Just to be clear ForumApps has had a bit of a price increase to $79 a month for the base level. Hope XenForo considers how many people we are losing to Facebook groups and their app.Yes. Usual app development would cost around $5000-$10000 per app. You'll pay only $240/yr which is much more cost effective for smaller forums.

Fake user numbers and reports from Facebook most likely, just like their video section. And once the superstition is in peoples heads, they'll just recite it over and over.What makes you think you are losing users to Facebook groups?
Then I showed the wrong version. I know they have a custom one at least in the works that I saw a video of. I’ll try to find it.That’s Tapatalk.
Yeah, I know that one inside out. They’ve been working on that for over an year now but that’s custom and only for their website and forum.Then I showed the wrong version. I know they have a custom one at least in the works that I saw a video of. I’ll try to find it.
Just FYI, you referred to it as the Xenforo mobile app, which doesn't exist. What does exist is a 3rd party providing a mobile app wrapper to your forum which you pay them monthly for. It's not anything official.Am I understanding that the base price for the Xenforo mobile app is $79/month?
I don't believe there are many options available. Just stay away from Tapatalk if you come across that.Ok thanks for clarifying. Are there other third party app choices worth considering?
Try this:
Home Screen Installation
johndaroza submitted a new resource: Home Screen Installation - Web App Install Banners Home Screen Installation This add-on will add your site to the home screen with the relevant icon, full screen behaviors, themes, standalone appearance without browser bar etc. Before installing: Open...xenforo.com
Works well. No need for a mobile app. Just post setup instructions for your members. Then click on the forum icon - opens immediately, just like a mobile app.
You can create web shortcuts on iOS devices if that helps.That's neat, unfortunately would be Android only from the looks of it.
We're in the same boat, have been for some time and as of yet - haven't found a real solution that is affordable too. There's some great web wrappers around, but a truly native app is ideal.. One day maybe.The feedback I've received is that users liked the convenience of Tapatalk and don't like using a browser to access my forum on a mobile phone. So the shortcut idea is a good one, but it's still using the browsers. Personally I access my forum with my iPhone and Safari and have no problem with it, but others don't like it. Tapatalk spoiled them, and I had nothing but difficulties getting support from Tapatalk when I needed it, and really don't want to go that route again.
If you have a very basic vanilla XF board, like no customizations and addons, then a 3rd party app could help you out. Otherwise the current approach of the responsive system is by far the best. Because all of your sriff works just like on desktop.
So unless XF creates a native app which would force everyone to be compatible with it, I would advise you to stick to responsive design.
From that description it sounds definitely as vanilla. Almost nothing to worry about.Thank you sbj. I'm not sure if mine qualifies as plain vanilla or not. I have an ad system installed and custom colors and a few graphics, etc. I want to accommodate users but can't justify nearly $1000 for a year.
