Added everyone above. As soon as the deep link is available, I'll edit this post and add it. Browse to it using your Windows Phone.

EDIT: Here it is.

This version has a bug that incorrectly sets the current thread page to 1 when the app is pushed to the background. If you spot any more issues let me know!

This might be because your phone software needs to be updated, the app is exclusive to a different mobile provider, or the app is not available in your region.

It's just like last time. Even though it's up on the marketplace, it takes a bit for the app to actually be available. Just try again every 30 minutes or so until you get it.

The new version is great so far. I like the swipe between posts mechanism. It works really well. The addition of the alphabet thing on the forums page works a treat. Also looking forward to the favorites feature.

The right jumpto post works well, though I would've preferred it if you had to tap on the right to reveal it (similar to the status indicators at the top). The forums and threads pages are also black even on the light theme, though at post level all is well there. This is probably intentional, but the text colors of the post pages seemed to be swapped (non-accented/accented).

And it's been pinned. Thanks so much for what you've done so far!

The app seems pretty good so far, but what's the deal with the order on the individual forum listings? Seems p. random to me. Also, the lack of spell check and stuff on replying is a bit of a downer.

edit: also, after posting a reply, it doesn't clear/disappear the reply text box, which is a bit weird.

The thread list, right? I sorted them by priority:

1) least new posts
2) most new posts
3) no new posts

I modeled this after my own viewing habits, where I often refresh the view forum page to see if there are any new posts to a thread I've got my eye on. If you aren't a fan of this behavior, I can add a setting for it.

I hear you on the lack of spell check for replying. What's available now is super simple, so you at least have the ability to reply. Rest assured I'm working on a nice n' fancy text editor for the future.

Hiding the list like that is a good idea, I'll add that in. :) To be honest, I completely forgot about the light theme. Does anyone actually want a light theme? Black just looks better :colbert:

I think Microsoft is a bit anal about it during testing, from what I've gathered.

I can confirm that, my first app failed cert right away because I forgot to test it with light theme.

And add me to beta too please, *got it thanks*

Should we make a separate thread for the SA app since it's taking over this thread?

Thanks for adding me. It keeps telling me I'm not worthy, though. Does it take a long time to update or is it possible that you misspelled my email address? A lot of people miss the second 'n' in hoffmann.

As far as opening a separate thread is concerned, I'm not sure that's necessary right now, as there's not a whole lot of talk about other apps we're interrupting.

Thanks. Posting this from the app, and I have to admit that I like where this is going. Really like the choices you made on how to navigate threads. The only thing that I'm missing at first glance is support for bookmarked threads. I'll report my findings as I go.

How's this for jump list hiding?



Light theme handled as well (nice post/accent color combo).

Yep, just tap to show. Once you've finished navigating with it, simply tap outside of the jump list to hide it again. You won't be able to flick left or right while the jump list is active, though.

So you would have to resubmit the app for every update? What are they trying to do, discourage beta testing? Then again, what's stopping you from putting it up on the regular marketplace?

During a beta test, if the developer wants to push updated code to testers, he or she must end the beta first, upload the new code, and start the beta process all over again. It's pretty silly.

As far as marketplace submission, I can't think of anything that would stop me (perhaps needing an SA account to use the app? Their testers won't be able to use the application without one).

That does indeed sound silly.
I was asking what's stopping you from uploading it to the regular marketplace because I know nothing about the process, but I did get the impression that doing that would make it easier for you to work on the app, as we could provide feedback on new features without you having to jump through hoops.

You can't use the Facebook app without a Facebook account either, so can't see why that would be a problem.

This is supposed to be the default behavior when you tap on a thread from the thread list. I've noticed that when the newest post is the first post of a page, the app incorrectly sends you to the previous page. Looking into to it.
