[Hewson]

What the cluck?

 

[IWasBored]

Every time I accidentally update this app, it looks worse than it did before.

Yep.
I only visit this site on the phone when necessary, use the desktop at work and at home 95% of the time.

pro tips: forums aren't relevant, what's cool is the comment section of some AV Club articles

yes.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I use both the mobile app and the full browser site.

This is definitely one of the best renditions of a forum app out there. But yeah it features some strange bugs.

 

[lazarus]

I don’t use the app, I just use Safari on my phone to access the reg site. Never have problems.

 

[U2inUtah]

I use both but I have purposely not updated the app in a couple years because you guys said it kept getting worse with each update.

 

[DaveC]

the last major update made the app considerably better. when i have the option i use desktop but it's nice to have the app too so i can poop while i read what all you people have written.

They used to be a place for discussions until they changed the forums to whatever platform the Gawker forums used, and now it totally sucks.

The AV Club is horseshit now. It's finished.

My phone is a little small for that. I’m not still rocking a 5s or anything.

Oh god I haaaaaaate that.

I used to read a lot of comments under TVclub reviews, no longer.

 

[Kieran McConville]

That comments/layout change was kind of the last straw, but even a couple of years ago they were quite good for tv reviews, and more so, for long, lively and informed comments threads on said tv show reviews.

Now... not so much.

I love to read Headache's posts while taking a big old shit.

This Kid Cudi/Kanye thing ain’t that bad

Which you are compelled to do after you finish off your daily six pack of Foster's.

That's called an after grog bog

 

[Axver]

Gotta chuck a log in the bog after grog.

The forum app is at the best it's ever been, for me. Don't know if there's a big difference between the Android/Apple version, but I used to never use it and now I actually kinda prefer it to visiting the desktop site.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I almost exclusively use the app (on my iPhone 6) and it works really well for me. I’ve started to prefer it to the desktop version as well.

 

[Mack_Again]

well I mean, desktop or not, I'd just shitpost anyway it makes absolutely no difference

 

[prbiker15]

The latest version of the iOS app is great, and the one that I use the most. I only use the desktop version when covering U2 shows.

Anyone heard the new Lykke Li album? Good stuff, as always.

 

[u2popmofo]

I have not Licky Lee-ed yet, hope to later.

The latest version of the iOS app is great, and the one that I use the most. I only use the desktop version when covering U2 shows.

The old app used to constantly send me recommended threads as notifications no matter how many times I"d asked it not to. The new one doesn't send me any notifications at all, even the ones I want.

I listened to the new Licky Lee and Pitchfork's highly rated Snail Mail album this afternoon. Enjoyed both on first listen, but don't remember much of either. Need to hear them more to form proper opinions.

 

[Mack_Again]

Snail Mail song(s) just sounds like any other white female singer songwriters' songs. I just can't give a shit about it

also Lykke Li album, I listened to it because my friend seemingly liked it and I was surprised by how much it sounded like modern R&B

 

[LemonMelon]

Snail Mail writes good songs, sometimes REALLY good songs, but the vocals let the album down. Totally unremarkable.
