An app just for the forums, does one exist?

If not, please make one it would be great

One doesn't exist, and I can't see one ever being made in the future. Just use your mobile browser, works pretty well for me on my iPhone.

something wrong with your phone browser? do the forums not load?

Cosimo · 26 Apr 2012 at 13:22

You don't need an app as your browser is good enough.

Let me guess, you'll next want an app that tells you when to take the beans out the microwave because the buzzer/bell isn't good enough?

No, I specifically meant an app that knows when the microwave has reached 0:00 and it shouts get off your fat *&^%*&^ lazy arse and take the beans out sir.

An app would be cool whether it is practical over a browser or not. Let the coding commence!

What would you want in an app that you wouldn't be able to do in a browser?

It would be able to display the content in the most relevant way for the device. See tapatalk as an example of how to display a forum on a mobile device. Whilst viewing the forum in the browser does work it isn't optimal for the confines of a mobile screen, there are better ways to display the data.

Not that I think for a second it will get implemented here however.

I don't think that is the right question. It is not a matter of additional features it is about the best way to display the forums on a mobile device.

Although to be fair I still use the browser on my phone as opposed to a dedicated forum app, but I can see their benefits.

Are there any apps that do something you couldnt do through a browser?

None of the apps i have on my phone do anything special that couldnt be done through a browser. (with the possible exception of things that access the phone's hardware...camera, gps, etc)

Indeed, some people will be happy with the way it works currently. Others would prefer to view it in a way that they feel is more suited to the devices that they use.
