The PhysicsForums app on Android Galaxy S5 is not user-friendly for creating threads, prompting some users to resort to desktop access. To create a thread, users must log in, navigate to the menu, and select "browse" to find the pencil icon for new threads. However, many users prefer the mobile website over the app due to its limitations. The discussion highlights frustrations with the app's functionality, leading some to decide to delete it in favor of using a laptop or mobile web version. Overall, the app's lack of intuitiveness is a significant drawback for users.

Hello I have an android galaxy s5 and had to log onto my computer to do this post. I have the PhysicsForums app and can't find out how to create a thread on my phone.

The app is not that intuitive. First off, make sure you are signed-in: you have to go to "sign up" and then log in. Then, click on the menu at the top left and go to "browse". Once you are in browsing mode, a pencil icon will appear at the top of the app to create a new thread.

I use the mobile website, not the app.

If you have a computer or a tablet, I suggest that you use them.
 
Thanks for the reply Evo and Russ. I've come to the conclusion the app lacks on every level after viewing the webpage. Therfore I shall delete the app and participate from my laptop, and mobile website on occasion. Thanks again
