Woah… I just saw that YOU posted the app! You’re such a badass, Josh.

That said, if my Incredible force closes, I will break you.

It was all thanks to CapHill. She donated the developer costs.

I hope somebody’s working on this for iPhone, or I’ll have to file a discrimination suit.

iphone doesn’t already have a PtR app? Huh. Interesting. Well, I’m sure there’s someone you can call about that. If you get service, of course.

I think Wayne got rid of it because you can get online and participate via the iphone and just use PtR that way. It would be cool to get updates though…

I don’t own a mac, and apple has not released a windows SDK to work with. Sorry iOS guys/gals :(

I was hoping the app would also let us read and post comments. I always wanted to be apart of the game thread magic around here but I absolutely hate commenting from the mobile site. Other than that, it looks great and I got a little too happy when the PTR icon appeared on my apps list.

Unfortunately, I don’t have access to SBN’s API to make this possible. For now, this is the way we’ve gotta go.

That happened to me too on the first try. Don’t think I did anything different but it was fixed on the second view. I’m also using the Incredible.

oh, that wasn’t a criticism CD. its more a commentary on my phone (htc desire) – despite being at the pointy end of the android spectrum, i continually bump against the internal storage limit, despite app2sd-ing every app i can, and periodically culling apps altogether. i’m seriously considering upgrading it despite it only being a year old (though waiting for the next round of new handsets before i do).

No no, I understand. I didn’t take it as criticism. I really appreciate any kind of feedback. If I accepted CapHill’s contribution, I’m going to make this app the best I can for you guys/gals
