    Well windows central has their official app, likewise crackberry imore Android Central etc. But both android and iPhone users have official apps for the other platforms, the same cant be said for Windows Phones. If Windows Central is encouraging and taking forward the windows platform they should have official apps for other platforms too, people at Mobile Nations felt necessary to make offcial apps for other platforms on both Android and iOs....why not for Windows Phone?
    Dont you people at Windows Central feel to take up this issue seriously?

    If I'm not mistaken only Google Play has apps for all Mobile Nations sites.

    I don't think Apple would even allow apps for Android or Windows fan sites in their Store.

    Well but MSFT doesn't have that kind of policy...forum users in that case can be provided a all in one universal app for windows phone and windows PC.
    Anyways just a suggestion though!

    The Windows Central app for Android is broken. That's why I'm using Tapatalk on an Android.

    Expanding our app portfolio is something we're very mindful of, but have to have the developer support to make these things happen. We appreciate the note (and concern) on your part, but I can assure you we're doing everything we can to 'share the love' of Windows across all platforms!

    In terms of our forums apps, we are at the mercy of our app partner (Tapatalk) at this point in time. At the moment they only produce builds of their apps in Android and iOS... If they output apps for Windows (and BlackBerry) we would be all over it and publish them immediately!

    What do you mean its broken? It works pretty well on my OnePlus One. Granted, I find the UI to be much better on WP, but it at least works.

    Well we hope with the coming of Windows 10, the rise of universal apps will be pretty much in implementation, maybe then our app partner might consider doing something about it...!

    I cannot log in to post anything on the forums or make any comments about the blogs using the Windows Central Android app. I'm able to log in and post/comment using any of the other sites' Android apps. Uninstalling/reinstalling doesn't help.It won't let me log in on my Moto X or my Nexus 7.

    For Android, there is a Windows Central app made by Mobile Nations, and a separate Windows Central forums app made by Mobile Nations. I'm using the forums app right now.

    And I'm making THIS post on the regular Windows Central app, which is quite good.

    *edit*

    I was bored.

    Is it because you're a moderator maybe?

    No, that is not the reason. Other mods are able to post using the app.

    (Wondered that as well). Since I use an android phone for work, I like to visit Android Central. Unfortunately, I can't find an Android Central app to use on my Windows Phone. Have to visit Android Central using IE.

    I don't use the Mobile Nations apps at all. I use only Tapatalk. I do that for 2 reasons:

    1. All the forums I frequent are in the same app. I'm on other forums besides Mobile Nations'.
    2. All forums are in the same format, or layout.
