Tianya Community has released a new mobile app called "Tianya Lite," so why am I still using the old "Palm Tianya" app? (Android version | Tianxie Hao)

The new version of Tianya's internal test, though as an old user of the Tianya community, I habitually enter familiar sections. By chance, I clicked on the homepage of the Tianya community; due to bookmarks, this is a homepage interface I rarely click on. I saw that the new version of the Tianya community was undergoing internal testing, not sure for how long, so I decisively applied to experience the new version. Today, I saw the message that I had been approved and am currently experiencing it.

In the message, there was also a link to the new Android application, Tianya Lite. The download link for Tianya Lite could not be found on the old interface, it was still the old Palm Tianya, which I have never liked. The new Tianya mobile app has been out for some time, but being late really means being late. There's a download link for Tianya Lite at the end of the article.

The new version of the Tianya community no longer feels as rigid as before, with soft hues of light blue, making it more refined and reminiscent of Sina Weibo, simple yet grand. The Tianya Assistant will no longer function because the new version does not have the Tianya Treasure Chest. Although the Tianya Treasure Chest had already lost its functionality, we would still directly only see the original poster (OP), highlight the OP, but I still like using the Tianya Assistant because it allows setting signatures — you know what I mean. However, all these have become part of the past. In the new version, posts by the OP are clearly marked, and there’s an option to only see the OP. Although Tianya was one of the first to have this feature, I feel that Baidu Tieba's "only see OP" is better done, as their page numbers change and are reorganized. On Tianya Community, the page numbers do not change when viewing only the OP, even if there is no reply from the OP on that page, the page is still retained. Mopu does not have this issue either. To be honest, reading threads this way is quite troublesome, and the new version hasn't solved this problem.
