Cannot recommend this enough! Makes viewing this forum (and lots of others, including Warlord's) on smartphones and ipods MUCH easier.

So how come it only rates 2.5 stars out of 5 on the app store? Also - paying money for apps? Hmmm. Not sure I approve...

Get the free one.

You can only use it for one forum, just use it for this one.

I am loving it.

What about the other forums I'm on? (McVey and CMON)?

*shrug* it's not like I'm that fussed either way, but based on a quick search of the app store for "forums" there seem to be several higher-rated apps out there that do the same thing. However, the one thing I'm asking myself about all of them is:
"what's wrong with just looking at a forum on safari?"

I haven't used it, but Tapatalk seems to be more popular.

The forums themselves need to have a code in the directory for the app to work. I email Prim and he had it added. Can't comment as to how they would work with other forums.

Looking at them in this app is better because of the layout and font size primarily. There is no need to expand/zoom in to read and type stuff (although that may just be me).

Like I said, install the lite version (it costs nothing) , give it a try (will take minutes), and if you don't like it, uninstall it (takes almost no time at all).

If it does the same job, I say go for it :D

I only chose Touch BB as I was directed to it when I was browsing the Warlord forums..

Tapatalk may very well be the better app.
