Hi guys, I'm writing this off my iPhone and came across the IP Board app as its written at the bottom of the mobile forum (which is far the best for mobile). I wonder whether someone is using this and whether it makes sense to get it.

I use a BlackBerry, but I suppose it's up to you. It would depend on what you spend your time doing, and how many features the app would make easier for you.

It's not worth any money, but it is neat. I couldn't get used to the layout, and IP Board Forums won't connect/let you login if they're not up to date (often Avsim is a version or so behind).

There is also Tapatalk (or whatever it's called) but I prefer to just use the mobile version of the site.

Yeah I too prefer the mobile version over the app, it seems more intuitive.

Well, mine is working perfectly and the layout is pretty the same as the mobile version ofthe forums. And it has the ability to check you topics for new posts.

Right. Because the Avsim forums are currently up to date. Just giving you my experience.

I used to have the app on my iPad but I deleted it as I found it easier to just use the desktop version of the AVSIM forum.Happy Holidays!Aaron G.

I'd like to respond to the "AVSIM is usually a version or two behind." There is a reason for that. Every time a new version of IPB is released, we need to check against ALL the 3rd party apps we have installed, hooks, modules, etc and make sure they are all up to date and have revisions. No to mention all the custom tweaks we applied. This can take time.Tapatalk will always work, as that is upgraded more frequently. If you need a mobile app, I'd suggest that one.

John, those of us who are tech-savvy appreciate the fact that you do just that. I've been a member of forums where people just blindly update because they can, with disastrous consequences for that forum. Keeping my account information safe by ensuring 3rd party apps are secure is also paramount and waiting awhile is always good practice to let any security issues come to light in the IPB community. Again, thank you sir.

I agree completely. I follow the same practice with web hosting. I update servers in the middle of the night when I have plenty of time to recover if something goes wrong. Better safe than sorry, and being careful always pays off.
