App summary

Forum Fiend is the best way to stay in touch with your online discussion forums while on the go! Features include:

Add all of your favorite forums and sites under one easy to use app!

Forum theme customization: Forum Fiend allows users to customize the theme color of the app on a per-forum basis. Give each forum you subscribe to its own look and feel! Forum owners can also provide default theme settings for their forums by saving a small .json file to their forum server. See https://www.ape-apps.com/viewpage.php?p=forum-fiend for more information.

Forum chat: Forum Fiend also allows forum owners to turn designated topics on their system into a pseudo chat room, increasing user engagement and activity for their communities. Users can set any topic they choose as a chat thread by long pressing on the topic in the app. Forum owners can also set this up automatically by saving a small .json file to their forum server. See https://www.ape-apps.com/viewpage.php?p=forum-fiend for more information.

Feature complete experience for all users: Out of the box, Forum Fiend is feature complete. There is an option to remove advertising for a very small annual fee, but doing so does not unlock any additional features. We will never sell you a fully featured app, only to downgrade it in the future and replace it with another paid version. We are not scum like that.

Clean interface: Forum Fiend features a straight forward navigation structure that actually makes sense for a forum. The focus is on the forum content, not making you hunt and peck around a confusing menu structure.

So close...I can log in and read on the forum I use, but there's no way of replying nor settings to show "unread", "all" etc. The forum is ancient to be fair. Such a shame as it's miles quicker than the opposition offering

Works better and simpler than Tapatalk. No junk messages and ads can be removed for very little $'s.

It would be 5 ⭐ except that when I switch to another app, & back it gives an error message that it can't load the page.
