I'd be interested in getting this app but my tablet along with lots of others does not have market ( it's not a phone ), as this is a linux forum maybe you could post it to some of the other market replacements for android devices ie AndAppStore (http://andappstore.com), Slideme (http://slideme.org/), FDroid (http://f-droid.org/) these sites all have a client app that allows for update notifications ( manual or automatic )
Hi. I just installed the latest version from the market place. I was wondering... i couldn't seem to find a button at the home page, or elsewhere, that allows me to immediately view all my threads. My primary interest in the app is to be able to quickly check the status of forum threads which i have started.

from the actual app..
I'm replying here from this actual app and I have to say the only annoying thing about this app is the color choices. The off white stuff that was said before. Its an easy fix that would make this so much easier to use.

If you haven't downloaded the LQ Mobile app yet, visit https://market.android.com/details?i...etin.build_114 (or market://details?id=com.vbulletin.build_114 if you're browsing from your phone). The iOS app should be released in the very near future.

jeremy I'm sorry if I come off as whiny but seriously I can't read the text at all with the white on light gray background. Please provide a way for us to contribute, options to change the colors, or just change the colors to contrast a little more.

Update: I just uploaded a new version of the native Android LQ Mobile app to the marketplace. This version removes ads and should be more stable. We're hoping to release a native iOS app in the very near future. Your continued feedback is appreciated.

For those of you using the Android app, or just those interested in the Android Ecosystem, I've just published some Android Version and Device Stats for the LQ Native App (along with some "Is Fragmentation an Issue?" commentary) on my LQ blog:
Awesome! Thanks a lot for this. Running it on Android 2.2, and works fine. Not sure if it's been reported earlier, but I occasionally get "Unknown Error. Error code invalid_api_signature". It's when I first start up the app after login.

A new version of the LQ Mobile android app has been uploaded to Google play. This should address a few more of the issues some members were having. This is also the version we'll attempt to get into the Apple App Store.
thanks! it apears to work, but it always starts with about six errors that say the same thing: something about invalid_api_signature. but then it all works fine.
