Overclockers UK App?

Saul Farrell · 22 Aug 2020 at 22:10

So having a look on the play store there appears to be an overclockers app but it looks nothing like this forum so I don't think it is the real one. Can anyone confirm if overclockers actually has an app?

It does not, the one you found on the play store is for .com, a totally different place. Hope that clears it up!

The mobile theme generally does a pretty good job, and you can set email alerts if you're after phone notifications.

Okay thanks for the help! Just wondering because I prefer apps to websites.

At a guess it's related to overclockers.com

Edit - too slow

Well I can't see whats right in front of me! Thanks for the help though!

My bugbear for the ocuk forums on mobile is that it doesn't have the "go to first unread" option. As my forum settings are to load 100 replies per page, it can be pretty tedious scrolling through upto 100 replies to where the thread picks up from.

wow 100 replies! I've never had that many, at most 15 replies at once...

Press the envelope icon next to the thread and it takes you there. Took me longer than I'd like to admit to find this too

WHAT! Amazing, thanks!

i feel sorry for you poor people that didn't know about this.

it's the same icon i click on pc. where do you normally click to jump to latest new post?

I don't lol, I go to unread and slowly go through all the alerts one by one until I have no unread!

Haha I just realised that I've replied to this post so many times! I'll make sure not to do that again

How many people would use an app, what features would you want, all I can think of is push notifications if somebody replied to your post or quoted you?

There's not much you can implement in an app for forums.

I'd just prefer a more modern look e.g something similar to reddit, I just find it looks better as an app than as just a website. Compare the reddit website and app and you'll see what I mean!

People really didn't know about the envelope?

How do you not know about the envelope?!

Good lord, how many people click the thread title then click the "go to first unread" button (which I didn't even know existed until now) like some scrub?

Haha I didn't know about it! It makes things much easier!
