Do you want an iphone app? I think this is the only way to go

IPB3's mobile skin seems to work well across all phones so I'm sure it can be done. Obviously I haven't tested every single one out there though.

I am sure it can, in fact I know it can... I was just asking Kier and Mike to make sure this is kept in mind and to build a MOBILE skin not an iPhone skin

Any reason why we can't have an app and a mobile skin?

More development work? Would be better just to create a wrapper app that loads the site's mobile skin without any of the normal browser chrome

Yikes... Is this thread STILL going?

I want to grab the Iphone, and Droid markets. So I am willing to pay a bit more [for xenforo] just to see a mobile application.

Iphone4 may display xenforo like it was nothing....but I don't want a 'browser' I want an app that takes the user from the apps home, to the app itself and vice versa.

The guys at Tapatalk are aware of this great development at Xenforo and I guess we'll hear from them at some point.

In fact, I just looked right now -- http://xenforo.com/community/threads/will-there-be-tapatalk-support.873/page-3#post-19855

They are already here. It's a great application and would be a fantastic additional feature for Xenforo. Tapatalk is already a very mature app that has gone through several enhancements and revisions. It's probably far more important for the XF team to concentrate on just getting the forum front and back end to release candidate stage and work with the folks at Tapatalk to let them handle the mobile app portion for a while.

Threads are actually fine to read on the iPhone, it's just the rest of it that needs developing for small screen devices. As someone else has said, solutions for other forum software hasn't been that great. It would be nice if browsing a xenForo site on my mobile I get everything the desktop version gives me but optimized for a tiny screen.

I don't want users to have to buy apps for their phones so they can browse my site, like tapatalk or forum runner.

On the iPad, apart from a few niggles I think it works really well. Better than other forums I use. VB3 is pretty good too though, with the default skin

Excellent. Very very excellent to hear. A good mobile skin is very important to me and my future user base.

XenForo works great on the iPad, though the Next, Prev and number buttons could do with being a little bit bigger for us fat fingered cats.
It's pretty usable on the iPhone too, but the fonts could do with being a bit bigger on the iPhone.

Well, if your doing an iPhone app, can we have a Blackberry one as well please

Site looks okay on the Blackberry, just if the page nav goes into double figures, you can't view any more.

I started a project a few weeks ago to re-write from scratch the entire vBulletin style in HTML5 and to use the Less Framework to make it work on all device sizes, whilst also bearing in mind touch interfaces (rollovers are a big no-no).

You can see my progress here: http://test.lfgss.com/

Now that style is not yet complete, and it's for vBulletin, and I paid a pro designer and it's my copyright... but... don't build an iPhone or Android or iPad or Blackberry app... just make the HTML work everywhere.

BTW, if you click that link... make sure you re-size your browser window

There not doing an iPhone app jut a skin it will work with every mobi browser..

That's impressive. If XenForo had something along these lines, it would be killer.

So when's this getting done?!?!

Honestly, I think a mobile style is more suitable than an app. Looking at a certain company, and what they tried to do was market "unique applications that login specifically to a specific forum", the entire plan backfired as the rules for Apple iOS bar the flooding of applications that could be construed as "similar" in functionality. It has to be an "all in one" type app that allows a user to universally login to any site.

With a mobile style, at least we can customize the style further and have it executed properly as well as done well.

This post may be relevant to your interests. Specifically:

So I assume we'll get a mobile style with 1.2 later this year, which is half-way there.

Apps is like grass - overrated! i'd rather have a tarmac'd garden.
