Download the free PF App for iPhone/Android phones

Just hit 200 installs!

Nice! Now if only we can get 20,000 we can get that Super Secret Squirrel Decoder Ring we've been wanting!

Sorry folks, the iPhone app will be a little be longer. Apple rejected the app with a confusing reason. I'll figure it out. I must say the Android store process is vastly superior to the Apple store.

What's the reason they gave? iOS has its disadvantages, but, they are more stringent in their security measures, which is good. But in our case, I don't see the possibility of ill-intent. Maybe a lapse in the security of the app?

I finally got it approved. It can be installed on iPhones and iPads

A Kindle version is waiting for review. Should be available next week.

We can use one of those here on campus... we have bazillions of squirrels to decode.

Those aren't squirrels...those are miniature space stations...

Somebody rated it a 3 and didn't leave a review.

I will find him, and I will kill him.

Just reviewed and rated the app (the review is in portuguese, since I downloaded from portugal's app store). Overall the app looks pretty good. The only flaw I can point is that it doesn't support Latex.

Not sure if it has been already reported but the emoticons doesn't show up.

:)---> this turns to
but
: smile : (without spaces) doesn't show the smile emoticon.

I am using the PF App for Android.

Thanks Pranav-Arora!

Thanks Pranav-Arora!

Rated and reviewed too! :)

EDIT: Why doesn't my review show up when I view the page as a guest on Google Play? I don't know too much about Google Play, can you see my review there?

It takes a day or two for Google to review the review and make it visible :)

I'm using the Android app under an elderly droid 2.1, and have noticed two problems.

First BBCode doesn't seem to work, enabled in the settings or not. I always get the square brackets with the formatting, not the formatting. E.g. This is not bold for me, and I can see the [strike]fnords[/strike]bs in square brackets.

Second, if I press the back button in a sub-forum, it force-closes on me.

Is anybody else getting this too?

On a positive note, the app is still enormously better than the PF Mobile browser version.

 

[Ibix]

Ok - sorry - the bolded bit above is bold for me. My assertion was too bold, it seems. However, strike did not work. And I think sup and sub do not work:
^sup_sub
Edit: nope, they don't. I see the tags. But italic does seem to work, and so do quotes and hyperlinks. Do I have font issues or does tapatalk?

I just checked the previous page. Are you giving gold membership to those who review this app?

Yes indeed!

 

[Drakkith]

Yes indeed!

Can I get promoted to "Da Moderator" if I review it?! Or has Evo already taken that title?

Da Moderator is out there. It can't be bargained with; it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, EVER, until you are BANNED.

 

[Saitama]

Yes indeed!

Can I have it? :)

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Can I have it? :)

You do have it :)

 

[Saitama]

You do have it :)

Thanks, I was using PF on mobile when I posted my previous post so I did not notice it.

I rated the app for iPhone. I'm happy to say it has a much nicer layout. Just need the TeX.

The iPhone app is unusable for me. Immediately after logging in, it tries to go to a tab labeled "Unread", and it just crashes. I've attempted this 5 times. It crashes on "Loading Unread Topics"

I am using the iPhone 3gs iOS version 4.3.3

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be submitting an updated version to the apple store on Monday. Once submitted it should take about a week to be accepted and released.

Hey trying out the app but I cannot figure out how to maake threads

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Are you sure you are logged in?

 

[trollcast]

Not sure whether its my bad wifi connection but on my Nexus 7 sometimes it doesn't load a thread properly and only displays the loading symbol, I've left it for a couple of minutes before and it hasn't loaded anything.

But if I go to the menu and click refresh the thread pops up automatically?
