Default How to link ToTV app to iphone?

.

I don't think there is a TOTV app. I just have the website bookmarked in my phone's browser.

BINGO! This is the correct answer.

gee, thanks. But I find this odd. Wonder why there is no app? Is there a cost or a negative for not having one... hmmm. Moderators...

What would be the advantage all you are doing is going to a website, essentially your "app" is what ever browser you are using.

Gee, I dunno. Maybe the site doesn't generate enough revenue to justify paying someone to develop an app that will just mimic a website.

It’s just a forum. No app required. It would be overkill.

What I am not sure to navigate about TOTV is I get it as an email when I click on the forum I want to read it opens a page in safari. So I have to go back and forth. Closing a page going back to email opening a new page because new forum dosnt come up on old safari page. Is there an easier way to read one right after another? Instead of going back and forth on your phone.

Why not just login into the site and read the new posts no going back and forth. I did not sign up for new post emails, just notices if i get private messages, and this works very well for me. I can read what a want and ignore the rest.

I access it from my phone using a web browser. There is no app needed.

I find that to be true with most apps. They don't really do much that you can't do by going directly to a website. It sounds cool though to have an app.
