HBT on iPhone?

[JLem]

anyone know of an app for the iPhone that would allow easier viewing of HBT? I hate using safari to check the forum since you need to constantly pinch and zoom and navigation with such a small screen is awful.

I check out HBT all the time on the Droid. Maybe I have great eyesite....isn't so small I can't read.....

Im on HBT on my HTC all the time and its fine for me... you need glasses old man or dont drink so much home brew before you surf your phone

I use Opera Mini. Not so much pinching.

Would be nice to have some kind of reader API (Tapatalk?) to streamline things tho.

A double-tap zooms in without having to do the reverse pinch thing, and a single tap with two fingers zooms back out.

I do a lot of browsing on the iPhone and it isn't incredible, but it works.

Double tap zoom and/or flip it sideways. 90% of the time I'm on hbt, I'm on my iPhone. The only thing that can get tedious is long posts.

I keep an eye out for interesting posts on my iPhone via rss feed in google reader. This way I can easily see new topics without having to go navigate the mobile unfriendly site.

I read HBT on my iPhone everyday, and it works fine. Yes u have to zoom in and out a lot, but you have to with any forum site. Forum boards werent designed with the tiny screens in mind.... Honestly, its no more zooming than pretty much any other "full" site!

 

[JLem]

Well, I was hoping for a forum-reading app that apparently doesn't exist. Thanks for the replies.

i wish they would get tapatalk. Cmon moderators / admins. Hook us up!

 

[eanmcnulty]

I read HBT on Droid all the time. Works great.

 

[ruffdeezy]

Yeah it would be nice if it was tapatalk enabled. Honestly the zooming makes it nearly unusable right now.

I see this is an old thread but I'll reply anyway. I think there is a way to enable the mobile site for this forum... although I could be misremembering.

Tapatalk would be amazing.

The part that confuses me is that I thought the owners of this site also own City Profile and that site already has mobile versions for Android and iPhone.

Does that mean one will be coming here soon?

I avoid tryng to read HBT on my I Phone. It doesn't come in properly any how. No Banners or colors. Just black and white text. Another vote for tapatalk here

 

[Guidry]

The app store has a couple available. I use forum runner for another forum (another hobby) that follow. Seems to work well. Works with vbulletin with a minimal setup effort on the part of the board owner.

Another +1 for Tapatalk. Was reading the enabling process on their website for forums. Seems fairly straight forward.

Linky to their forum owners FAQ:

Please make it happen... Pretty please...

The Iphone app is comming. Apple's holding it up. Not the admins.
