This may be a repost but I would really like to see a newschoolers app show up on App Store, android market, or blackberry app world.

It may be just be but I dont like to open my browser on my phone during school to check my NS when I could just open an app.

no hate please just opinions.

There was an iphone app, but the thing has problems

consensus was just to use the mobile site which works much better

Don't have iPhone, but It's just a hassle to access the mobile site from my blackberry during class. 1) because blackberrys are gay 2)blackberrys are mad slow

But thats Just me.

I bought the app, and I really like it. Although you can only view the first page of a thread. If they fixed that it would pass for me.

Actually I find NSMobile works great on my blackberry. The time and money it would take us to build apps for all the different kinds of devices really doesn't get us further ahead when we have one site that works on them all

Tip: You can put a favourite link to NS on your home screen for fast access

Its clearly just my blackberry thats slow on newschoolers, I just thought I'd look badass with a newschoolers app on my homebar, I'll check out the one for iphone though.

I have the app for iPhone, but it's fucked up. it's all glitchy and it really misses some of the key things I like to do on NS. The mobile site is so much better.

I have the app but prefer the mobile site because on the app pics dont always load and it crashes alot for me. Mobile is faster and works on any mobile device.

What I did was save my profile page to my bookmarks, then made a shortcut right next to the youtube facebook and browser apps on my droid. Looks just like a NS app should, even has a little NS logo as the pic.

However, the mobile site sucks. typing is terrible, you can't press enter, and its impossible to put your cursor back at the end of your writing if your go back to fix something. Or at least I havent figured it out.
