while and no updates. So had to put the bad review. Can't even use it or login, crashes within seconds.
There are a fair few bugs known to the developers, but development on android has been in hiatus for a long time. The bugs are very frustrating but otherwise the app provides a way to view posts outside of the browser.
Not great. Went back to using the mobile version of stack overflow because it has way more features and an easier to use, more familiar looking layout. Thanks for trying though
The app's good; though the UI could do with some improvement, it's all that's strictly needed. Can you guys tweak it to display the number of views a question's had, next to it? Only the desktop browser does that.
StackExchange is a great websites. I often get answers from there. But since I installed the app in my Android phone, I often met bug s like enter the app and load failure. please fix these bugs and give users a good use experience.
Great! Although image uploading isn't working, I enjoyed the experience of using a native android app much better then a website, as typing and navigating through the website is not comfortable at all using mobile.
LaTeX doesn't display in comments, which is really terrible considering I mainly participate in LaTeX heavy Stack Exchanges. There are other minor bugs that hinder user experience. All all, the app is inferior to the mobile site.
I regard stack Exchange as one of the greatest achievements of the modern world. However, I' m dumbfounded as to why you don't accept questions typed in a simple text document. The formatting You require seems to belittle your great reputation. I have file of questions that I could not ask due fear of your formalities. Thanks a lot anyway. I'm still benefitting from GREAT work.
I like the concept... App leaves a lot to be desired. Took me way too long to figure out how to join different sites and ad as far as I can tell the only way is to upvote a question. Some of the buttons and functions are still a mystery because they took too long for me to wait around to see what they do.
Handy way of accessing Stack Exchange sites. I'd give it 5 stars if it supported options for setting text size (current font is a tad too small for comfort) and dark mode (light mode/dark mode/system default).
This is really a good app. I found a good community to solve my doubts in mathematics. I suggest to add a dark theme. Also the app icon remains same rather than a circular shape like other apps in app lists. Also in your browser site o faced problem to upload my profile picture.
I spent a while using Stack Exchange almost entirely through the app. To their credit, you can do this. There are a number of small things though that are annoying or impossible to get to on mobile - stuff that only power users would care about.
Gets stuck "Getting preview" when you try to preview a post, leaving you no choice but to force close, and then you lose what you've written. Fail 1 -- Preview shouldn't take forever Fail 2 -- Preview should have a short timeout Fail 3 -- No local saving of the user's work
The layout and design are pretty horrible. It's too dull and 2d. There's no options in settings to customize the look and feel of the app for independent users. When I tried signing up with stack exchange the app crashed and so instead I had to signup with Google Once I've chosen the sites I want to follow my feed is still filled with stuff from other sites which I don't want to know about. It would also be nice to have a multi feed where I can see everything from each site I followed.
