There won't be an app, as there's a new mobile site coming next year.

It doesn't make sense to develop a specific app for all the phones out there. There's a lot you can do for mobile sites these days and that's the direction we'll be heading.

Oops sorry! I just would like push notifications of threads I like etc. Apps are pretty easy to throw together and might just be another advertising revenue stream for PH

Feel free.
I'd me more than happy to test and use your free app.

Would love to help with the app development. I am a designer rather than a developer sadly

It is an interesting advantage for an app that I hadn't considered. Still, doubt we'll go the direction of an app (though it's not my decision to make).

Have a look at TapaTalk app.

I think avforums use it.

AVForums can do that because they use vBulletin and can install it (more or less) at the click of a button. We run our own custom code and wouldn't be as straightforward of an implementation.
