Just downloaded the app. I am surprised to see only 100 downloads till date. Congratulations to the staff for this facility. I wonder if will receive notifications for jobs alongside the routine emails. I would love to see an integrated messenger service for the members.

I also think that the app is showing that the forum format is just not suitable for a mobile device. It works fine on a PC but needs a complete overhaul to be usable on a mobile.

I really like the job listings - it's a very nifty format and layout, as is the terminology help, terminology search and quotes (similar format and layout to the job listings). All very mobile friendly. Something similar desperately needs to happen with the forums.

No notifications Jun 18, 2016

My email client informed me that I received a reply to my post. An Android app may not make sense without notifications in real time. I agree with Huw regarding forums.

I'd be surprised if that wasn't on the cards Jun 18, 2016

Notifications are a natural evolution for the app. It's bound to happen at some point, one feels.

This app was long overdue.
