Mobile Support

Thu May 24, 2012 9:51 am

The BN is now supported by Forum Runner.

Forum Runner is an app you can download that lets you interact with The Brewing Network forum from your mobile device.

Currently, Forum Runner supports the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad as well as Android OS devices. They plan to support other devices such as Blackberry and Windows Mobile in the future.

iOS: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/forum-runner-vbulletin/id362527234?mt=8
Android: http://www.appbrain.com/app/forum-runner/net.endoftime.android.forumrunner

There is a free version of Forum Runner, but it only allows read-only access to the forum.

We're also looking into Tapatalk, with the goal of simultaneous support for both access methods.

Our native mobile support has been removed.

Anyone have opinions on Tapatalk vs Forum Runner? I was thinking of waiting to see which is better since I don't want to pay for 2 separate programs that do the same thing. Cheap I know but $5 is almost a pint in some places :aaron

No worries. I liked the mobile format on my Phone but not really having any issue using the full site. These days network speeds are sufficient so no biggy

I kind of liked the mobile support. Actually spend more time on the forum from my phone than my computer these days. I can get the app though if its a problem to turn back on, so no big deal. Thanks Code for all your work with the BN.

I kinda like the mobile at least compared to the full site on my Phone. But my vote is for tapatalk over forum runner for usability.
