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.

Aug 19th improved many things, I'd still prefer an app.
Experience is much worse than the Yammer app experience I am used to. Strugglingto navigate and also read content when I do find it. Filtering read content too is poor.
A few more days into it and trying to adopt, I unfortunately feel the same way. If I needed to search for something very particular, I feel that I can now effectively do that from the mobile web interface. Whilst it "loads" on a mobile interface, it is near unusable from a collaboration, interaction, and participating perspective IMO.
Plus I get signed out all the freakin time, so I can't just pop on and post and be on my way.
- Status changed:NewtoUnspecified
Practically impossible to use with mobile web - Edge on Win Mobile 10. Desktop web is not much better, but at least something. Definitely, the app is a must.
Also, feeling a bit frustrated as I have been trying to use the new network on my phone. I typed out a long response to a post, accidentally swiped down too far to scroll up and it force refreshed my browser and lost my whole response...
"We're happy with the way this new community reacts on a mobile web experience"
I really don't share this opinion and I'm not one of those users. The experience is far from good.
- Need to authenticate. I use several MSA and Office365 accounts with strong passwords and MFA. If you need to authenticate over and over again, that's a real downgrade to the experience.
- Notifications. Other notifactions options than email would be very welcome.
- But the most import of all, a good experience in viewing content. Now my thumb is sore when you go through a thread on a mobile device.
The notifications experience is clearly another area that needs to improve a lot...to me, the way to discover new stuff in the network is quite poor
How do I sign out or view my notifications on the mobile browser (iPhone 6 here)?
