I've only been able to use it from a browser. @m1sscynical @getongab It works as if it's an app. I have an icon on my phone. I click on it, and I'm in an environment that doesn't look like a browser. It wasn't obvious how to set it up at first. Now I don't launch a browser, I just click the icon. Link to reply@RepThomasMassie @getongab What about GETTR? Is that you in there or a test account?
