    Whoever makes this app should take some design ques from BaconReader on Android.

    Especially the swipey menu as opposed to the default ugly popup one..

    Or rather the Android Design Guidelines in general, they set the benchmark, really.

    When someone manually quotes someone else (without a post reference number) it doesn't show who ha been quoted.

    AFAIK, I'm afraid that there aren't any immediate plans to develop a Blackberry version. You can still use Tapatalk to access the site via an app, albeit not quite so smoothly.

    The 'drag up and then release to refresh' feature causes the app to crash at times.

    For "participated" threads, it seems to show the ones I've unsubscribed to on the web version as well.

    I wish the app was a bit more exciting and had something to really give for the iPad version cos atm there's not really a huge advantage to using it over using TSR from the web given the iPad screen is large enough to enjoy TSRing from Safari.

    What would you like to see?

    Remember, the app isn't supposed to be all-singing, all-dancing, it's supposed to be a simplified and easy to use version of TSR :yes:

    I dunno, I just know there usually has to be a reason or advantage to using an app rather than the website, and atm for the iPad it's nicer using the web so that is what I do. I guess easier browsing; integrating the multi-touch stuff that the iPad does into it would be fab, e.g. so it's easy to flick through PMs or threads and stuff; a way to easily upload videos from the iPad and/or YouTube onto TSR, a better appearance and maybe even different skins, having the font options show up, having the moving emoticons and avatars working; just overall making it much more interactive. I have a few other ideas but I'm rushing to the hospital right now and cbb to go into detail

    Fair enough I get that, and that role works very well for iPod touches/iPhones/Android mobiles.

    Still happy there's an app though!
