I haven't seen anyone mention the kbin native(?) app!? I tried it and it seems perfect and amazing? (kbin.social)

I tried Jerboa briefly and couldn't get it to work well for me. Then I visited kbin on my phone's browser and was prompted to install the kbin app!? I haven't seen any references to it, but it's exactly what I wanted...? Has anybody else tried it?

You mean the chrome based web app thing right? I think it's literally just a separate window that runs the mobile site on chrome. It's pretty functional though, I agree.

Really missing notifications though.

Yep, that thing. Yes, I think you're right, but it feels a lot like RIF, etc... I like it better than Jerboa.

Do you mean notifications in the app or in general? I only learned yesterday that notifications are off by default. Just go to top-right your username --> Settings --> Notifications and toggle them on. By default, you only get notifications like this @Andjhostet

There's a bug impacting mobile notifications. It's been submitted but I (and many others) experience it as well. Despite notifications being activated.
