    Hi Jordan,

    Love the app, makes for good night time reading before bed. I downloaded the app for my i-pod quit a while back and it always crash’s after about 3-5 mins of browsing different threads, always forced to re-open & search all over again for the thread I was reading. Any update comming out to sort out any bugs that it may/may not have?

    I got this for my iPhone a few days ago when the site gave me a notification, and it’s a million times easier to use the forums than it is using Safari.

    I’ve been using this app for a while now and I can’t express how much better it is for the forums than using the browser on my iPhone 4. Great work! Highly recommend this app for any GTP Forum members with a compatable phone.

    So this is just an app with a built in RSS feed… I can access this site on my iPhone, iPad and via the multitude of RSS feed readers I have. What does this app do that is BETTER than the actual site?

      The app is a lot more than just the news blog, its primary functionality provides easy interaction with the forums, as the post explains above (there’s no RSS involved here, by the way). Download it and try it out, it’s free…

    As a side-note: This is when I got the e-mail notification to this news story-

    First reply I see in comment:

    So why does it take 20+ hours to get e-mail notifications about news stories on GTPlanet?

    This has nothing to do with this particular story, but I might as well cancel e-mail update notifications. I could literally get them faster if I put it in a United States Postal service mailbox snail-mail and lived close by.

    It’s been this way since e-mail update notification on GTPlanet news stories was available. I’m getting them via G-Mail on a normal 20mb/sec premium RR.com broadband connection. Anyway… just reporting that.

      Email digests of the blog content are sent once every 24 hours. The service is powered by Google’s FeedBurner.

      Well at least I know why now. Thanks for the answer. Wish there was some way to get faster updates though.

    This app is just too brilliant! The only related thing i can ask for is better photo support, because although there is some kind of button i hit yesterday that cleverly showed me all tge pics on a page, finding it didnt actually make much sense…

    Good work on the android app, I browse the site a lot on the move and this cuts the amount of data I’m using and is a lot easier to navigate with. Thanks Jordan.
