UX: It's not obvious the star means you follow a request #106

After https://github.com/jfilter/frag-den-staat-app/issues/103 I see it is released now: You can follow a request.

However, that only works by clicking a strange "star" icon. IMHO, this is not a good UX, because:

  1. a star can mean anything. Usually on Twitter or so it is related to "liking" a post or so. Thus, one may be misleaded into thinking this is a feature to "like" an FOI request.
  2. When you long-press on the icon, you should see a text (description) of what it actually does. In my test, nothing was shown.

(Android app)

@rugk Where can you star requests in the app? I don't see any such icon in version 0.10.8

You need to be logged in to see the stars.

I am logged in. At least when I click on ... More it shows "Welcome ..." and a Logout button.

Okay, you don't see stars on your own request. But it should work on other requests. If this does not work, please logout and login again and/or re-install the app. If this still doesn't work, I may broke something.
