    I think I paid $1.99 for the android version. It's very good. Suprisingly, there is a slight learning curve to figure out how to get to the next sometimes. Reload needs to be used liberally as sometimes even though you refreshed the list, the thread needs to be reloaded too. Also, probably a good idea to go into options and have it do 50 posts per page - just makes it easier to get through a thread. So far, this is the only paid app on my phone and I really like it. It's two bucks - if you have to worry about two bucks, you probably shouldn't have bought a smart phone :)

    Looks like it has some kinks to work out. Razor is misspelled and looks like Caps Lock gets stuck intermittantly.

    It's $3.

    You wasted $3 of your time writing that post.

    The kids won't starve if you buy it and don't like it, so go for it. I don't read much with it and I never post with it, but I do give the menu page a quick look before I jump in the car in the morning.

    Sounds good.

    An honest to God truth - Cheerios are my favorite food. I had them for breakfast and dinner today.

    There is a generation of people that have never paid for software/apps /music at any price. Probably not 99, but it pains them to purchase something and furthermore they feel they are rightly justified.

    The dam add comes up every time I post. I may pay just to make it stop. Wondered how functional it is

    I'm ambivalent on the whole paying for app thing.

    If someone wants to give me something for free, it's their choice. I know by now to expect a bunch of pop up ads and crap that goes with it.

    As Fishy said- for $3 who cares. You spend that much on a Starbuck's coffee and that money is literally pisssedd away in two hours (although the fat calories last a lifetime).

    The ones that get me are the $20 and above apps that don't give any sort of free trial or money back guaranteee. For example, I'm not spending $35 on a golf GPS app that I can't check out first to see how it works on real golf courses.

    Its only highlighting the greatness of the hardware used to produce the message.

    It's about 80 times more functional than using a mobile browser to read the board - it's not even close.

    I like it because I can glance at it, see what's changed, see if anyone has taken leave of their senses and disagreed with me and then get back out of it in a few seconds.

    I've had it for other forums when it first came out and I thought it was a miserable piece of cobbled up junk, but it works very well here now.
