Does anyone use an iPhone app for the TalkBass forum?

Sign in to disble this ad
I would love to know if anyone is using an app that is a good reader for the TalkBass forum. I've tried a few that don't really work with vBulletin forums/sites, although they claim to. Any suggestions? I know I can use the browser, but it's just not very convenient.

Thanks in advance for the input!

Having read through it myself just now, looks like Paul and the admins have a new version of Talkbass in store, which will be compatible with one of the apps! Good news, hopefully this comes soon.

I use the Safari browser with my iPod touch, and it seems to work pretty well - once I get past having to zoom in a lot.

I'm using the Safari browser on my iPhone right now. It's usable, just not very convenient. The zooming in and out is just time consuming.

With the iPhone 4, the display is so clear and sharp, I don't have to zoom to use the forum with Safari. A dedicated app would be really cool, though.

I ave the older iphone, and I read TB on it when I'm at lunch or killing time. The screen is small, but to me, the only drawback is that internet use really drains the battery quickly.

I would even like it if we could get a "mobile" version of TB for those of us who don't use iphones

I jailbreaked my phone a long time ago. I have the ability to turn off all antennaes. That includes BlueTooth, Roaming, Edge, 3G, WiFi, along with data transmissions. I also turn off every hidden data transmitting setting too.

So I turn everything off and my battery lasts a very long time. The only time I turn on 3G is for Internet use. Aside from that, everything is turned off all the time. My phone lasts so much longer, it's not even funny.

I've literally spent hundreds of hours viewing TalkBass from my iPhone.
I've got no problem just using Safari.

Yeah, I get three and a half hours of internet use per charge on my iPhone. Not nearly enough.
