Mobile workflow

enjoying the friending meme, lots of fresh activity on the friendslist *waves*

but this is underlining my problems with the LJ mobile experience.

dear hivemind, what can i change to make things better?

specs:

• Samsung phone with Android Marshmallow


• email client is Google Inbox


• browser default is UC Browser, with Chrome and Samsung's "Internet" as backups


• official LJ app

problems:

• the official app doesn't properly display a bunch of custom LJ tags - usernames, community names, polls


• the official app won't let me choose a freaking userpic


• the official app can't negotiate CAPTCHAs


• browsers have more functionality if i display the desktop page but still can't negotiate CAPTCHAs (and it's really easy to fat-finger the wrong link)


• i can't respond to comments from email

has anyone found a better way?

i see there's a .ru app. anyone know if it works any better and if so, if there's a way to sign in with a .com LJ?
