This is coming in the next update.

New version has been submitted, expect it very shortly. Refresh button is there, as stated above. New forums button to open forums in a browser card. Text no longer justified, due to popular demand. I kinda liked it, but whatever.

last update is great access to forums are sweet.

we need a search function and access to homebrews. Will pay for this app at this point!

Great job!

coolguyslim · 07/16/2010, 07:05 PM

I like the app;however, I don't see myself using it because I have newsroom. With newsroom they have notifications for when new articles are posted. If you could implement this feature, that would be great!

jdforsythe · 07/17/2010, 11:26 AM

I'm working on the homebrew feed now.

jdforsythe · 07/17/2010, 11:27 AM

What do you want to be able to search? The articles?

Articles or by user name would be good.

jjeffcoat · 07/23/2010, 03:25 PM

I like the link to the mobile forums! Would it be possible to add a link to the mobile version of precentral.net main page somewhere near the top of the app also?

Doc31 · 07/29/2010, 12:31 PM

Hey jdforsythe PM me

GranPaSmurf · 08/16/2010, 10:23 AM

Neat little app. I can tap in once a day or so & stay up to date.

praleig · 08/20/2010, 02:26 PM

This app has gotten me so addicted to precentral and all of the news going on with the pre and HP. Keep up the good work!

hello, I have made my own Precentral app, please, check this link ... : http://forums.precentral.net/homebre...ntral-app.html

It looks like there is a total of 3 different "unofficial" PreCentral apps now:

http://www.precentral.net/app-galler...ral-unofficial

http://forums.precentral.net/homebre...ntral-app.html

http://www.precentral.net/homebrew-a...precentral-app

Seems it would be nice if they would collaborate and combine the best features of each of them into an "Official" PreCentral app!!

The 3rd is just a Launcher bookmark for mobile p|c site, which I already did from browser. 2nd is new, and i must say, gorgeous, i really like it a lot. JDF did great with his app, but this just leap frogs over it. It is really well done, allows comments and has a slick interface.

There are some things I like better about the JDF app though. I really like the compressed view of the main page where when you tap on a story it expands out right there to show the entire story. Only problem is that it does not show who the author of the story is, and I like to know that for some silly reason.

It's also kind of nice to see the prominent link for the most recent Palmcast, too. Although for me it's more of a cosmetic thing since I subscribe to the Palmcast and listen to it with drPodder.

I've been running the JDF app and the boucles0 app side-by-side some to compare, and find that I'm ending up using the boucles0 version much more these days because it's so much more comprehensive. But they're both good apps.

I will remind you all that my app is open source, so you can play with it to your heart's content. I have too many other obligations at the moment to keep working on this free app, so I've halted development indefinitely.

sledge007 · 03/14/2011, 12:45 PM

Does anyone know why the images in the news stories cover up the whole story so you can't read the story? This happened in webOS v1.4.5 as well as 2.1

sledge007 · 03/16/2011, 09:33 PM

Bump-dee-bump-bump

Is this just me or do others have this issue?
