There is already a thread about MR app. Please read what Arn has posted, it's not that simple to do it

I have been wondering the same thing. My biggest beef is in the spy mode on the ipad / iphone, half or more of the time when I tap on a thread to read, the page scrolls at the same time because of the updates and I tap on the wrong thread. I close the page and go to select the right thread and the page moves again and I select the wrong thread. I have to wait for it to move down, then tap right away before another refresh.
All the site admin would need to do is to install a Tap-a-talk plugin. Works great for Tipb.

Does the Mobile App work for the Touch?
there is no app right now.
you can use the mobile version of the site right now, and it works on the ipod touch and iphone.

It's been there for a while now, why hasn't it been forcibly removed?
i dont think arn is terribly worried about it, or he didnt know about it. i know there was an older one that was removed. maybe we should all report it?
it was removed from the U.S. store, but looks like it's lingering in some international stores.

Has anyone considered Forum Runner? It can be used with any vBulletin site, though the site itself has to either do some sort of approval, installation of extensions, or both.
There's a short thread proposing that MacRumors support it here:

I believe that it's possible to either use the main ForumRunner app, or have it "private branded". I've only used the "private branded" version with AVSForum. (Audio Visual Science Forum). I find it a much more satisfactory experience on my iPad than using Safari.

Anyone else itching for a MacRumors iPad/iPhone app?
The site works fine through the various browsers (safari, etc), but a dedicated app with alerts for breaking news would be pretty sweet. Also, viewing the forums on my iPhone is anything less than optimal.

I hate viewing the forums on my iPhone, yet I still do it constantly. It would be very cool to have an app for that, but then again, I don't think I've used ANY apps with built in forums. Maybe that's not possible?
Yeah, I really want to learn to develop apps. I only know some PHP and im fluent in HTML/CSS. Those three languages won't do much for me outside of the web...
Would you guys be interested in collaborating to create this "highly desired" app? We just need a good pitch to sell to Arn . Oh, and we need to patent this idea NOW!
