Are there any plans to have an app for PM? Be nice instead of having to go to the website to do things.

@Tav Nice find! Looks like there's a "still in development" Android app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lithium.lithosphere. Haven't tried it. All I see for iPhone is their social media app, not a community app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/developer/lithium-technologies-inc/id423846517
EDIT: looks like the Android app I linked above is only for accessing Lithium's own community, called Lithosphere: https://lithosphere.lithium.com/. I can't see a way to make it connect to this community. Of course, you can always appify the community using Hermit lite, as I linked to earlier in this thread. It works pretty well with the community after the responsive redesign about a year or so ago.

Answers like that means Public Mobile does not get it! Most of Public Mobile's user base have a cell phone with a web browser, some do not even use a computer. Yet the web page is optimized for a computer! The web page should be optimized for a mobile device, the computer users won't mind. It is not like the current web page is art! (Not a complaint, I like it when using a web browser)
It is the same issue with the $10 off on $30+ plan for new users. Public Mobile can do what they want, but if a good chunk that see the ad are current Public Mobile customers, it is probably a good idea to mention in the ad copy they do not qualify for the offer, and not have it buried in the fine print.

App is really not necessary unless there are some exclude features that an app can do which I can't think of any.
Rather, make the UI more appealing, and more stable is what I would prefer.

These account apps that I've seen have all just been exactly the same as the mobile version of the website. All you'd have to do would be to load the site, leave yourself logged in, and bookmark it. It'd be the same thing.

I have used the apps with other providers and always ended up going back to the online account page. Apps were bulky, laggy and overall useless.

I think it would be a better idea to make the website more mobile friendly. The font sizes are absolutely horrid looking on a mobile device. And too small

@Patmac if you use an Android phone and want to app-ify the self-serve and/or community sites, please see this tutorial: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Phones-Hardware/Very-Partial-workaround-for-lack-of-P... it's free and only takes a few mins to set up.

Its unlikley they will have app anytime soon.
Use the website, it has everything.

@Patmac PM doesn't have any app. Interaction with comminty is way better over the computer instead of app.
