When will the mobile apps do anything useful? They’re total crap, and have been for a few years now. Seriously, forcing my users to have to use the thick client for basic functions is beyond stupid.
Every time I ask this, support says, “like what?’ Seriously? Have you even tried to use a mobile device to get anything done? I’m going to go out on a limb and say no.
Designate 50% of your workforce to do all of their work exclusively using mobile devices. You’ll quickly realize that asking “like what” is a lame question. The list of what’s missing is so ridiculously long that you’re basically telling me that you have no idea how hamstringed your own products are.
Better yet, check out the long list of mobile features your clients have been requesting for years. That’s another great start. And it’s pretty darn long.
And don’t bother trying to tell me that mobile is a nice to have ... more and more people are using mobile exclusively (or almost so). Get with the 21st century before it’s over, and add basic “get the job done” functionality to the apps.
I really shouldn’t have to answer, “well then what good is Confluence?’ every week just because someone found yet another feature mobile can’t do, or handles poorly. For example, using it on an iPad Pro is an exercise in futility and makes me want to agree with the haters and kill the team site. Nor have we run into much success using android tablets, so clearly it’s not operating system specific, which means it’s a design failure.
