Answer 28

@Preetha

"Summary: The app has a lot of things that could be improved, but it is awesome to be able to use OpenStudy anywhere :)" as quoted by our lovely @sleepyjess

\(\large\sf The~Specifics:\)
\(\sf The~Goods:\)
\(\sf\color{green}{\triangle}\) "like the design"
\(\sf\color{green}{\triangle}\) "easy and simple to use"
\(\sf\color{green}{\triangle}\) "pop-out tab/sidebar is cool"
\(\sf\color{green}{\triangle}\) "love the search option"
\(\sf\color{green}{\triangle}\) "the ability to ask a question without any lag"
\(\sf\color{green}{\triangle}\) "able to use OpenStudy even when away from computer"

Our users are amazing in giving so many wonderful suggestions to make the App better! I have out lined the suggestions here below and have even color coded them a little (red=urgent, blue=multiple requests, green=fix at your leisure) ^_^

\(\sf The~Suggestions:\)
\(\sf\color{red}{\triangle}\) Most Requested Feature: Messaging
Many (many) users have requested the addition of a messaging system to the App. The main reason being the social aspect. Ever since the addition of notifications it has become concerning to some that they would receive a notification of an unread message but have no way to read or reply to it until they get on their computer.
\(\sf\color{red}{\triangle}\) Loophole: One Question per Subject Limit
This limit has yet to be applied to the app. Spammers/Trolls can easily "question spam" question posts with this loophole (it has already happened before).
\(\sf\color{red}{\triangle}\) Loophole: Curse Filter
Curse words are not filtered when viewing the App. Like John Hanc0ck doesn't appear as John Hanwingspan.
\(\sf\color{blue}{\triangle}\) Add: Delete Button
The ability to Delete one's own comments has been requested.
\(\sf\color{blue}{\triangle}\) Add: Bump Button
The ability to Bump one's own question would be a great addition to the App.
\(\sf\color{green}{\triangle}\) Add: Draw Tool
The ability to view drawings (at the very least) and perhaps even "finger draw" drawing from the App.
\(\sf\color{blue}{\triangle}\) Glitch: Selective Loading
For long posts, it does not load all the comments at once.
\(\sf\color{blue}{\triangle}\) Glitch: Doubling of Comments
When one pulls the loading wheel too many times, comments sometimes double up.
\(\sf\color{blue}{\triangle}\) Notifications: Addition of Notifications Sources
Users would like to be able to choose to receive notifications from fans, tags, medals, replies, etc (the usual notifications received on the Desktop OpenStudy) on the OpenStudy App.
\(\sf\color{green}{\triangle}\) Notifications: The Red Number Bubble
Consider adding the little red bubble to the App that reminds the user that they have unread Notifications.
\(\sf\color{green}{\triangle}\) Notifications: Taking Notification to the Source
When clicking on the Notification, take the user either to a specifically made "Notification Tab" or to the post where the Notification came from.
\(\sf\color{green}{\triangle}\) Convenience: Ability to Click Links
There are times when users reply with links, but one cannot click on the link from in the App.
\(\sf\color{green}{\triangle}\) Convenience: Asked/Answered Questions Tab
Take the user directly to the question after asking it; or even just make a section for "Asked Questions" (and "Answered Questions") for easier access and to view their own previously asked/answered questions.
\(\sf\color{green}{\triangle}\) Convenience: Interactive Tapping
Make it look indented when you tap on something so user would not feel the need to keep tapping thinking it had not registered.
\(\sf\color{green}{\triangle}\) Convenience: Re-Load Wheel at the bottom of questions
Make the reload wheel at the bottom of questions, so users don't have to scroll back up to reload the question (if the question is not going to be in real-time).
\(\sf\color{green}{\triangle}\) Convenience: Make question kind-of view-able while replying
To be able to reference the question/comments while replying so there is less of a chance for a misquote or forgetting what a certain piece of information was.
\(\sf\color{green}{\triangle}\) Add: Ability to Add/Manage Fans
You can currently view user's profiles, so why not add a fan button as well?
\(\sf\color{red}{\triangle}\) ADD: The FULL Terms and Conditions are not view able on the App.

Answer 29

:OOOOO she used my summary!!!!

Answer 30

not going to read all that but did you add that they should fix the question areas to two, one for open and one for closed, the combo is annoying.

Answer 31

I personally like the why they shaded it :P

Answer 32

*way

Answer 33

No, it's all clustered up and then you cant even see who else is on the question.

Answer 34

@Preetha Reporting the Results!!!

