Trying to be a member of the Steemit community without mining is a bit difficult but trying to use Steemit on mobile is a really difficult move! There's next to no help with Steemit for mobile and it can take a long time to load all was pages, all the posts and so on.
I don't see much changing untill someone builds a notifier app for Steemit for Android/mobile. Oh well, back to work...
