Amazing news thanks you DD for new android app, Let me now how to download it?

It looks good, very different to tapatalk, has some nice features - like the slider to go between pages within threads.

But I'm finding it a bit slow, and also sometimes I'm getting permission denied errors, and sometimes it seems to freeze - like suddenly, it won't go from thread list into the chosen thread, it just produces the "slide effect" but lands back in the same place - actually it's similar to what sometimes happens in gmails native email app.

Maybe the bugs can be ironed out, if so I'm sure we'll get used to it.
 
I have a SAMSUNG S 2 and this app is not working with Samsung S2, is this for real ?

If I had a nokia 33 10 ok, but a samsung S2...
 
Downloading it now, although it seems to be taking it's time showing up on the phone. Hopefully my next post will be through the app.
 
It is definitely different.. It looks very clean/polished.. Getting used to how it functions compared to Tapatalk will take some time.. but I am actually just glad that at least I have an alternative to the mobile site (no disrespect intended)... Thanks to everyone that help get this implemented!
 
thanks DD. im, excited about this as was missing the tapitalk. I will test out for a week or so and try and make a better review.

OK, so initial thoughts:

The layout is really nice and simple to use.
all seems to be working pretty well.

for me compared to tapitalk:
original layout is better
offers same features
slider at bottom, to change page is a nice feature with tapi did not have

dislikes:
little slow at times
topify load up image is a little to long (it is a couple of seconds, but just feels a bit more than it should)
re the slider, on android it is quite difficult to slide backwards


possible improvement:
I use an andoroid - would be good to make use of the menu button (bottom right on S3), I am not sure what improvement it will make but at present it feels a bit wasted.

like i mentioned, i will take a bit more time and try and see an y bugs/possible improvements that can occur

aside from all above, thanks very much and so far a great add to the BHW community :)

May i know what is the requirement of using in android phone? In my old htc desire with custom rom, it says Your device isnt compatible with this version.
 
Downloaded it for iOS.

Up to now I definitely preferred Tapatalk, but it's probably unfair to make a judgement so soon. As others have mentioned it does seem pretty slow/buggy at times (the first time I loaded it settings crashed and I had to close the app and re-open it).

Anyway, can't complain, at least we have an app again :)
 
I got it on my note 2 and I do like the way it looks. The slider on the bottom does get annoying though, I would rather just scroll to the bottom and hit a button that sends me to the next page or last. But that's just me.
I did find a few problems where I would swipe to the left and it would drag all the posts to the left and show me nothing but blank space. Sometimes I can't even full scroll to the bottom of the thread, it just stops 3/4 of the way. Another thing is the page slider, when ever I try using it it would select the post behind it or bring up the menu on the right.
