What would be the advantage for such an App except the appropriate visualization on Smartphone-displays?

WWW = World Wide Web - Open, fast, easy, free to everyone
HTML = Hypertext Markup Language - open web tagging fast and easy, no boundaries
APPs are NOT open, they are under control of Google / Apple.
I have been supporting www since I first got my Mosaic browser some time early 1990's, may be it was 1991. Since then I have supported open protocols, like http, and html. I don't have time or money to develop and maintain app's. They are typically commercial. IORR is not commercial. IORR is completely open, no proprietary code, you may read IORR with any browser any PC any mobile. You do not need to be in the pocket of a mobile or PC or OS supplier.

My IORR mobile experience got really good since my phone is showing a mobile version of the website. That happened some months ago. Before it was only displaying the original desktop view which always required a lot of zooming and scrolling.

More work for bv, who did it once and probably doesn't ever want to do it again. See here for the whole 70-page saga...

The IORR editorial pages are scaling dynamic on any device including mobile. The forum solution is old and not really made for mobile, but I have not found any better solutions without advertisements. If I change then you would have to use "old forum" and "new forum", they would be incompatible, and I would not know if the new forum would be available for one two or five years.
IORR have been online for 25 years, all data are still available, editorial, an app would have a lifetime of just a few years, until new technology makes it obsolete. Companies with big money may replace app's (and loose old data) every few years, they can afford it, but somebody have to pay for it. Normally they have a product to sell, like concert tickets, set list posters, T-shirts, records or similar. IORR do not have any income to pay for development.

The only change I would suggest would be to add a GoFundMe donation button for those who want to kick in a few Euros, Dollars, Pounds or Bitcoin to cover any incremental costs you have
