Discourse overview

There's a Discourse app for Android 5.0+ and iOS 11+ phones and tablets, which can be set up to send you notifications on your phone.

To install it, get the app from your app store - you can subscribe to several Discourse sites if you wish. Once installed, open the app and type "discourse.ilovefreegle.org" into the first box. You'll then need to authenticate by logging in at ModTools, which should redirect you back to the app. If needed, tap the top-left X to close the session and re-enter. You'll probably need to approve your device receiving notifications and user session info. If you see a message asking you to enable live notifications, tap "Enable notifications" if you want them; you'll likely need to approve this too. You'll then get notifications according to your Notifications settings.

You can add a shortcut icon to your phone's home screen by tapping the top-right ⋮ (vertical dots) icon and selecting "Add to home screen".

Screenshots
