About Whirldroid - Whirlpool Forums

Whirldroid is an unofficial app for the Whirlpool Australian broadband site. Whirldroid allows you to easily view Whirlpool industry news articles, read your whim private messages, browse popular topics, keep up with your watched and recent threads, plus the ability to browse threads in all forums and view thread replies. There's also notifications for new whims or replies to watched threads.

If you have any bug reports, suggestions, feature requests or criticism, please send them through to greg@gregdev.com.au. Be kind; this is my first attempt at an Android app.

* Note: this app uses the Whirlpool API to download data. You must have a user account with Whirlpool to use Whirldroid.

Please let me know if there are any features you're particularly interested in, and I'll do my best to prioritise them.

Been using this for awhile and originally frustrated that you force bruiser use to reply. Then I found out it's because whirlpool API doesn't allow write. So bonus point for at least creating a work around. Unfortunately I can't give you six stars. :)

Excellent app for accessing whirlpool, shame theres no way to post to the forums directly. Latest version needs to be force stopped too often as it stops updating both automatically and manually.

Just re-installed it after giving the competition a go. The new look and feel of the app is a massive improvement. Makes surfing WP very easy. Thanks.

Good, but the lack of spoiler tag support means it's not as useful as it could be. Hopefully this can be added soon.

you're a huge benefit to community. i've been on whirlpool for 10+ years now, and have been using this app since mid 2013, it's so easy to view forums, no matter whether its a tablet or even my old mobile. if only other forums i often visit had a similar app! you've set a very high standard - that others only dream of reaching. Top effort :)

I can't figure out how to reply on a th read? Navigation is clunky. Had to go back to browser version

A70%
by A####:

Just updated to Android 6.0 on a Nexus 5 and the colours of the drop down screen for page numbers to navigate a thread have changed to black on dark grey. Very hard to read.

excellent reader for whirlpool.

U70%
by U####:

Brilliant application for looking at content on Whirlpool. One thing I'd love to see on the Industry News Page is a sub-heading showing the website name just below the heading to assist with judging on whether or not to click on the URL. Thank you for this app.

Nice app

Really like the redesign.

M70%
by M####:

Excellent app, which provides all the functionality of Whirlpool that I need when on the go. It's very quick and responsive, allows searching of threads, checking watched threads, general browsing of forums, etc. The developer is also active on Whirlpool (funny about that!), happily responding to queries about this app and implementing fixes / suggestions. All for free. What more could you ask for?

U70%
by U####:

Excellent app, much better than the older version, only gripe is when you minimise the app, then reopen a couple minutes later, it reopens with dark theme, need to shut down, then reopen

Z70%
by Z####:

The new interface works OK on phones but does not scale well on a tablet. I have reverted to the earlier version for my Nexus 7. Perhaps the author could consider separate interfaces for phones and tablets.

U70%
by U####:

The previous update was causing the app to crash but the dev acknowledged and fixed it within an hour or two. Amazing!

Enjoying your app muchly....ty :) no ads!
