Congrats @devladinci ·@rrhoover @chadwhitaker on the new version + new addition to the app family! I've been testing the new app for a week or so (via the PH Mobile Ship page 👉 go subscribe https://www.producthunt.com/upco...). So much quicker + can do more! Yay!
The app is very well done for a 1.0 👍. Kudos on the launch. There are a few things that I think need some lovin:
1) On fresh launch, when I click on a product from the home page, it opens up the card view to that product. All good till now. Now, if I back out and click on another product from the home page, it opens up a random card 😿.
2) The card based navigation is super frustrating. You should try and ignore the swipe distance and just move the cards one at a time.
3) One of the most important features of a product listing are the comments. It's really sad that only the top two comments are featured in the card view. And to make it worse, when you click on `show more`, it opens up the full product view and scrolls all the way to the bottom. This makes me loose my position in the comments section.
4) As others have suggested, a Dark Mode would be super helpful.
5) I also think, the number of comments could be placed for each product on the home page. That would help encourage people to participate in the discussion.
Overall, a great start. I'm a little sad that it took this long for an Android app but I get it 😜
@itsnblackburn Latest build? Can you check for update? Super strange. I'm reworking login will use native one :)
Is there no way to add products to our saved lists via the mobile app? Can't seem to find it.
@hrbrt not yet but this is one of the things we want to add asap as many use the mobile app to "bookmark" things they want to check out later, sometimes on their desktop.
@rrhoover Thanks. I tried submitting this via the TestFlight email but it told me the address you folks supply in the app doesn't exist.
Nice to see some Android love! Ide much rather scroll the screenshots than scroll to the next app. In fact, I would never flip through every app like that, ide use the list and poke around.
Speaking of poking around, I consistently get the wrong app details when tapping an app from the list. I think I get whichever app was in it's place in the list before I scrolled.
I was bummed when "add to list" was removed from the mobile web app +1 for adding it to the native app.

@gerbz Will add `Add to collection` or `Bookmark` in the next release :) About the wrong index, working on that
@devladinci sweet! Also when posting the comment you replied to, I had no confirmation that the comment was posted, and then couldn't find it for the life of me in the app. I honestly assumed it didn't work and I didn't feel like writing it again. Glad it did tho! ;)
Great job to the team 🔥 I’m really interested in the choice to adopt React Native for feature parity and responsiveness across both platforms.
@eightbitjoker As an iOS dev I was against RN initially by the way :) They I've played around a little bit and started to love it (Web is on React so no big surprise) :) To be honest, I like it, view styling and development speed are impressive. Maybe lack of packages (good ones and frequently updated) is a problem, but hey this is the relatively new community it will catch up eventually.
@devladinci I'd have to agree, I've also worked on porting our native iOS and Android apps to React Native. The long term benefit of consolidating development time outweighs any growing pains regarding packages in my opinion (plus writing packages is pretty straightforward coming from native frameworks).
I have been testing this app for some time now. Its 🔥. Only thing missing is night mode.
@chiancheng by lists do you mean collections? Unfortunately it didn't make it into this release but it's coming soon!
@rrhoover but you didn’t remove them, did you!!? The ability to save our favorite products in different collections is one of Product Hunt’s features. Please don’t undervalue it!
@iherreros agreed! I can’t live without my collections. So many products saved, actually my most regular use of PH.
@dakotayounger Not available in this version, will add `Bookmark` or `Save to collection` it in next one :)
@devladinci Wasn't able to see the earlier posts regarding this so apologies for the redundancy. Thanks for the response and update though! Nice work on the new app!
