Mention and Attach in Android Comments

By Derek on November 21, 2014

Leaving a quick comment helps you communicate with your team. Getting specific by mentioning someone or attaching an image helps you get your point across. We’re pleased to announce that you can now do both while on the go with Flow™ in the Flow Android app.

Cleaner Comments

We’ve built a new comment form! It’s cleaner, easier to use, and more functional than before. When you open it, the blue Action Bar disappears and the form controls expand so that you can focus on your writing, with less distraction.

Easy Image Picking

Tap the ’+’ icon in the comment form to attach up to 4 images from your device with the new gallery picker.

Inline Mentioning

Mention teammates as you comment by typing ’@’ followed by their name; pick them out from the auto-complete options that appear as you type. If mentioning someone gives them access to a list, we’ll check with you first before posting the comment.


We’ve also made a bunch of incremental updates with this release:

  • Lots of bug fixes
  • Simplified UX for tag and subtask creation
  • Ability to unsubscribe yourself from a list, and updates to list editing
  • Small UI/content updates and fixes throughout

Thanks go out to the Rebound Physics and AndroidViewAnimations libraries, which were used for building animations.
