wow

I wonder if it has to do with this weekend's forum problems, and the app having trouble getting the data it needs. Still, there should be some power conserving failsafe even in such cases.

You may also try Windows Central app from Mobile Nation.

As of yesterday, I'm receiving 3 copies of the same email sent each time from WC. Haven't made any changes to online settings or phone settings.

forum related issue has been fixed but the battery drain seems suspicious.

Turned on Never Allow in Background.. doesn't seem to matter as the notifications for his app have never worked that well anyhow, and I don't post much. Still, terrible coding.

Until it was broken I hadn't realised how much I use and enjoy this app. Joni Mitchell was right

If your phone screen is off overnight it's not the apps fault it's actually Windows that should be managing its usage. In fact, it even says "managed by windows".

Are you on an insider build or something? Mine barely touches battery.

To be honest I have to agree that the app makes for a sluggish experience on my tablet and laptop. It wasn't like that when it just came out. I hope that changes in the future.

What I love is the polite way he mention there is a problem :grin:

Well that's not normal, I'm using it in Android and there is not issue with mine.

And certainly there were some problems during the weekend, but not sure if are already solved all.

Maybe was something wrong which could be solved by restarting the device and that's it.

LOL. To be honest the app is almost as sluggish as the Facebook app. The post title really catches attention and I hope that the cry for help with this app doesn't fall on deaf ears. Windows Central. you all are working hard but that doesn't change the fact that the app has horrible performance.

Did you try Windows Central app by Mobile Nation? I use that one, it's a universal app, I like it very much. Though I don't use any notifications because there are new articles all the time.
