Well kinda think the app needs to be mangofied. Multitasking support, quick app resume, more stability and speed, theme options, plenty. Just thought I'd make this thread to gain traction so post ur support.
Seems like support is dead so would XDA allow some members to work on this app. I'm pretty sure plenty of mems would like to do this and it shows great community support.

I also agree that the xda wp7 app needs updating. The post edit feature doesn't work well on my samsuung focus.

The Android Premium version recieved an update not too long ago, so there's still hope. There are some things that should be improved:
- 16 Bit banding, which is said to be app related rather than OS related (though I doubt that).
- editting a post never works flawlessly, since you can't really scroll down to the bottom of the message box. Happens in larger quoted messages as well.
- scrolling should definitely be improved a lot. I've rarely seen apps with such horrible laggy scrolling.

XDA didn't develop the App, it's basically a stripped down version of Board Express, IIRC, just like the Android app is a Stripped Down Version of TapaTalk. You can pay to have them produce a customized version just for your forum.
And yes, that app is terrible. A ton of paid apps are basically unsupported these days, I guess since the Developers made a good chunk of cash and don't feel hte need to devote anymore of their free time to it.
Birdsong is another example. Literally unsupported right now.
Should start a Sticky Thread for apps that have fallen out of support to tell people to avoid them, IMO. Can't support your app, you don't deserve good word of mouth, IMO.
Yeah, WP7 badly needs a proper Tapatalk-style app. Board Express is awful and the developer has gone AWOL.
If I remember correctly, I did see something on the Board Express website about reskinning/rebranding costing $999 or so. I could be remembering it wrong, and the info is no longer on the website...but damn. If a few gullible fools did that, no wonder the guy has disappeared. Talk about making a fast buck.
I totally support the idea of a thread for abandoned apps...given that the quality of reviewers on the Marketplace is fairly low it's often hard to tell whether an app is any good, especially if the trial is heavily stripped down or doesn't even exist.
YEA ABANDONED THREAD WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA. aLSO $999 THOSE BASTARDS.

Unfortunately is has received only one update so far. The "parent" app Board Express has received a few more updates recently. Full Mango support, Thanks button etc. I hope the XDA app will be updated as well, since the developer of both apps is the same.

I much love the Fast XDA app, however for now it's limited as 'read-only' but the read-only is well presented, neat and fast - Love that app, am following it's updates etc, hope the dev would be generous enough to add few more functions and make and read&write.

The APP has a big advantage over the website, Participated Threads. Makes it a lot easier to track threads without subscribing to them.
Rocking place, has really come a long way in a short time.

I just wish the Android Market allowed you to "subscribe" to a developer and get an email when something new is uploaded. Niche feature, but I think it would be fairly useful.

It will be a totally new app that will cost money, but not much.
Speaking of this great app (vs. The web site) is there a reason that when following links to other XDA thread posts from the XDA app sometimes the new thread opens in the app and sometimes it opens in a browser?
Just curious...

Android Experience.
I love the app, am a big user. Hate the force closes that come with it. E.G. if you receive a phone call or press home while in the app and do something else for awhile, when you go back in it usually results in a force close.
One other thing I've noticed, on HTC phones, Sense roms (2.2+) actually correctly upload pictures in the XDA app. AOSP roms almost never upload it correctly, even though the file format is correct. Kinda sucks.
I definitely love the Participated Threads functionality, however.

Just downloaded, and now whenever I open a thread it opens on the first page!
Edit: now last page.
I know there's a paid version which includes options for which page to open on as default. But to me it's not cool to take this functionality away from the free users or at least don't downgrade our experience with this I assume vastly unpopular default.
Edit: last page is definitely an improvement over first but why take away this feature from free users? To me this just says you can't come up with enough new features to sell your product to paying customers.
Needless to say I'm installing and restoring a backup of the old version.
Edit: yep, I'm still rolled back.
Also the market won't open your page for me to lower my 5 stars, but when it does *shakes fist*
Edit: the page opened, & I lowered my rating.

I don't recommend you even ask someone to PM you the .apk, since it could still be considered requesting wares which would earn you an infraction.
