It is an accessibility issue. The font size is too small. Not everyone can read 4 point font size. People can have poor eyesight or not able to buy new hardware because that's what you suggest.

You can just zoom-in or zoom-out the browser and show the text you want to see. That update is not necessary at all, this feature was raised too many times since 2014 and will not be prioritized as there are so many problems in this forum from scammers to spammers to be solved first, then you're going to add that.

You/people must wait until there's a new forum software release which I don't know when it will happen. Or you can use this mobile addon for android, only if you want.

Google penalizes web sites that are not mobile friendly so it's really a no brainier for theymos. More traffic means more ad revenue.

Theymos will not care so much about that IMO.

It’s prettying hard to reply on iPhone 6.

Then you should be used to it or should find a way for bigger screen size for you to use the forum. I don't find it difficult in using with my phones either way.

I don't understand. They could just install a theme for and that is mobile friendly.

Something like this

https://www.smfmobiletheme.com

Notifications is nice but just have mobile friendly theme (bigger text) and ability to reply easily is the most important.

many have suggested that before but the admin decided to not implement it . anyway the forum looks okay on mobile browser . you gotta make sure that you use modern browsers like chrome or firefox because the captcha does not load on older browsers like opera mini , uc browser , etc ..

afaik , there also an unfocial bitcointalk app on the google play but i dont suggest you to use them as they can be risky .

My only reason for wanting an app would be to get notifications into my notifications Center on my device. Other than that this version or the beta version of the site gets the job done.

I don't see any application of app in the daily use of bitcointalk forum. It runs pretty well on the iPad that I'm using. The web based functionality has to be there because we have to come across many pictures and videos sometimes. The app will shrink all the tables and tools present here so that would be little uncomfortable to me. Plus different section has different stuff posted which might not be supported in the phone. For example have you seen the signature campaign and new ICO announcement? They will always have big whitepaper published in the form of PDF or codes which would be very big to be loaded on the phone that too within the app. Better have it like this only.

i am using bitcoin talk site on my android phone. i've tried searching and downloaded the bitcointalk apps for much easier way to open but it doesn't work. i tried to used my username and password but it was incorrect. so, i guess it's not legit.

Bitcointalk is very very good place of many opportunities.
I am very newbie here, but I was looking for an app of bitcointalk forum for my iPad but I didn't find any.
So I think there should be a very good app for iOS and android devices.
What do you think?

I've been looking for his app for this forum, but I've never found it. If you look at a bitcointalk app I'm sure it's not an official app from this forum, it's a third party app.

Of course it's great community and good place for bitcoin users because here are the greatest people and assistants of popular services, maybe for someone application on smartphones will be useful but I think this website has very simple template and it won't be hard for customets to enter with browser here and plus don't know if this forum's cms version is ok for android and ios app, maybe there will be need of modification or we will see all these features in new forum cms which is announced.

I don't think we need need an application for this since the forum's interface can easily be accessed even while browsing at your phone's native browsers. When I say phone native browsers, the preloaded stock browser there meaning much more less features to the usual web browsers so just imagine the speed if you will browse it on famout mobile browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Opera, UC etc.

The site loads smooth just like you are accessing an app so basically we doesn't need this.

It might be that with the new forum update, such an app will be released hopefully. Most users are also browsing through mobile devices, so it's definitely a great idea, though

.
As of now, no app - even Tapatalk - does not support the forum because of its forum version and security.

You can use Bitcointalk.org Forum app like others said or you can use Tapatalk available on iOS as well its useful if you tend to use multiple forums everyday, I prefer to browse BCT on PC though I do a lot of typos while making posts from phone.

1. The BitcoinTalk Forum app doesn't work anymore due to the new login captcha system.
2. Tapatalk is also not available for the BitcoinTalk forum.

There is current no app or other way to browse this forum in your mobile other than to use the normal desktop version.

Why you need an app while you can access it through your mobile browser? Even you can get the full feature as well as you are on PC, I think app is not really needed for anyone including newbies like you.
Even if bitcointalk staff is planning to make more mobile friendly forum then I still think an android or iOS app is not really needed. Just make the forum more fit to mobile screen without needed to zoom in zoom out is more than enough.

No idea for the iOS app of bitcointalk forum and theymos isn't supporting any of them if there are apps that are popping out for the forum.

It's very easy to access to the forum when there are no problems because you can simply log in with the browser. For android users, we can use google chrome for it.

And for the iOS users they can just browser through safari. I don't trust any app for now if theymos or any staff from the forum will not support it.

If its not coming from the forum administrator, then it cannot be trusted and maybe its due to security issues and control that's why Theymos is not supporting the idea because I don't see him just willingly not supporting the idea on an iOS without any tangible reason.

I have seen applications built for the forum that uses details and algorithms in the forum and its still working which I feel Theymos input or approval would have been gotten before having such access. Example is the bctaccountpricer website that brings down practically everything that has been done on the forum from the beginning till date.

The bctalkaccountpricer.info is different from the bitcointalk app that we are discussing. Because in that pricer the only thing you need to put is the UID.

Unlike those apps, it can get the whole information, username and password. And the developer can have the key log of your details on their very own database.

That's why I don't have to use such app for this forum that doesn't have support from theymos and other good tech people here.

Its not a problem to access the bitcointalk.org forum in tablet phone or any devices the site is responsive and i think you will not experience any problem accessing this forum i remember that there is dark version or night mode of bitcointalk..
ow i found it here maybe you also wanted to test the dark or night mode version of this forum https://beta.bitcointalk.org/boards
The good thing is not the same as normal forum style but it can decrease the radiation of your monitor or LCD..

I am also hoping that they can also make an bitcointalk app this is already requested from a long time but until now i think they are not interested to make bitcointalk app since the site is responsive even you are just mobile or tablet..

I acces bitcointalk.org forum from my android phone everyday. I have no problems, all the functions are working, I can upload image's, I can acces everything. The only thing different from a computer is the size you see the forum. So you have to zoom a little to read in forum but thats normal. I dont think we need an app for this forum because an app would do the same thing: redirect you to a browser. It does not worth to spend money for creating a complex app just for this forum and I am sure the admin would not pay for that
