Is there some members using Android smartphones here?
I may create an Android app for this board soon

I barely use a mobile phone at all. I have one because my partner gave me her old one, but I don't use it. It's really old too,c. 2004.
I keep thinking it will drop down a drain one day and then I'll get an iPhone. Or an Android (I hear iPhones are rubbish as phones, whatever else they do).

I can't live without my smartphone From emails, gps navigation to social networking it's a really needed tool.

Anyway,I may be the only one to use this app, but it's just a test to check if this could work nicely here.

I just made a very alpha version that lists the latest publics messages.
Phpbb was not made in a way mobile application could read it, but I found a nice way to do it.
As I test it, I may post more messages in the next days to check if it's working all the time.

Hey Alex, looks good and I definitely would use the app. Sadly, I'm an apple-geek.

I don't own an Apple machine so I cannot make an app for iPhone (unlike Apple, we can make an Android app on windows and linux and it's free too). Even more if I had one, the cost of publishing on the Apple Store is 99€

Hey, I've left Apple and joined Android!
How can I get the app?

[alx5962]

For security reasons, I decided to stop the project. PHPBB was not made with security in mind for sure

[Elforel]

oh I see.
