Title: Forum Phone Apps?
Post by: Komoe on December 09, 2016, 03:51:09 am
Hey guys
So I'd love to take the FH forum around with me when i leave home. I know that the forum can be accessed using the mobile browser, but it isn't mobile friendly.

So i was wondering...does anyone know of phone apps that make accessing the forum away from home easier? What do you guys do?

I don't think there really is a way. I did some looking around to see if there was any Simple Machines Forums apps and from what I saw, there aren't any.

My recommendation is to just use your favorite browser and maybe tilt your phone so you view the forums landscape. That atleast is a tad bit closer to the web layout.

You're welcome :D and if I come across anything I'll let ya know. From a bit of reading I think it requires a forum plugin, so that would be up to the staff to decide whether or not they want to implement that. So, so far that should be your best choice atleast

I think it's a nifty idea and would greatly benefit those of us who are constantly on a mobile or have little access to a desktop/laptop during the day c:

Although, I can imagine the plugin would only be implemented, if at all, once the site is finished being renovated.

Well, there is an app that can be integrated to forums, but I do not know if it's compatible with this Simple Machines/forumotion layout. It's called Tapatalk, it used to be available on another community I'm on, but I never used it, so I don't really know how it works...

 Oh yeah. I forgot the site was still going through renos...maybe I will make a suggestion on the suggestions board about it!
