due to the tapatalk issues, http://laserpointerforums.com/f59/tapatalk-disabled-now-due-security-issue-88335.html , i've decided to install forumrunner

the app is $1.99 on iphone, i just purchased it (note: LPF doesn't get the $1.99, forumrunner does).

seems to work fine so far but just started testing

Looks good. I'm using it now on Android.

The interface isn't as pretty as Tapatalk, but that's almost preferable. It seems like a straight forward "get in, get out" workhorse.

I'll note that even though I purchased it ($2) there are still ads. I hope those are LPF's ads, not Forumrunner's? It would be kind of lame if they force users to buy the app, add their own ads on top of that, and don't share the ad revenue with LPF.

^^ Just reading that has stopped me buying it.

Also, Tapatalk didn't work for MOD's. Don't know whether this will either.

It's not working anymore anyway. Gives me an error about an unknown response from the server.

if you get an unknown response error, it probably means a rule i wrote has a bug in it. im putting in some custom mod security rules to secure the app a bit more , and this could cause false positives

Any word on this Ave?

I'll buy the app if the ads revenue goes to LPF, but I'm not going to let an app developer double dip by making me pay for the app and view ads.

LPF would make money from the ad in the app, not the people that created the forum runner

How difficult would it be to have an app coded? Is it super difficult. Also, one off topic thing is that a lot of times when I am posting on my phone I accidentally hit the add right below the text box when I go to scroll down to submit it. It is frustrating because I lose everything I typed and I get taken to a different website. I don't think it warrants a new thread so I thought I would toss it out there.

I'll take a look at this. I sorta liked tapatalk, but it didn't quite do everything the way I really liked.
