    Do you prefer using PH on your mobile or desktop?

    I generally use it on mobile 📳, but I lean towards a desktop 💻 for enhanced visibility. It enables me to freely search the internet for newly added products, giving me a better opportunity to try, assess, and vote.

    They have a delightful mobile experience. Love all the notifications and engagement. But I gotta say I prefer desktop for better community engagement.

    @nevena_sofranic Yeah it's clear there is room for improvement, What's the top feature or aspect you wish to see updated on the mobile version to enhance your PH experience?

    I do prefer desjtop. I don't like how the notification are displayed in the app.

    @fabian_maume Yeah, the experience does vary quite a bit. Does that mean you don't use the app at all?

    @shaimaa_sa93 I'm not using the app. If I need to check Product hunt while away of the computer, I'm checking it in web-browser.

    I use both, mobile is great for browsing new releases, but desktop is definitely better for community engagement... the browsing on the mobile app of discussions is sub-optimal.

    @mike_fitzbaxter Absolutely Mobile's awesome for quick peeks, but assessing intricate releases like SaaS tools is a challenge. How do you currently navigate these constraints and evaluate products effectively on mobile?

    @shaimaa_sa93 I bookmark products that catch my interest and set aside time to try them out on my desktop over the weekend

    I prefer desktop for actually spending real time on PH as I can then bounce over to a product's website and check it out much more comfortably! However, for just checking in on the discussion board and general community chat I don't mind being on the app.

    @carolmoh Completely resonates with your approach! It's all about leveraging the strengths of each platform. What potential additions to the mobile version could be game-changers, making you consider relying on it exclusively instead of the desktop?

    I use both, in my opinion PH is equally convenient for mobile and desktop.

    @sviridov Thank you for sharing your perspective! Could you share your experience with evaluating products using the app? There have been mentions in the discussion about it being challenging to assess products from the app—what are your thoughts on this?

    Mainly desktop, so I can thoroughly look through product presentations and discussions. But I use an app when I am on the go and I want to check the daily product list

    @shezzy04 Surprising, right? Desktops seem to have their loyal following. What is it about the desktop experience that you find more appealing or efficient compared to mobile for Product Hunt?
