I don't see the benefit in that, i'm on 4g and like i said i can set TPU as homepage so practically instant access, just need to wake the screen & hit "web" & presto! Could be beneficial for person's on slower network i guess? Am i missing something else
![]() It would need to have some noticeable advantage's/feature's for me to be truly interested, sry W1zz need more info

Browsers work fine for me.
Most android apps geared for forums,websites, and such, seem to be no more than links. And, I create them in the browsers. Just my opinion. ![]() Edit: Unless, I am missing where you are going with the idea... |

I would mind one. As it stands I kinda don't like the mobile lay out how it is. I switch to desktop mode on my phone its slower but easier to navigate of their was a nice mobile app for TPU I'd use it.

I'd definitely use it but without the forums seems incomplete.
It would help for people like me who can't have full access while at work. |

Maybe, some type of widget that is switchable for things like reviews, news, recent posts, pm notifications, new downloads, important info, links, etc.?

IF there was going to be one Android is the logical choice for launch...
those who don't have time to check TPU during daily routine they will appreciate mobile app. |

I say if you're going to do it, no app. Just make an equivilent of mobile for the forums. Installing 3rd party software to participate in a website is asinine. The only exception is if the app could do something important web browsers can't be made to do.
All smartphones with a browser can access a website. If you go the app route, you'd have to make no less than three versions using three different languages (Java for Android, WPF/C# for Windows Phone, and Xcode/C for iPhone) and that's a lot of work.

What's wrong with the current mobile version?
It works great on my not-so-smart phone. The lightweight version of the forums works great too.

Ford is right, the app should be web based so it works on most devices. Also, why exclude Windows Phone in the poll?

Dear W1zz, please allow posting of polls inside the thread instead of the redirect to the front page. Im sure you can sacrifice a few page hits for this! Thanks!
