Anyone else want more from the BP app?

Question

Howdy from Waco, Texas!

Does anyone else think the BP app leaves a little something to be desired? I like getting instant notifications from BP on my iphone since I am trying to buy single family homes, duplexes, and other small multifamily properties here for buy and hold or fix and flips. However, I get frustrated often when I go to reply to a post and the app says "something went wrong" and then I have to exit out of the app only to come back to the post and have to retype my reply. A lot of times I also click on the app and immediately after it opens my screen goes black and I have to hit the home button on my Iphone 7 and try again until I usually just give up. None of my other apps do this. I would also like to be able to browse the BP blog on the app but have not figured out how to do it if it is even possible. I have some other issues with it but in general it just seems like the app could be way better. And yes I have a good phone and all updates both to my phone and the app have been applied.

Thanks BP!

@Mindy Jensen thank you for the response. I look forward to using the new version this summer!

@Robert Pfenninger it’s embarrassingly bad. I was at their office in feb and talked with some of the tech guys. I know that they are a aware of the shortcomings and have a plan to fix a lot of it. Remains to be seen though. Think it extends beyond the app - most of the website could use a significant boost.

Thanks for the offer @Ken Breeze ,  but we are currently in complete overhaul mode with the app right now, and looking to release it this summer.

Sorry you're having issues with the app, @Robert Pfenninger . (And @James E. )

@Max Tanenbaum , I'm not sure why the blog isn't showing up on the app anymore, I know we have not made any changes to the current version because we're getting an all-new version.

The fact that there is no way to skip to the end of a thread (from the top of a thread) is real annoying.

Literally have to scroll the entire screen of comments to get there...and then half the time it crashes.

( iOS on iPhone X)

I use the BP App on an Apple IPad. Quality is good - generally no crashes. Would love to be able to delete posts from the BP App once I've read them instead of having to go to home computer to delete.

the app on iOS crashes when I try to send s message. Everyone else brought up the design flaws and UI layout.

We used to have access to the blog through the app, but a couple of updates ago that feature went away. I've asked about it a few times and tagged the staff, but no response :(.

@James E. @Ken Breeze thanks guys! Just making sure I wasn't the only one who has problems with the app. I know tech work isn't cheap but in the smart phone generation I definitely think it would be worth the money spent to create a more functional app!
