Birdforum App (1 Viewer)

I’m seeing that I can download the Birdforum App. Has anyone done it? Any views as to its worth?

The "app" is just a wrapper that your browser puts around a suitably configured website. The site will look the same but without the extraneous toolbars and sidebars of your browser. It makes for a cleaner viewing experience but it can make it harder to cut and paste between pages, especially pages within BirdForum.

I have the app version on my phone because it increases the viewable area, but I use the browser version on my desktop because screen real estate isn't a problem there.

I view mostly on my phone and tablet, very rarely on my laptop, my view is perfectly fine as is, so I probably won’t go for the wrAPPer version. Thanks for explaining it.

But you might find it finer still with the app. Until you try it, you'll never know.
