Is there an App?

Viewing this site on my phone it seems like I am constantly zooming in and out to read posts or view pictures.

A lot of websites have corresponding apps these days.

This forum is based on a PHP BB template.
I was wondering if there was a corresponding app for the PHP template?

There is a mobile framework for vBulletin 5.2.0, that would be cool to have.

Making the site responsive / mobile first would allow users to use their mobile or tablet devices, you can then work off that to make an app version.

You hit the nail on the head with 'responsive' - that is more along the lines of what I meant, rather than an app. A site which detected or gave you the option about which layout you wanted.

So, if I were to mock something up as a site, would anyone be interested?

Ah ok, I may be already telling you stuff that you know, sorry if that is the case.

You probably don't want to detect the device the user is using or give them an option to switch between default or mobile, let the site respond to the screen width and reactive to it. Detecting a type of device such as android or IOS can lead to problems, best to make the site fluid and responsive using CSS to achieve this.

Resize your browser in this link to see the website respond to screen width http://themes.getbootstrap.com/preview/?theme_id=1474&show_new=

All that's needed for this site is new CSS, the backend is sorted, the frontend just needs an update, this is easier said than done but with a bit of time it can be achieved. A good responsive CSS framework that uses media breakpoints will solve the problem. https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/media-queries-for-standard-devices/

I would like to see a mock up, it would be great to share development ideas. :)
