I haven't managed to find one yet so I assume mobile apps for Tom's hardware is non existing. Is there possibility of one arising soon? I and I'm sure many others would love an app that we could sign into and post new threads and view the forum from. I think this would be quite advantageous for the entire community whether there on iOS or Android.

I'm looking into app dev, so if there's not one being made already, are there any resources at hand I could use to give it a go? I'm thinking like API wise. :)

Let me check with the devs on this and I'll get back to ya if we can arrange something. :)

Ok, brilliant :)  it just seems more efficient and would be a much more cleaner interface, as trying to use the forums on my tablet like I am now can prove to be a bit of a pain when some icons and other bits and pieces decide not to load up so your there refreshing till they do.

And thinking more logically, we can then receive notifications on replies straight to our devices :)

The only ones available are for the articles and news. Nothing for the forum that I'm aware of.

It's being discussed within the team. Within one of our communities, a user is actually working on a Windows Phone app. I'll bring this up during the next meeting as well. If there's news, I'll be sure to post it as an announcement here.

I'm just curious, how dose one create an app for a website without an API? :D 
But this is great news, I'd love to get my hands on an app for Tom's Hardware :)  Notifications right in the bar instead of waiting for these longed emails -_- An Chrome on my Android tablet doesn't appear to like AJAX either so it's full webpage loads for me! I'm even using the Beta too :/  A bit grim, but Chrome's improved since I first started using it :)

Chrome on my Nexus 10 seemed to work fine on the forums, though I didn't really use it.

Doing stuff without an API is possible, but requires a pile of reverse engineering and tends to get screwed up any time the site changes something.
