    When you say "app" do you mean the mobile site that comes up by default, or is there an actual app that needs to be downloaded.

    And forgive me if that is a dumb question as I have only recently evolved to the point of having a smart phone.  :-)

    Sorry to get your hopes up, but there is no app, just a website link.

    I should have said “mobile version”  or “mobile website”as opposed to the “Full Site” view that you can also access on a smartphone.

    Never access the site on my phone. I'm old, still prefer the laptop. I have a smartphone, but really only use it to glance at stuff to see if it's important enough to open up the computer and really look.

    While I check the forum on my phone (using the mobile site), I mostly reserve posting for when I have a real keyboard.

    I never look at a "wall" (public or private) and since I'm here so frequently I have all my notifications turned off. That applies regardless of whether I am using a phone or a computer.

    99% of the time I use the full site on my phone as it is always with me, and the iPad needs WiFi.  I can enlarge the screen, move the screen to the left to see the Categories anything I can do on the iPad. I have lost my proficiency on the laptop with the forum since I rarely use it anymore. 

    If I have a stylus, my own spell-checking is better on the iPhone, but mostly I have to proofread, submit, edit, then submit again as I always seem to miss the spelling somewhere😂

    What’s a laptop? LOL I’m 99.999% iPad/iPhone at this point.

    On the phone, it’s the default discussion mobile view in Safari. I generally only use the phone to read, very rarely to type anything, usually before I get up in the morning or late at night. Otherwise, it’s all iPad, all the time.

    I’ve never bothered with the public wall.

    Activity area - what's that?   ;)
    I occasionally switch to/check the "desktop site" view from my Chrome browser settings on my Android phone, only if I'm looking for additional message formatting options or to see someone's signature line.  Otherwise, the text is too small without turning my phone sideways, so I don't bother.

    i don't view it on the phone or iPad.  Difficult answering or posting.  Reading is enough of a hassel on the phones
