(not sure if this is the right place to do it but couldn't really find a better one so far, apologies if I'm mistaken)
While the option of offline access IS exciting, I have questions regarding the mobile app that I have not seen or seen answer for so far:
will the app also integrate with the forum while the device is connected to wifi or cellular data? Meaning, will it provide for example notifications of subscribed threads or private messages received? Also connected to this, will it have any sort of notification for possible promotions or launch of new material?
Again, apologies if this is not the right thread to ask these questions and thanks in advance for any reply :)
The mobile app will rollout out into beta in multiple phases, similar to what we did for the site.
We currently have no plans to implement the forums into the mobile app - forums on mobile are a notoriously difficult to implement from a user perspective. We're not happy with how our mobile display works on the site on a phone even.
If we see there's feedback contrary to our current plans, we'll certainly listen to that, so let your voice be heard.
Thanks!
Thank you very much for your reply BadEye!
I too agree that the focus NEEDS to be on the functionalities for the gaming itself, and to reply to others, my questions were merely explorative, not actually asking for a forum integration to be included or even taken into consideration as a needed feature (I could have probably worded my questions better, admittedly) :)

Any news on the state of a mobile app? I noticed it was asked about, according to this topic, all the way back in March and the last comment on this forum is from September. Has there been any news on the progress of a mobile app?
Well if this is the place to put one's name in the hat for Alpha tester ... count me in.
I am sorry to tell you that the Alpha access will be granted to people who pre-ordered XGTE here on the site before it's release or bought the Legendary Bundle.
It has been mentioned that the access will be granted to 10.000 people, so I am not sure if they already have that many pre-orderers or bundlers. Maybe if they have spare accesses they will do some sort of ruffle or the like, dunno.

I hadn't heard that Legendary Bundle owners would get Alpha access. That is news to me. Does that mean when the Alpha is released people who purchase the Legendary bundle will get Alpha access once it is released? Where did you here this?

I'm not sure where it was heard in this case, but I can confirm that Legendary Bundle owners will get alpha access. I can also confirm everyone that pre-ordered Xanathar's Guide to Everything will get into the alpha, regardless of the 10,000 limit. As I shared earlier, the 10k limit was a precaution in case we were unable to overcome a certain technical limitation that we were able to overcome. Finally, I can also share that we intend to open the alpha testing up to folks that did not pre-order XGtE at some point in the process.

I believe you mentioned the LB granting access in a Livestream (I might be wrong though). Also happy to be corrected on the 10k limit, the more the better :)

Is the app available now?! I pre-ordered Xanathar and dosn’t receive any notification :( sad panda
Anyday now.. got mail yesterday to give my apple id details...not sure if they are inviting per wave... now just waiting for actual invite that it is available for downlaod
Agreed as well. The forums work just fine from a browser.
I want the app to be quick and convenient for offline use, so if you can avoid bloat, all the better!

We might hear something about it during the dev stream on Wednesday the 22nd.

Good to know, thanks!
Would be nice to know if they hit the 10.000 users mark mentioned or if that people can still make a chance
This is great news. Thank you!

This is brilliant. Thought I’d missed out, but the LB got me in.
Were heading off the grid for about two weeks, so this announcement is perfect timing. It will be tested... oh yes...
