    Yes. I'm sure there are a number of apps out there that do it, but you can just type the web address in to your internet browser.

    Just use your browser. I have it on mobile skin just for speed, you can view the usual skin but the pages take slightly longer to load.

    I use ForumRunner, I think it's free to download and available on any android, I find it easy to use too
