.....The basic interface of the FlyerTalk iPhone app is not wholly horrible, but there are a few minor bugs that unfortunately make it impossible for me to use it with my browsing habits. Therefore, I haven't opened the app in several months and have little to say about it, other than that while I appreciate the folks at IB who bring us FT and I know they are doing the best they can with the resources they are given, stepping back a bit, I am a little underwhelmed at IB's responsiveness to address some of these (and other) issues......

I agree and my main "issue" is that there is no "sync" between the browser version of FT and the mobile app and no option to view first unread post in a thread (or even have the app default to viewing the first unread post) and it is a royal pita to scroll the numbers to get to the page of a thread where you want to see the first unread post.
Busy in real life--let me get back to you on that in a bit.

And then to be greedy, I'd love to see the option of being able to log in to F/t with the e-mail one has on file with f/t for Talkmail, thread updates and member messages as for me, using various iPhone apps which do allow signing in with an e-mail address, it's a simple copy once and paste many option which I find quite useful
