Is there a phone app for RPR? Even I have started to use the phone more things.
To be honest I don't know, but that would be a good idea.
It could be very useful for me, too. Imagine having NATIVE support for the RPR, and being able to receive notifications from it.
I bet it’ll be hard, but worth the effort.

Nope! Unfortunately we don't have a staff. It's just me, who creates and maintains all the site features and a team of volunteer moderators.

It's hard enough for one person to create and maintain a site of this size when there's just one version, but to create and maintain 2-3 different app versions (android, apple, windows metro phones) is just not possible right now.

However, I do work to make the site as mobile friendly as possible, and the specific features that people might want out of an app are being methodically added to the main site. Here's a pretty good list of some of the main things that have been added, and some tips on how to get the feature you want incorporated: http://www.rprepository.com/community/newspost.php?post=477

Here's a few forum topics where this suggestion is discussed, also:

I'm not sure if this works on all phones, but on my Android phone I can save a webpage to my home screen so it functions-- if you're able to do so, you can find in the options for the page "add to home screen" or something like that. Saves the time of searching it on the web. I know it's not exactly an app still but a helpful thingy.
I can confirm that works on iOS as well. It is possible to save bookmarks to the Home Screens.
There’s that~

Thanks for the info that everyone have.
I can imagine how hard it is to keep a server going and keep a RL of activities going. Thanks to Kim's dedication, we have a place to express ourselves freely.
