Pro Tip: If you encounter the 'Something went wrong' error when opening links from your email digest, try opening the link in a mobile browser instead of the app. Multiple users report that the browser version works reliably.

This app rarely works. Attempting to open questions from my emailed digest usually results in "Something went wrong. We are looking into it. Please try again in a few minutes.". It's never fixed in a few minutes and if I copy the link from the email and just open in a web browser it works every time. I installed the app for dark mode support, but with this failure ratio it's best to just uninstall and use Chrome.

The only reason I got this app was because while reading a post via email (something I've been able to do for months with no issue) it kept giving me a pop-up for the app. I was unable to close the pop-up or go back. I had to choose out of the email, go back in and reopon which usually brought me to the website with no issues. But now when I'm on the website to read something it blocks me from being able to read anything and just covers the majority of the screen in this impossible to ignore ad for the app. So I reluctantly download the app and it ahead me if I have a profile on quora, which I do. I log on and then it tells me to set up my profile! I can't do anything else until I set up a profile, which I had already done. Now I can't find the post I was trying to read! Very frustrating!

I used to be able to open a thread in my email and read it. Now when I open a thread it always pops up covering the screen recommending the app, with no way to close the pop up. Basically if you want the privilege of reading anything in the email we send you every day, you have to install our app. So I installed it, leaving a review now, uninstalling and unsubscribing. I used quora occasionally to pass time, not enough that I want an app dedicated to it and shouldn't be forced to install it.

so upset because while i was in the middle of reading a nice big ad comes up and blocks the screen, you cant go around it or anything. you have two options to either download the app or say you already have it. either way it takes you to the play store and away from what you were reading and sometimes you can never find them again. worst thing ever!!!!!!!

This app is slowly circling the drain (along with its parent site). Errors frequently pop up when trying to share within the app, with no apparent updates fixing that issue. If you want to write something, leave the app to do something else, then come back, good luck picking up where you left off. Worst of all, though, is the site itself -- after depleting its moderation team, it's become a safe haven for all manner of unsavory types. I still use it, but I'm not sure how much longer.
