iPhone I need a good app or method for reading forums on my iPhone

jswinden · 10-16-2013, 12:55 PM

I recently tried to read the MR forums on my iPhone. What a joke! I was surprised by how much panning I had to do. I thought there would be a special mobile version, but none came up when I browsed to MR in Safari. Typically I view forums via a desktop or laptop or iPad, but occasionally I do so on my iPhone. So how do you folks browse MR and other forums on your iPhone? Any good apps for this? Any top secret urls for when MR doesn't reroute my iPhone to a mobile version?

Don't know how well it works, but MR is compatible with Tapatalk...

Thanks, I saw that in my Google searches. I will check it out. Cool, I just noticed your updated avatar with Halloween theme.

I use Tapatalk for a couple of forums. It lacks some options that a browser has, so it's not great for making posts, but it's good for reading new posts on threads you are following during the day.

You can also try m.mobileread.mobi

Thanks! That is much better, but still not very good on a phone. But I bookmarked it in case I need to use my iPhone to read the forums.

I use tapatalk on all my mobile devices and it works very well for me.

Tapatalk really is the only decent solution for phone. Theres also something called ForumRunner but I gave up on that in its early days. It may have improved.

Another vote for TapaTalk. I use it on my iPhone and iPad mini.