Answer 35

@Joel_the_boss that's partially because it's not in real time.

Answer 36

That's another issue. They need to make it real time.

Answer 37

let's start with fixing the app from the asker's pov first ^_^
then they can consider from the helper's pov

Answer 38

That's a reason i gave up on the app, trolls would give a DA to a question i was explaining and i wouldn't know till after i was done.

Answer 39

And if i wanted to i could perform an infinite medal glitch. Jaibroken devices are awesome q

Answer 40

@sleepyhead314 , pictures in the question box, not the comment box

Answer 41

well isn't that because not even the website supports the pictures in the question box?

Answer 42

I dunno

Answer 43

but the app supports pictures in the question box

Answer 44

people can't attach pictures onto the question posts to begin with
so of course people using the website can't see it?

Answer 45

Joel, what do you mean, "not in real time"?

Answer 46

Sleepy - Awesome work summarizing everything. Thank you for taking the initiative.

Answer 47

He's referring to how you have to pull down the Load Wheel in order to see new questions/comments

Answer 48

Also, if anyone is confused about the picture thing, http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/54ed079ee4b055f23ccc34a0

Answer 49

Oh, right. Is that a big deal? Just asking.

Answer 50

It would allow for an asker to actually see any replies immediately rather than having to wait for the refresh wheel :)

Answer 51

Oh, that makes sense.

Answer 52

Sleepy, is all this in the link? I need to save this and then talk to the developers.

Answer 53

"Sleepy - Awesome work summarizing everything. Thank you for taking the initiative."
Which one?

Answer 54

lol

Answer 55

I am pretty sure she is talking about @sleepyhead314

Answer 56

and if they don't know about the refresh wheel, then they might think that they are being ignored.

and yes, it's all in the response link :) just not as organized

Answer 57

Some people like the no chats. (-:

Answer 58

oops! I'm seeing the doubling of comments again

Answer 59

I actually do like not having chats, as it allows me to focus on helping others/getting help more. Plus I feel as though chats would take up too much room so that we could not see questions :/

Answer 60

Sorry sleepy jess, I was talking about sleepyhead.

Answer 61

I figured haha :)

Answer 62

lol OS didnt come out on my device yet D:

Answer 63

NP. Ok, so some people like chats and some don't need it. I am thinking we need to add chats. You always have the option to not chat. Right s.Jess?

Answer 64

True :)

Answer 65

Chat isn't necessary but the Direct Messages would be night :)

Answer 66

*nice

Answer 67

So the Android thing is complex. But now we are going to have a new version of OpenStudy web app, then we'll fix the iPhone app. Should we do a survey of the iPad app @sleepyhead314 ?

Answer 68

Yes yes yes DM's

Answer 69

Wait, I get direct messages. Don't you?

Answer 70

I get the notifications for direct messages, but I can't see the actual message

Answer 71

I mean DM notifications.

Answer 72

We get notifications about the DMs but we can't see or reply to them

Answer 73

OK, someone send me a dm. Lets check this

Answer 74

What????????

Answer 75

sent you a message

Answer 76

Ok, got it. Where should it go when you click on the dm on your phone?

Answer 77

Perhaps add a special DM tab in the sidebar? :)

Answer 78

Would be nice if it covered the other major phone type. Not everyone has IOS.

Answer 79

Should it go to the DM or just the app?

Answer 80

Just the app, we are saying that we should be able to see the DM.

Answer 81

Preferably to the DM :D

Answer 82

Kohal, I agree, I agree. It is a resource constraint. Any volunteers to build us an Android app?

Answer 83

Hmmmm. We need to show the DMs in the Apps. I don't see a setting.

Answer 84

I think people would be inclined if it was a paid position. Not many people have the time or ambition to create an app with nothing to get from it.

Answer 85

Though, it doesn't apply to me anyways. I'm a linguist, not a programmer.

Answer 86

Ouch. Thanks Kohal. Just kidding.

Answer 87

@kohai is right, however. android development memberships cost about $100. if you pay for that and the they need to get going + a little extra i'm sure someone would grab the job

Answer 88

I would but ummm I don't know how to make an app...

Answer 89

"Ouch. Thanks Kohal. Just kidding."


..."Kohal"

Answer 90

She clearly doesn't care enough to spell a 5 letter name right @GreenCat, I wasn't going to bother to mention it :p

Answer 91

WHOOOOAAAA kohai calm down there

Answer 92

I'm calm. And sleepy :p

Answer 93

no I'm sleepy! :D

Answer 94

noooo I AM SLEEPY

Answer 95

Lol. I'm tired
