Here is my proposal;
With the smartphone and tablet craze, it would only make sense. It would only make sense to have a EB app.
- You could use the camera on your device and upload it directly to brickshelf or eurobricks.
-There could be photo editing and enhancing tools to improve the number of reviews.
-You could know when somebody replies to your post wither you are home or not.
- You can view reviews at the store as you are at the store decideing on which set to get when on a budget.
Those are just some of the possibilities that could be acheived. Proboards offers a app forum but it isn't the best out there because it costs 2.99 USD. There are more ways to do this though.

This has been discussed before, I see your direct question is a bit different, but I think the feeling is the same.

Chance of a custom EB app; 1%. It would be too much work to create and then maintain it and then just give it away.
Chance of us supporting the official IPS iOS app when we upgrade the board next? 70%. But don't expect a time frame. Upgrading the board and all of the skins is a lot of work...
So in short, this poll is superfluous. The features will be as Invision provide and we'll implement it when we get around to it.

I personally feel that the normal format of EB works fine for me on my iTouch, my only issue is adding smilies and other special BBCode elements. Although, I've actually figured out the coding for what I use most, so that isn't so much of an issue anymore.

i voted maybe because i guess it all comes down to costs.
the 3 sites i regularly use are avforums, hotukdeals & thedibb
avforums is on tapatalk but i dont use it as there's hardly any sites i nkow who do so why pay for it? however avforums does have its own iOS/android app which i use all the time!
hotukdeals is avaliable on few apps but they are rubbish. however there is a mobile version of their site but its far far to basic for me & i just stick to browsing the regular site.
thedibb has, what i believe, the best solution for this site. there's no app, just a choice of styles. right at the bottom of their forums theres a drop down menu for dibb - regular website, "mobile - wap style site, iphone - basic website view.
for me the iphone style is THE option you should go for on here! its still a website but its far easier to navigate & would just do the same as an app. just try it, goto www.thedibb.co.uk/forums then choose iphone (its just called that for a style name! still works perfect on any mobile/ipod touch)

I would use a EB iOS app, but I don't see a huge need for it. You can browse EB pretty easily on the Safari app that comes installed on Apple devices. I'm on an iPod touch right now, and it's working no problem! So I wouldn't worry too much about making an app.

I'm sorry. I actually don't think of an app to do other things rather than browsing the site, so my bad for not specifying. I'm often on my ipod touch browsing the forum, and posting is a pain since the screen is way too big, and browsing the forum is harder for the same reasons.I'll admit, though, that I wouldn't use it more often than the PC site.

I'm fine with a a tablet and smartphone app, but it seriously annoys me that you're proposing it for iOS only. Android should get as much priority. For the past few days, I've been using Eurobricks alot on my Motorola Xoom tablet, which uses Android Honeycomb. It wasn't that bad, but a bit hard to click around. Please don't make it exclusive to Apple users.

I actually use an app for the forum Toonzone, and I've recently been posting here on my phone frequently. I would really love to see a Eurobricks app, even if it is part of a select forum viewing app...

I don't know if this means anything or not, but a lot of times, on my Apple devices, EB takes a while to load. Sometimes it's fast, sometimes it doesn't load at all, but other websites do.
I don't quite know what that meant.
