You’ll get a pop-up on your screen … the program “pushes” info at you without you having to go get it. ---

Hmm. There used to be, but I guess not anymore (for iPhone, anyway). Don’t see a free version in the App Store anymore. ---

Nifty. Is there a way to see polls or is that still unsupported? Also is there a way to support SDMB ad revenue in the app? ---
