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.

One very important aspect of mobile apps compared to browser view is authentication. With mobile apps you can usually save your credentials for quick access to content.
In my case I'd have to fireup my password manager everytime to view stuff in my mobile browser.
+ 1 for the App
Mobile browser should only be a fallback. I consumed yammer mainly though the mobile app.
Thanks for your feedback, Brent Ellis. We're happy with the way this new community reacts on a mobile web experience but we also hear your concerns. We're looking at the need for an app but don't have any information to share right now.
