CC Mobile App for iPhone & Android: FAQ and Q&A

Hi folks,

Well, it seems that it is time to create a single thread for all platforms where all of your CC mobile app questions or concerns can be addressed. With that, I am going to start with a small FAQ based off of some of the questions I have received in the past. Please feel free to make FAQ suggestions and post any questions or issues you may have. Thank you! :slight_smile:

CC Mobile App FAQ - all platforms

1) How do I LOGIN?
Android - There are a couple answers to this. Generally in the Android application if you try to do anything in the application that requires a login it will prompt you to do so. Otherwise, once you launch the application use your MENU button to gain access to the LOGIN button directly.

iPhone - If you are launching the iPhone application for the first time you should see a LOGIN button at the very left hand bottom part of the screen. Just click this button and you are on your way.

2) How do I perform a SEARCH?
Android - Once logged in click on the More tab then click on the SEARCH item in the list.

iPhone - Once logged in click on the SEARCH tab located in the bottom tab bar.

3) Is there a way to SUBSCRIBE to threads and forums?
Android - Yes. Once logged in navigate to your favorite thread or forum. Once you are within either your selected forum or topic/thread use your MENU button and click on the SUBSCRIBE option. Once you have done this then just click on Favorites in the top tab bar to view your subscribed items.

iPhone - Yes. Once logged in navigate to your favorite thread or forum. Once you are within either your selected forum or topic/thread you should see a button in the top right hand corner of the screen. Click the button and then choose the SUBSCRIBE option. Now, once that is complete click on the More tab and choose the Favorites item. You should now see your subscribed topics/threads and/or forums.

It should be noted that in both Android and iPhone anything you subscribe to will show up in the respective Favorites section.

Can you get the app for the ipad? Or is it only for the Iphone and Android?

@percussionist The app is currently for iPhone and Android, but an iPad version is coming. I do not have a date for you as of yet, but we will be sure to announce it once we are close. :slight_smile:

awesome! do you guys have any plans about windows phone 7?

I love this APP on my iPhone. It keep me more connected with the site. Whenever I’m bored, I like to log in to see what people are talking about.

I don’t really like how it automatically scrolls to the bottom of the page upon opening a new thread or clicking to see the next page.

[I’m on my iPod, by the way.]

I agree with JoJoBear. That does get a little annoying especially when you want to start reading the thread from the beginning.

^JoJoBear you can change the settings for that. It will go to first post, first unread, or ask you each time you open a thread.

^ right. I did notice that there seems to be support for scrolling to the first unread post (of course it just scrolls to the very bottom of the list). My guess is that the implementation isn’t quite right, so a quick fix should work it out.

I changed my settings to every time i click a thread, it will ask do I want to go to the OP or first unread it’s good for threads I frequent

Me too :slight_smile: I like the option
This app is awesome!

Very nice. Thanks you.

The app has seemingly crashed on my iPhone. I looked under the app reviews and someone else said they had to delete it and buy it again. Do I really have to do that?

Reboot your phone.

@PRiNCESSMAHiNA I would follow the advice of ghuskies and reboot your phone. Please let me know if that does not work for you. Thank you. :slight_smile:

@unlocked Not yet unlocked. Right now we are focused on Android and iPhone, however, we have not forgotten folks on other platforms.

Works great! Thank you!

every time I click on a topic, it scrolls to the very bottom, which is pretty annoying…anyone else having problems with this?
iPhone 3.1.3 if that matters haha

@chris1212 Hi Chris, this is the normal functionality when viewing threads. If you do not like it what you can do is this. Go to the More tab and choose the Settings option from the list. Scroll down and you should see a setting called Landing Behavior. Set that option to Oldest Post and now when you view threads it should stay at the top instead of scrolling all the way down. Hope that works for you. :slight_smile:

@SonicDMG thanks that worked perfectly!! I must say the is one of my favorite apps
