Default Cell phone app???

I was logging in and I a window popped up on my cell to download the "land rover forums app" so I did. It is from the IB AutoGroup. Does anyone know about it? I thought it would lead me straight to the forum but is seems to go through several pages and I never find the forum.

IB is our gracious host. They provide this forum and several hundred others for people intersted in a variety of vehicles and activities. They sell the ads you see, which pays for the party. IB gets 200 million plus page hits a month, and is a multi-million dollar operation. I ran the app on my smart phone and it worked well, but I passed phone on to offspring and have a dumb phone now, which matches my other skills...

I have it on my phone. Thumbs up. Browse to this forum, add to the Favorites, and one click gets you here AND logged in.

Every time I load this forum on my phone it asks if I want to download the app, then I just get a whole page of coding, and nothing else.

Is the app better than running the full-website?

I find the full website to be superior to the "mobile website" on both my IOS and android devices. I always click "no" to both the app and the mobile version and go straight to the full site.

I'm tempted to try the app if everyone finds the experience as good (or better) than the full site.

Do you have one of those silly I phones? Sorry, just kidding. Seriously, my install was seamless and painless.

Right there with ya, 99. I always run full site and not the mobile site on my phone. The app for this forum does not allow private messaging, or viewing member profiles (or if it does, I haven't figured out how to do it) but like I said, I kinda like the one-click-I'm-here-and logged-in.

Well, there's your answer Zach. Love teasing my son about his switch to "the other side" (both lap top and phone.) Hope you don't mind the kidding.

Haha I don't mind... I've had 3G, 4, and now 4s. Also have a MB pro for personal use, and one for work. I prefer Apple but am certainly not a fanboy!
