Any chance you could get an Android Ap?

I searched the playstore and nothing showed up

I knew D90 was in a situation when they couldn't get the ap to work because of legal wranglings over the ownership.

Thanx for all the hard work to make this happen.

Which app, specifically? If it requires custom programming, probably not. The commercial owners like Vertical Scope can do those because they sell ads in them. We're on a shoestring budget here.

Forumrunner appeared on my iphone as a suggestion, but it crashed anytime you tried to type. So I ditched it.

I have Forumrunner, but it appears the hook on this site side isn't configured.

Hmmmm, ok. I will have to download it tonight and debug. All of these apps are basically all pieces of shit. They're a pain to support on the server side. ForumRunner, for example, doesn't support HTTPS (secure browsing) so I had to make a special unsecure server for it to make it work. There might be something wrong with that configuration.

I can look into Tapatalk if you guys like that one.

Is there any benefit to using an app instead of accessing thru a browser like chrome?

I don't get the apps. You're potentially looking at ads inserted by the app developer, plus you often have to buy the apps. The apps that I've seen don't support HTTPS so everything you look at is viewable to the NSA, your employer, etc.

CumminsForum has a pretty sweet mobile skin. Is there interest in getting a mobile-specific skin up and running in lieu of an app?

Honestly I'd prefer that to an app
