iPhone App for Forum

[John and Jaci]

When the forum switched over to it's new format there was mention that there was an iPhone app being developed to follow the forum via the app. Was just curious as to the progress on it being built. I've been looking forward to the ability to use my phone to follow the forum. Will it be available soon?
Thanks

It's real easy to put this site on your iphone ( I already did this) on the iphone just click on "Safari" then type in the web address of this site.... then click on the "+" down bottom and then click on "Add to Home Screen" ............. Done

Thanks for the info, I have done that as well. When the forum switched to the new format it was mentioned that an app was being developed. I have used the ForumRunner app for another forum and it is more user friendly than using "safari" to follow a forum such as this, so that is why I was asking. I guess I'll just be happy to get it via Safari until the app is ready.

safari's not exactly the fastest but was unsure if you knew about it....... if that app ever comes out try to post it here as i would also like it.

App has been developed and look for an official announcement next week on how to download and install on your iPhone or Android.

[John and Jaci]

That's great. Thanks for the update.

I tried tapatalk and didn't realize it has to be installed by the forum administrator to work.... I tried this site and the other two casita sites with no luck..... I thought i could just type in a forum name and it would be there...... Am I doing something wrong?

nope the forum people have to enable it on the site for it too work, .....it is free for them to do, they just have to do it,......

the app cost like 2.99 or so, but works really well.......

i use it for tdiclub.com

I'm using the iPhone app. I can't figure out that the number on the icon is alerting me about. There's a number like I have messages or something. What's up with that?

I had the same thing with a number 2 on the icon..... i hit a few things and it went away so not sure what it was about..... I checked my personal messages to see if that was it but my PM's where at least two weeks old. Still have to say that app works really fast and is a pleasure to use.

Joe, I'm happy with the application overall. It works well with my iPhone and my iPad. I just like to find out what that number is all about.

I'm also using Dragon dictation to write this message, I highly recommend that app.

[Robert Johans]

This sounds very interesting!

Would any of you mind describing in a bit more detail what exactly this app is called; where it can be found/bought; and what steps are necessary to make it work with this forum?

Thanks very much.

Robert everything you're asking is a sticky at the top of this forum. Here's a directly link: http://www.fiberglassrv.com/forums/f...ces-44489.html

The app is very cool indeed! I can now add pictures to my posts. It works very well. Highly recommended!
(I'm using both an iPhone and iPad).

Speaking of other apps - I love TouchDraw (iPad app only, but they are coming out with a Mac version, they tell me) for doing tech drawings. I used to use Xournal (a Linux app) but TouchDraw is one sweet little program for iPad users!

Another one I like is PhotoGene (iPad & iPhone app) - it's what I used to put balloon comments in photos in my reno posts.

A little late but...


These are unread subscribed threads. At the bottom right there is a "button" with the word More under three dots. Pressing "More" brings up a menu page, the top of which is "Subscribed" (like going to the list in User CP). When you have read the posts in subscribed threads the number will go away.
