Seems mostly like a web-based interface, but it's less buggy than using mobile Chrome for me. Often times I have issues scrolling or using the panel on the left when using mobile Chrome.
I'm liking that I can add a photo from my phone which didn't really seem to work before.
It isn't necessarily a full app but rather it seems to be a port of the mobile site into an app but it seems to function better than the mobile site on mobile chrome on my iPhone.
The scrolling is a little buggy and hitting the status bar should scroll you to the too like most iPhone apps but it doesn't seem to.
Thoughts?

SFC Jones,
Glad you are enjoying the experience! We released a mobile web friendly version of the site in November, but we realize a full app would be preferred. It's on our roadmap for development, but we can't give a timeline yet. We release improvements to the site, in general, every week. An app though is a very extensive project because we don't like doing anything half way at RallyPoint.
We are always looking for top technical talent. If there are any iOS or Android developers within the community, they should contact us for sure.

Sandy, there is no RallyPoint app in the App Store. There may be other apps using similar names.
You can certainly still use RallyPoint on your iPhone… just login as you normally would at http://www.rallypoint.com through your browser. It will have to hold you over until the app is ready!

Hi Yinon. Well that was very confusing. There is an application in the Apple iTunes store. But, now that I look more carefully, application has nothing to do with the RallyPoint website. This is purely an application for setting up ad hoc meetings with friends. Thank you so much for clearing this up!!! Otherwise I might have wasted even more time trying to login using the wrong application ;)

Is there an android app coming out in the near future? I am hoping that it will be here soon. My phone doesn't play nice with the mobile web page.

CPT (Join to see) Yes... it's in the works. We'll just need a little patience on this one.

Looking for a 'Rallypoint app' was the first thing I did after joining on here.

I'm sure they will eventually...wouldn't want to roll out just 'any' app, but an app that rivals other more prominent social media sites. ;)

I concur completely MSG! I love my apps, and with today's generation of younger technology loving Service members, I think we could reach more people with a well thought out, well executed app!

Gents, thanks for the question on the app -- to clarify, we (RallyPoint) are already hard at work to make you an app that will be even more powerful than this site already is! I promise you that when it is ready, you will know immediately! :-)

This is another reason why RallyPoint will succeed...they're never too busy to personally respond to its users.

While better than nothing, I feel like the rallypoint app is woefully inadequate.
It is cumbersome and unintuitive.
Website is great though...I wait until I get to a PC to check in.
