Android 2.3.4 (Nexus S): The home page FORUMS (dropdown) button leads to a black and white "Select Content Type - Forums" screen, but tapping "Forums" does nothing. 
However, the Forums link on the Menu list works OK.
Now I can Prune on the turnaround! Excellent! Thanks very much.

The iOS app does not seem to store bookmarks on threads I've already been reading on...both after reading the threads on my phone and/or on the web. Other than that, pretty nice.

Very nice, thanks. To make it easier for less pc literate ppruners to find the iphone app why not mention in your announcement that for iphone or ipad just go to the App Store. Under "search", all you need to type is ppru and up comes the App. Cheers.

Tinstaafl wanted to know why this app needs/have access to phone state & identity and location, so do I. It would also be interesting to know why it needs/have access to the camera and SD card?
This application has access to the following:

PPRuNe iPhone app
First post. Woohoo!
Thanks folks.
FWIW it is better on iPhone than iPad as it is not customised for the larger screen so the web browser works better.
