Description by Mobile Nations(from Google Play)
Now updated to the latest Tapatalk back-end! If you have any questions, concerns or bugs, voice 'em here: http://goo.gl/Eg46m5
The easiest and best way to take part in the Android Forums at Android Central. Using the Tapatalk standard of mobile forum browsing, you can peruse forum threads, reply, start new threads, reply to PMs and do everything you expect from the best and friendliest Android forums around.
This app will ask your permission for some things when you install it. Here's what those permissions mean, in plain English:
Full Internet access: You'll need to have access to the Internet to view and reply in the forums. Makes sense.
Read phone state and identity: Google says this allows the app to know when a phone call is coming in. That way, the app can pause itself and let you answer the call. We're not using your identity for anything; these two permissions are bundled together.
Modify/delete USB and SD card contents: When you see a picture posted in the AC Forums via the app, it needs to store it on your internal storage or SD card. Again, makes sense.
Prevent device from sleeping: When a notification is received (you can set those up in the app settings), the app will need to wake the device up so it can deliver it. (Yeah, it sounds a little backward.)
Control vibrator: Needed for notifications, so you can have your phone or tablet vibrate. Sounds a little dirty, though.
View network state/Wifi state: Because the app requires you to have a network connection, it needs to be able to *know* that you have a network connection. If you don't, it will tell you.
Automatically start at boot: The app will notify you about private messages and replies to subscribed topics. Without this permission, you would need to restart the app yourself each time you restart your phone to continue to get notifications.
Hope that helps clear up those scary, scary permissions. :p

Comments on AC Forums App for Android™ for Android
★★★★★
Great app for Android Central Forums, but I would really prefer if this functionality was built into the main Android Central app. Seems less productive to have to maintain two apps that have a lot of the same functionality. The AC app isn't powerful enough on the forums side, so this app fixes that. Fix it in the main app would be much nicer.
★★★★★
I've been using this app for a number of months now where I've won two contests for writing, and it gives you the full abilities of the regular site but with much more ease to navigate through forum to forum. Even uploading pictures is easy. Great app with lots of features. Well done indeed.
★★☆☆☆
Still can't get the login credentials right. I use the same username and password as the website, and it doesn't log in. Actually it does nothing, no feedback about "wrong username or password". It spins then goes back to the login screen expecting you to figure out its problem. It is useful for reading forum posts but does not allow logging in for posting.
★★☆☆☆
I am unable to login through this app. I can browse and participate in the forums through Android Central app. Why does this app even exist?
★★☆☆☆
Can't log on. I can log in via chrome but then use app, and it can't log in. I reset my password via the app, login via chrome with new password but then still can't log in via the app. So annoying
★★☆☆☆
I kerp getting Notification of Threads Topics I have not Subscribed for I even OFF RECOMMENDATION in Other Notification still its it's happening Till we don't get an update to fix it a Bad App just a Battery Drainer 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
★★☆☆☆
Was a good app, but new update removed the blog portion and seems like it requires you to have Both AC apps in order to do what this one used to do on its own which sucks.
