Is anyone using the ProBoard iOS app to view this forum? I keep seeing the ad for it when I go to the forum in Safari on my iPad, and was wondering if it actually works with this before I shell out the $2.99.
Thanks!

I keep seeing the ad for it when I go to the forum in Safari on my iPad, and was wondering if it actually works with this before I shell out the $2.99. Thanks! I also was wondering about this app. As I don't seem to have any trouble reading or posting to this forum from my iPhone using the web browser I'm not sure why I would need an app. So I'm wondering what I'm missing. - Beau |

You're probably not missing anything. These forum apps sometimes have even less functionality than the browser. Although some of them have features like tying in with your phone notifications and stuff like that. And if you follow multiple forums, they're a good "one stop" shop place to view and coordinate everything. I use Tapatalk for a number of other forums I'm on, and it works pretty well. I don't think it's compatible with this forum software though.
I think some of these apps require that the forum administrator install a plugin on the forum so that the app can connect. I don't know if the ProBoards one is like that or not, and if so, if the plugin has been installed. So just wondering if anyone's tried it out. Would hate to buy it and then not have it be able to access this forum.

Just finished listening to this week's podcast where Bobby said he's been using the app and it does have some advantages. So I guess I'll buy it and try it out...

I'm posting this from the app. The app does have some advantages, chiefly with the way it displays/tracks threads. You can't format posts from it though.

I paid for it and installed it on my iPhone and couldn't get it to work. Maybe I'll have to try it again.

You have to be sure to specify the full "talkingcomics.freeforums.net" for the URL, you can't just search on a partial. That tripped me up at first. Once you do that, you should be able to log into it with your forum username/pw. |

Got it working on my iPhone now. It's pretty good! Still can't get it working on my Nexus 7.

I was going to buy it, but then I realized I really say too much in my posts to type on a touch screen, and I really don't use my laptop for much anymore so I figure might as well use it for here  . Maybe I'll check it out someday though. Kind of pricey for an app that should be at most .99 cents. |

I've had it for a while, it's fine. Not exactly worth the asking price but it works for what it does.
