XDA (the app) is not much more than the entire XDA website, formatted for the viewing pleasure of all its loyal Android readers.<\/p>\n<p>All of the functionality of mobile formatting are all really there. Access to PMs, creating, reading, replying to forum topics, and main news are all very easy to get to, and back and forth from. Viewing images and adding posts to your favorites (by long holding on the thread and clicking subscribe) are easily my favorite reasons for this app.<\/p>\n<p>There have been some complaints about the slowness of the app and, not to say it&#8217;s blisteringly fast, but in my experience\u00a0I&#8217;ve\u00a0found it actually easier to get what I&#8217;m looking for within the app than from the full site. There are some formatting issues as far as tags in posts coming across in plain text in the app that wouldn&#8217;t have been seen from the full website.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Good<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Free<\/li>\n<li>Easy Access to XDA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Needs Improvement<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A few small  loading times in between jumps<\/li>\n<li>Minor post tag formatting troubles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><object width=\"520\" height=\"317\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/iHMLZurtcKk&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/iHMLZurtcKk&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"520\" height=\"317\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Verdict<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re a developer or  just somebody who frequents XDA enough to visit the site from your phone more than once, you&#8217;ll probably get some real use out of it. It&#8217;s a neat little way to keep tabs on your favorite developers and projects. Knowing XDA I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s going to be several updates to the app itself and hopefully work out some of the current kinks to the system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Developer&#8217;s Webpage<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/\" >http:\/\/www.xda-developers.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/reviews\/xda-mobile-app-developer-forums-on-the-go\/attachment\/screencap1\/' title='ScreenCap1'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/ScreenCap1-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"ScreenCap1\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/reviews\/xda-mobile-app-developer-forums-on-the-go\/attachment\/screencap2\/' title='ScreenCap2'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/ScreenCap2-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"ScreenCap2\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/reviews\/xda-mobile-app-developer-forums-on-the-go\/attachment\/screencap3\/' title='ScreenCap3'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/ScreenCap3-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"ScreenCap3\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/reviews\/xda-mobile-app-developer-forums-on-the-go\/attachment\/screencap4\/' title='ScreenCap4'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/ScreenCap4-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"ScreenCap4\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> This review was submitted by Max Whittingham as part of our <a href=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/news\/android-app-review-contest-week-1-recap\/\">app review contest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3  class=\"related_post_title\">Related Posts<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"related_post\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/reviews\/discovery-channel-app-great-clips-for-your-small-screen\/\" title=\"Discovery Channel App &#8211; Great clips for your &#8220;small screen&#8221;\">Discovery Channel App &#8211; Great clips for your &#8220;small screen&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/reviews\/smart-keyboard-pro-the-missing-pieces-of-the-stock-keyboard\/\" title=\"Smart Keyboard Pro: The Missing Pieces of the Stock Keyboard\">Smart Keyboard Pro: The Missing Pieces of the Stock Keyboard<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/reviews\/sms-backup-save-your-text-messages-in-gmail-clean-out-your-inbox\/\" title=\"SMS Backup: Save your text messages in Gmail, clean out your inbox!\">SMS Backup: Save your text messages in Gmail, clean out your inbox!<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/reviews\/toshl-keep-your-expenses-controlled\/\" title=\"Toshl: Keep your expenses controlled\">Toshl: Keep your expenses controlled<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/reviews\/advanced-task-manager-the-advanced-solution-for-task-management\/\" title=\"Advanced Task Manager: The Advanced Solution for Task Management\">Advanced Task Manager: The Advanced Solution for Task Management<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure if you&#8217;ve been around the Android scene long enough, you&#8217;ve seen some mention of the website called &#8220;XDA-Developers.&#8221; While there are now several\u00a0forums\u00a0for Android development, XDA seems to maintain its position as the forerunner.
