Mobile App for new Office 365 Network
Modern web UI is nice, but at the end of the day when it comes to mobile, apps are still king.
If the purpose of this is to replace the interaction we had on Yammer, a mobile app is a necessity. Ease of use is critical, and navigating via browser does not give the features and interactivity that the Yammer app does. App specific notifications for replies, quickly navigating to favorite topics/groups. Just because it can be used in a mobile browser doesnt mean it should.
I see lack of a mobile app as a real barrier to winning user adoption and getting the most participation possible based on the proven success of Yammer Office 365 Network.
- It would be great if you can provide Microsoft application for Android and iOS device's.
It should include Blogs, Forums, Community Ideas and Users. Thus we can restrict other contents and focus on these item's. It will be more useful.When you pin a website, it will act like an application and it shows the logo and when you click on it, it act like opening an application.
Developing an application would required more resources and new developer and testing team while make website adjust for a phone and pin it like an app would perform the same task without need to assign so much resources.
Reza_Ameri I meant an application for the above mentioned idea.
Not like visiting somewhere and doing the stuff!
You may install Microsoft Edge and then visit the Microsoft Tech Community website and pin it as an application which will work like an application.
I don't
Do not confuse availability with usability
"Community is any device, anytime, anywhere. "
Tech community website is available on any device, anytime, anywhere too.
try using services like Taptalk.
Nearly 4 years on and still no mobile app for the Tech Community...
Community is any device, anytime, anywhere.
Considering the how this forum works, I prefer it would be a responsive web design and in case anyone wanted to add it in their phone, they would just pin it.
I don't think there is a need to create an application for it.
Applications would required regular updates and there are other challenges and PWA would be better solution where we have access to the latest version and we could access the website without installing anything.
Sounds interesting. I was thinking about it some days ago and found that there was an idea opened about it years ago. It is a very big thing to implement but would be great if implemented.

Status changed:NewtoUnspecifiedHi all,
I am changing the idea of this status to 'On Hold' we presently have no firm commitment to build a mobile application, for the reasons I gave previously in this thread.
I want to be very clear here, we are not saying no to a mobile app but I feel the idea being in a 'Under Review' state idefinately is also disengenous to you all.
Please continue to vote on it and I can assure you that as soon as we have something to share on this I will post it back here.
- For the love of God, have one of the MS developers make a techcommunity app.
This site is a pita to use from a phone, especially since this particular group is for a phone app.To let the Microsoft Tech community designer and tech lead know about the issue of the website on mobile, you should mention it in here:

I was surprised to discover the official MS Launcher community also exists on Reddit. I don't want to create a Reddit account just to interact with Microsoft about their products, but if this forum offends you enough and you're already set up on Reddit it could be a good option until this forum is fixed. https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftlauncher/comments/eo687b/announcing_microsoft_launcher_preview/
