Download the free PF App for iPhone/Android phones

In summary, the new PF App is based off the TapaTalk app, is very similar, and supports tex and list subscribed threads. There is a problem with not supporting LaTeX and I can't seem to find a way to list my subscribed threads. However, the subscribed threads are in Favorites. The app looks clean and supports Dark mode. There is a bug with white space around quotes, and the logo is not shown when starting the app. The app has been updated to version 2.4.4.1 and has 85 installs in under a week.

I'd make the white background of the app's icon transparent. It's really ugly in contrast with all the other icons.
And I was searching on how to enable latex on android, but apparently I don't need to ask. :)

@Greg Bernhardt The app is good, with four problems:

1. The TeX-LaTex problem, which you have already said before.

2. I cannot move it to SD card. Without this, I might have to uninstall the app as my phone memory is small. Please give more importance to this.

3. Why does it need my location?

4. Why does it show me this even after granting permission to access photos?

It says the app is unavailable for my country :/

There's still a “install the app” section on the mobile website even though the app isn't available anymore. Just a heads-up.

Can you be more specific about where? What is the mobile website?

Simply the website you open on a mobile device. In my case: Android, using Kiwi browser.

Interesting, I can't reproduce on an iPhone. Try clicking install. I wonder if this is for the PWA.

Doesn't happen for me either in Firefox on Android, but I installed Kiwi and there I can reproduce @CynicusRex's screenshot.

What happens when you click install? I just installed Kiwi and it doesn't show for me.

Nothing. Other functions on the menu work. Interestingly, viewing source, it seems to be in a div with class "offCanvasMenu-installBanner js-installPromptContainer" which has style "display: none". I can't seem to copy the HTML to clipboard so here's a screenshot:

Is it possible that are seeing a years old cached version?

I don't think so - there are threads I recognise from today visible.

I also see this. I'm using Chrome 92.0 on a Android 11. Clicking the link installs the app on my device.

Does it just add an icon app to your app menu? I'm thinking this is the PWA functionality.

I looks like it installed the app from Google Play. I did not try opening it to confirm (I uninstalled it), but can try to see if it will open the app if it would be helpful to you.

That would be alarming because it should not exist in Google Play.

It looks like the "app" that gets downloaded is just a bookmark that opens the PF page.
