Airstream Forums 12+

Others have said this, and I’m in complete agreement. The app is wonderful and easy to use. The community is thoughtful and always there to help. The app layout has been cleaned up with the latest revision. But one key feature from the website is not available on the app - the ability to mute/ignore a thread.

Sometimes the discussion isn’t relevant to my needs, or is about something that I’m. It concerned with. On the website, it’s easy to mute the conversation, and it won’t show up in my thread. On the app, the thread will keep showing up as long as users are commenting. It’s a great feature and I cannot understand why it’s not included on the mobile app.

Update: notifications for subscribed threads no longer work. They stopped sometime back in March. This makes the app far less useful, especially since the search feature does not work well.

Really handy for reading the forums. I find it easier to sift through watched threads than the website. The forum emojis don’t work in this app. vBulletin uses proprietary emoji so that’s probably why. Not a big deal but sometimes it’s confusing.

For writing posts, it lacks some things. Namely you can’t add photos, and I take nearly all my photos with the phone.

The search feature doesn’t always work. Sometimes you have to do it multiple times for it to work.

Member views lack some features. If you want to view all posts by a certain member you can’t do that from the member’s profile, which is a bit of a bummer when someone references a post they’ve written in another thread but doesn’t link to it, which happens quite frequently in my experience.

I use this app daily and hardly use the website. That’s because I’m mostly foraging for info and learning as I lounge around in the evening. It’s fairly good for that. If the app had the features mentioned above, and updated to use modern UI conventions, it would be super!

That said it’s a free app and I appreciate that it’s available. The forums are priceless!

I have found this app to be a helpful ally in my decision making. It's as though I am at an Airstream Conference and able to listen in on conversations amongst the experienced Streamers. It is a nice mix of old forgives and newbies. As forums often tend to do, folks get their feelings hurt and end up a little snippy, and not everyone is as intelligent as they present themselves to be. That's reality whether in an app or at a dealership or at a campground.
