Proboards have forwarded this message to me, they have now produced a mobile app. Not having a very technical phone I have no idea how this will work but this is what they sent to get it. Let me know if it is any use, you never know I might get over my phobia about using new technology and get a suitable mobile!!!! Code: Hey everyone!

Warning, I have just heard from the other board that there is a cost involved in downloading this app

I just got it for my iPad last week, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet.
The app has a directory with about 15 folders, with categories like Education, Family, Health, etc. and within those folders are 2,324 forums. I looked under health and under family, but I didn't find this forum listed. It did, however, come up when I typed in the full name and I was able to log in.
I wonder if you need to register your forum somehow. If I recall correctly, you designed this forum based on another proboard forum for HFI. That one didn't come up either, so there must be some requirement for letting the app know that you'd like your board listed in the directory.

Fmmom. How's the app going, is it any good, I see your name comes up with a little phone next to it now when you are online
I tried looking into registering it, I'll look into it more at the weekend when I have time, unless anyone else has time. I thought proboards were doing a directory but I haven't been able to find it yet so people could see what proboards were out there. Otherwise does that mean you just have to type in the whole URL to get it, I haven't got an adequate phone to try it yet.

I really like the app.
When I first get into it, it lists all the forums I participate in, so I click on whichever one. My screen name is listed, so I click that and I'm in. I don't have to type anything at all.
The first page that comes up is a list of all new posts, so it's really easy to keep up with. I can also choose another tab that lets me see any thread that I have participated in. This is very simple to use. This is my first attempt posting a response using this app, and again, it's pretty easy. However, I read in one of the reviews that it's not possible to start a new thread -- and that seems to be accurate as far as I can tell. At least I haven't figured out how to start one...
Being listed in the directory won't change anything in how I use the app -- it's just so people who buy the app can find the group. Honestly, as I think about it, I'm not sure you really want random people who decide "hmm, this sounds interesting, let me try it..." There is something to be said for limiting the forum to people who know exactly what FM is and need to discuss things rather than answering questions from the merely curious.
