    Vote for a forum app or not

    Hi folks,

    I just need to gauge how much interest there is for a forum app or not as I know a lot of people are more than happy to use the forum on their devices browser.

    Keeping in mind I can trial forumrunner or even develop my own which may be painful.

    If you haven't done so yet, please try to use the forum on your devices browser and see what you think.

    Remember we have the mobile version program running which is easy to use but unable to upload photos which is painful. You can switch to the normal website by scrolling to the bottom of the forum and pressing "FULL SITE".

    Try that and then please vote honestly above.

    Do you want an app or happy to use the mobile version/normal website on mobile device.

    What is this "forum app" , what will it do, and why do we need one ?

    Im guessing its to do with viewing the forum on your phone etc ?, personally i use the full version of everything if i ever use my ph for the net (not often), anything else other than full versions seem VERY restricted and frustrating to me !

    Wow! I am the exact opposite!! The only time I use the App is to post a pic as it's simple and easy. As a result I rarely use photobucket now.

    99.9% of my time here regardless of the device is through Safari.

    Teache how to post a pic from my device direct to the forum via safari and then happy days.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    +1 for an app here.

    Find mc so much easier to navigate on the smaller screen.

    Its so much easier with an app and its faster especially when you have lower then average reception or using at time with high internet/ data traffic it will load up the forum otherwise it'll take forever buffering and timing out. As it was said loading pictures and videos is easy plus getting notifications when your quoted and following threads is alot easier too.

    And limited adds.
    You only get the info you need on an app..

    Sure mc is crap, crashing and failing to upload pics etc, but I still find it much easier to use than even the mobile version of the web..

    Yeah just went straight to the mobile version when I used the browser. Didn't like it much. I like how the app displays the unread threads first instead of searching your way through menus. Can you change the mobile version to do that?
    Anyway I prefer an app and would happily pay three and half cents for one.
