I'm just glad that they're trying to improve the mobile platform. Hire ASAP please.

I give the Chive 8 months before completely selling out. Ads already cover 80% of their page. Anymore and we'll be required to fill out a survey before viewing the pics.

Where the fuck are these ads everyone keeps bitching about?! I've been Chiving for two years now and they have had a consistent amount of ads the entire time! Every now and then there's something for a movie or a game or a liquor, but the page has pretty much kept the same layout for the last two years.

the worst is the moble site. adds bouncing around while you scroll get annoying.

Jailbreak/root. Adblocker. Free. No ads. Then quitcherbitchin'.

I don't know

Or you know some of us have iPhones (no Adblock) and aren't really wanting to go through the process of jailbreaking just to skip ads on this one site. Think. Use common sense. No stupid comments. Then quitcherbitchin'.

Request #1 for future Android mobile app developer: Make the mobile comments section access the same as the desktop comments. Part of the fun of theChive is the community, I hardly ever use the Android app because the comment sections aren't the same as the Desktop.

Right now you have to use Facebook (I think?) to commend on mobile posts and I don't want my mom and grandma seeing me comment on how much I like a picture of someone's gap.

i LIKE YOUR MOMS GAP!

Dear Chive. I think You need to Hire a Mechanical Engineer, From TX, maybe around the N. Houston area.

I cant really think of a reason why… But It would be good for yall, I have a good feeling.
Easy

Good. Finally. Your mobile site sucks ass. Why don't you make their 1st priority to implement code that makes the pics expand to fit the width of the screen when viewed in landscape. Done make me click through twice just to read a friggin demotivational poster. Thats lame ad-whoring. Stop being such huge ad-whores.

We are really, truly sorry for providing free entertainment. Again, sorry.

Right on Leo. Easy, why don't you ease up, or pay for pro.

I love how so many people complain about a free site that from all my wAtchin is fuxking awesome. KCCO FUCKHEADS STOP BITCHING. Chive rules now I just need to get my hand on a shirt so I can show the world.

Easy

They announced it in public. That automatically makes it our business. It's hardly free either. Thy get paid for every thing we click through. When their /very/ basic mobile site hasn't worked right since day one, and they ignore emails about the problem for years, yeah I'm gonna come in the comments and bitch. But you know, go ahead and stay on team stupid. That's clearly working out for you. Clown.

http://freshdub.tumblr.com KCO617

You're exactly who we don't need around here. It's a mobile APP btw you clown. It's free, they have to make some money to keep it running or otherwise it wouldn't be cost effective for them to let you view their content on the go. Monetize, evolve and kick ass.

Easy

I'm not arguing with using ads for revenue. That's how the Internet works. They can monitize it any way they see fit. The shirts are a great way. I already have two. This is not my argument.

My issue is with the site(s) functionality. Its just not up to snuff. And it's not just the apps, it's the m dot, i.e. mobile site, that I'm referencing. The apps are largely unusable. The m dot is close to having its basic functionality down. Close. But the images don't expand to fit the screen when in landscape. That's pretty basic, and sad to have not fixed in the past couple years. I've emailed the chive, I've emailed resignation media too. No response. So sure they're looking for a team member to work on these things now, but they also paid someone to build the .com and m. In the first place right? So they should tell them they missed something simple like the image resize issue and have it fixed. Like 2 years ago.

Robs a DOUCHE Can i get an A-men brothas n sistas?
And fix the god damn gifs. WTF and some higher res pix would be nice.

Jeez, it's about time. I love the Chive and have for a while, but their app is garbage.

How about a Windows Phone app? There is an unofficial one on the market place that is half decent, but one like the official one would be appreciated.

I don't know

I'm not really sure why people use apps for any site including thechive. They never have all the features of the site and they take up room on your phone and still require an Internet connection to use. If nothing else you should just use a shortcut to the website that way you can see everything and comment and all that.

Easy solution: get an iphone….

http://www.facebook.com/willberry88 Will Berry

But I don't want an iPhone.

wp7

Yes! Windows Phone rocks. Don't forget an app for it too!

thatguy

Hopefully they can fix that piece of shit you call an app.
Enable gif's and video, get rid of banner ads (as the last update was SUPPOSED to do, but did not).
DB Conor

Immensely like. Chive iphone/iPad app does not facilitate either keeping calm or chiving on.

glad to see that you people are using your free time to complain, since you have so much of it why don’t you get off your ass and do better?
