BariatricPal Mobile App Beta for iOS!

[Ken S. 161]

Hey BariatricPal members, we’re finally ready to release the first beta version of our very own BariatricPal Mobile app for iOS! This new release is a complete rewrite of the mobile app from the ground up. In addition to the forums, we’ve also added native magazine support and user galleries to the new app. The ability to “Like” posts and other content has also been overhauled to support reactions in addition to simply liking content.

While we have dedicated a tremendous amount of time into development and testing of the new BariatricPal app, we do expect there to be bugs and issues in this early release. We are hopeful that you are interested in helping us make the BariatricPal mobile app the absolute best in can possibly be. We welcome all of you to join and test the BariatricPal app and absolutely all feedback will be greatly appreciated.

You’re welcome to post feedback, comments and suggestions directly to this topic, or e-mail us at app@BariatricPal.com. If you’re ready to join in, simply fill out the form below with your Apple ID e-mail address and your BariatricPal username and we’ll send you an invite with all of the information you need as soon as possible.

Thank you and happy testing!!

Here’s one:

I quoted a comment on the app. It shows the quote to be originated by myself, not the poster, and some crazy date and time as well.

@Newme17

Excellent - thank you so very much for finding and reporting this bug! This is what will help us get the app experience to be as good as possible!

P.S. How has the app been working for you in general?

Thanks again!

In general it’s fine so far. I’ll play around with it some more to figure if there’s anything else that can be streamlined or fixed.

I’ve got one...is it possible to add/see what topic or sub topic a thread is coming from? Currently it’s just listed as the thread topic. Wouldn’t know if it’s meant to be in the powder Room, the Men’s Room, Rant/Rave, Nutrition, Exercise, Pre or Post Ops, or even what WLS topic.

The above suggestion is for under the FEED. No editing ability?

I get to rest my case...this morning I tried to comment and kept getting NO PERMISSIONS. At first, I thought maybe it's a glitch and then I logged on to the website by computer and saw that the thread I was trying to comment on is in the Veteran's Forum. So, no wonder why I couldn't post. Thus, there is no way to tell what forum a thread is in on the app, under TRENDING and TIMELINE. Only way is to access the forums by subject is under FORUM. But if the TRENDING and TIMELINE and even FOLLOWING is like the dashboard of the app, it'll make sense to be able to see what the forum topics are for each of the threads. Make sense?

Is anyone else having trouble with their notifications on the phone app? Mine gives me an error message every time since the most recent update.

Two bugs to report... I can no longer quote individuals in the iOS app. Also, when trying to change my profile picture, it keeps saying validating session and never updates.

I keep reading that there is a link to report offensive posts but I sure don’t see it on my iPhone. Can someone give more specific location information?
