So much looking forward to Dark Mode. I miss this feature the most. Glad to hear that it's coming back one day.

Yup. I think it'll be here sooner than later, we are making really great progress on it. Maybe have it ready by the weekend…

Tho we never had it in the old app…

Where can we get it? I only see the old one on the Playstore?

titomi · 01-24-2022, 02:31 PM

Good work! I can see the navigation buttons again

It's also nice to see the smilies fully.

Keep it up!

Maybe you have a really old version of android? It will only work with newish versions, I think 8 and up, I have to recheck

MadBimmeRad · 01-24-2022, 04:12 PM

It might take another 30 mins before it shows up in your local play store 👏

Just downloaded v15 and I'm in. Have to say it looks good!
Well done and thanks for the effort 👌

When in "New Posts" list, pulling down doesn't refresh/update the page. How do you do it now if you want to refresh when viewing the New Post page?

jshortwa · 01-24-2022, 10:08 PM

Search results always results in a "No results" response. Clean installed newest Android version.

Have you turned on refresh threads automatically?

That might do it for you

Would like to see the option to show all images in the thread again.
I found it extremely useful when trying to find old posts that had images attached to explain the topic

I am running Android 11 - so I am up to date - I just don't know where everyone is downloading it at?? Are you getting it at the playstore??? When I search bimmerpost - I get the old one and it says I already have it.

Nevermind - I reopened mine today and it seems to have updated. Thanks

Am I missing how to save forums to "My Forums?" My old ones did not come thru and I don't see where to add them back?

It's probably the bug with Samsung devices.

Do you want to try to upgrade to android 12?

I'm doing that right now............upgrade just came thru.

So just to make sure it's not that I am stupid - how do you add them to your list? Just to make sure I am not missing the proper way to do it.

Thanks, but have already tried that - no go. In order to refresh, I have to get out of forums, then get back into forums, then tap on "New Posts" in order for the app to refresh. All of the other post listing, you can just pull down to do a manual refresh/update, but you can't do it on the New Posts listing for some reason.

snowbimmer · 01-25-2022, 09:19 AM

Alas, 5.0.15 did not increase my functionality. Still no MyForums, Subscriptions or Notifications.

There is a heart icon on the top right of the screen, that's how you add or remove them. But your old MyForums are still there, its unfortunately a bug for many users (Samsung users) where they aren't showing up. We are hoping to better solve this in the coming days, but its been proving a tough nut to crackâ€¦

Did going to Android 12 help any?

Yup, you are correct. THis hasnâ€™t been programmed in yet, but will be there for an upcoming version. Thanks for the report!

Dark mode is now 50% done

apptest · 01-25-2022, 09:58 AM

I have a question for all the dark mode users out there, do you just keep dark mode on 24/7 on your device or are you constantly switching it on-off?

Thanks!
