Okay, so I have an iPhone through work and just recently bought an Android phone for personal use. Of course one of the first things I did was go on to Google Chrome and launched The Den. At the very top of The Den home screen it asked if I wanted to get The Den app? So I click yes and now I have the app on my Android, which is cool. However, when I physically searched for “The Den” app in Play Store / App Store again on both the Android and the iPhone I could not find it on either. Does everyone else know there’s an app or am I the last one? Any instructions for the easiest way to get the app, Nate or mods?

I have had the app for quite awhile on Android.
I don’t remember how long it’s been out.

Is it not one of those apps that’s not really an app, just a website bookmark?
Yip, thats what i use
Nope. It’s an actual app that I downloaded.
When I search for installed apps, the Den app is listed there. So it is an actual app. What’s weird though is it didn’t ask me for my username or password. It just automatically logged me in. So there must be some sort of connection between the app, the site, and my sign in credentials?

The platform that powers The Den forum (and lots of others) is called Discourse, not to be confused with that chat app Discord.
This app is a feature of Discourse, not something our fearless leader put together.

There’s an app for that?
I need this app
Someone please walk me through how to get this on my Apple phone
Yeah I had to download the “discourse hub”
And then load in the “thedenforum.com”
And boom baby
So, answering and closing here: there’s virtually no difference between The Den mobile app and the browser version. The app not technically a native app to The Den (leverages “Discourse,” the software that runs the site)—it’s merely a “wrapper,” that frames the site into an app.
My advice would be to just use your mobile browser. I haven’t tested the app and can’t make any claims to its speed or usability.
