This looming upgrade

Should take it to the next level. Epstein level stuff, in fact.

Might actually use it now... was pretty useless before.

Clean, but useless.

I'm always torn when websites release apps.

Why not just make a bomber mobile version of your site instead? More apps = more clutter. I downloaded the SB Nation app a while ago and have opened it once since. The app may be great, but it’s much easier (at least for me) just to pop over to BCB in Safari.

Just my $.02.

Yeah, I haven't used it on my ipad since I downloaded it

If they make it to where you can mark off the read comments then that would make me check it out again. Also, interesting that they already have an upgrade for iphone but the android app is not due until December.

Agreed.

Mobile website is lighter and easier. For a company that’s trying to compete with the likes of ESPN and SI, they are really, really slow on this front.

Same here

Downloaded the first version, got frustrated and failed to see any improvement or added capability over the mobile website and immediately deleted it.

Unless I hear some great things about the app, I’m not going to bother downloading it again.

Watch the video.

I think you’ll be impressed with the changes.

Much improved, but not there yet...

If the Cubs still have a chance, no matter how small, it’s still Go Cubs, damn the math and pass the KoolAid.

IPad version seriously needed
