From great to worst? – Flowdock Review

I wish I could say the last 6 months have brought huge improvements to the fd iOS app. Unfortunately, it’s quite the opposite. All the issues from the old, unmaintained app seem to have remained, but now we have: - Huge power drain, probably the number one issue. - Read state that doesn’t sync between desktop and mobile. - Constant issues where opening a thread presents a different state than one sees in the main chat. - Reading a thread when a new message comes in always scrolling you to the bottom of the thread. New versions of the app are terrifying instead of exciting. What will be broken next? Frankly, it’s like the flowdock developers don’t use the iOS app. Or they do, and their product managers don’t let them fix it in the name of new development. Either way, despite the incredible competitive advantage of threading as implemented in fd, I’m on the cusp of recommending our team abandon the whole product for how absolutely horrendous the mobile experience has become. Someone give this poor app a few bug fix only sprints, please. Who cares if we have better search when the app is such a disaster for simple chatting?
