Is there an app for the Iphone?

Ummmm.... What?

huh? theres tons of apps for the IPHONE...

are you asking bout if theres an FTF app?

No FTF app... Tom and I were asking for an iPhone skin for the forum a long time ago (these vBulletin forums are easily skinnable) and I even offered to help implemented it but it fell on deaf ears unfortunately.

The other site has something similar for android (not sure about iPhone...) and it's really not that wonderful. Would be the same as reading on the browser, just visually organized more for a phone.

My main request is just a new skin that has larger, more finger friendly buttons. The button that I click the most is the little tiny box next to the thread titles which takes me to the "first new post" in that thread. It's tiny and very hard to click on the iPhone without first zooming in on it.

I feel your pain. It would be nice, but I can live without it.

I can read the site on my ipod touch ok. Some stuff is hard to click though.

Don't get me wrong-- I browse from my iPhone all the time (doing it right now writing this post). It would just be a lot nicer with a finger friendly skin and it wouldn't be that hard to implement.

Sometimes I have to touch 3 or 4 times to actually hit the right button.

One of the jeep forums that I go to has an iphone app. It is a lot easier than just browsing.

I was just surprised when I searched for an app for FTF. Especially when scan works for apple.

In order to make an FTF app I would need access to a lot of the backend stuff in the site-- and I don't have that.

I think it would make our site a lot more popular.

ok, so we don't have an FTF app but you can view the site using an app called forumrunner. If you go to the site using your mobile phone it should notify you that the site can be viewed with this app and direct you to purchase it.

Let me know what you guys think.

Should be a good option. Some of the screen shots look promising for touch screen usability. Good find! Thanks for installing the plugin, Scott.

Did you say it was only around $2 for everyone, Scott? Might be a good option for those of you out there willing to spring for the app.

On android there is a free "lite" version and then a full $1.99 version. Should be the same for the iphone.

I downloaded the free version on my phone and it seems to work pretty good. On the android version you download the app and then open it, then go to forum browser and find the cars category, scroll down to Ford and FTF should be listed there. Once you get the click on menu and add to your favorites and it should be easy to find each time.

Hope this works well for everyone and you enjoy.

just need a good icon for the listing, max size is 128x128

how about the logo mocked up for the blacksmart skin? We can shrink it in paint.

Looks a little better
