Our programming team has completely revamped the server-side of things to handle the various platforms on the phone/tablet side of things. The iPhone part of that update is now feature complete and we're just finishing up some graphical elements for it, so I expect that to be released very soon. The Android app should be much quicker to finish off seeing as the server-side is already complete and it will have the same features as the iPhone version.

Troy, my Mom tried to install he TouchBB app for iPhone, but it is no longer available in the App store. Is there going to be a dedicated Castanet Forum App at some time?

Thanks for letting me know about TouchBB. It looks like we will have to find another solution or build it ourselves.

Just want to point you towards tapatalk: http://tapatalk.com

Appears to be compatible with phpBB. I have the android app, but I believe there is an iPhone app. It works well. I only use it for one forum, but I get notified when a subscribed thread is updated.

Well, it's finally here... Castanet's Android app is now out:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... .app&hl=en

It has all the features that the iOS version currently has and both apps will now get ongoing updates more frequently. Please send in your app-related requests, comments, and bug reports here.
