[Merged] Interest in an iPhone or iPad App for MacRumors.com

[Septembersrain]

I've been using Tapatalk. After being forced into a third party app for Phandroid, I pretty much stopped using that site all together.

If they do make a separate app, please don't discontinue Tapatalk compatibility.

Hey guys sorry if I posted this in the wrong part of the forum. But I wish macrumors would make an app. Be a lot easier then going to the webpage. Just a thought.

If it's the forums you want then Tapatalk's your app.

Terrible App

Which is why I don't use it myself, but I can't see why MR would craft a dedicated forum app elsewise. And given that their front pages lead straight to the forums, I can't see them creating a dedicated app for that, either.

Tapatalk does seem to be the defacto standard for forums, though.

MR forums are perfect on mobile. No real need IMO for an app.

Perfect? I'd not go that far myself. Better than Tapatalk? Imho, Indubitably

So I subscribed to notifications for MR on Tapatalk but then I deleted it. Anyone know how I can stop getting over 100 notifications on the daily from the website now?

Alert Preferences in your profile might be a start.

Just use the website on your mobile browser... It has a mobile version for a reason.

 

[pika2000]

Why? I'd rather access MR from a browser when I want to than having a space-wasting app just dedicated for one site.

I use it everyday. What don’t you like about the app?!

To give you an idea about the requested feature for a mobile application, this thread listed below dates all way back to 2008. However, I think the desktop site works really well for Safari.

MR Web Browser works great for me too----

 

[Septembersrain]

I'm still using Tapatalk. Still works fine for me. I'm on the pro version.

Well to the mods, if you decide to create an app, I want contribute (UI wise). Cheers

 

[Mad Mac Maniac]

Oh I forgot about this thread... good times... Always makes me chuckle. This app has been "coming" since 2012.

 

[AngelsEmpire]

An app? I’m in! Can’t believe nobody’s thought of it until now.

 

[McGiord]

App news means share the ads revenue with Apple, that seems a no-no for this and any small business.

Hello MacRumors family,

I was just wondering if there are plans for the creation of a MacRumors app. If so, I am curious to know where developers are at in the process. I am sure that many other MacRumors users would greatly enjoy an app as opposed to having to load the website every time they wanted to log-on. Thanks!

Cheers!

Does MR have an app?

 

[TallRed]

Check the Google Play store.

Nope.

I'd like to see an app created. No ads but a "pay for a cup of coffee" style tip function.

Oh and dark mode of course.
