being able to write route comments in app

please if possible add the ability to comment and add pictures and stuff in app

and why is it not currently possible?

I believe this is intentional to prevent a torrent of unhelpful comments. 

I also don't understand why comments are not turned on in the app. It doesn't make any sense that I have to log in through MP.com via a web browser to do so. 

This just seems like bad UX to me.

If there is a concern about comment SPAM, then consider limiting comments via the app to users that have had a profile for a certain amount of time (e.g., a year+) or have commented on other routes X number of times or limit the number of comments that a user can make via the app to X per month.

There are multiple potential solutions.

I'm pretty sure I asked about this in 2016/2017 in these forums and one of the admins at the time Said the reasoning but I don't recall what it was.

Anyway good luck with your help desk ticket; perhaps this will be the thread that sparks change among the developers!  

I will happily do the work for free to allow commenting in iOS app
