Hello there!
I've made an Android app to browse this site. With that I mean posts and pools.
A favourite feature of mine is going through the pages within a pool, you can navigate by 1, 10 or 100 pages back and forth.
Abilities
Posts
- Search for the most popular posts within a given timespan (daily, weekly, monthly).
- Use up to 20 tags to search for up to 320 posts at once.
- Exclude .webm files to circumvent accidental downloads of larger animations. (.swf files are disabled by default, cannot be viewed/downloaded)
Saving Posts
- ANDROID: Posts are saved into /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/yiffbrowse/(tag combination you used)/(post_id).(file_extension)
- ANDROID: Post previews saved into /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/yiffbrowse/(tag combination you used) - thumbnails/(post_id)_preview.(file_extension)
- WINDOWS: Posts are saved into C:/Users/(Username)/AppData/Local/Packages/(YiffBrowse folder)/LocalState/Pictures/(tag combination you used)/(post_id).(file_extension)
- WINDOWS: Post previews saved into C:/Users/(Username)/AppData/Local/Packages/(YiffBrowse folder)/LocalState/Pictures/(tag combination you used) - thumbnails/(post_id)_preview.(file_extension)
- ANDROID: Popular daily/weekly/monthly files are saved into /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/yiffbrowse/(PopularDaily/PopularWeekly/PopularMonthly)/((post_id).(file_extension)/(post_id)_preview.(file_extension))
- WINDOWS: Popular daily/weekly/monthly files are saved into C:/Users/(Username)/AppData/Local/Packages/(YiffBrowse folder)/LocalState/Pictures/Popular/(Daily/Weekly/Monthly)/((post_id).(file_extension)/(post_id)_preview.(file_extension))
- ANDROID: Downloaded posts are also saved into /storage/emulated/0/Documents/yiffbrowse/posts.txt (like this: (post_id)#(path_to_file)) so that the app knows there files are.
- WINDOWS: Downloaded posts are also saved into C:/Users/(Username)/AppData/Local/Packages/(YiffBrowse folder)/LocalState/Databases/posts.txt (like this: (post_id)#(path_to_file)) so that the app knows there files are.
- ANDROID: Downloaded thumbnails are also saved into /storage/emulated/0/Documents/yiffbrowse/thumbnails.txt (like this: (post_id)#(path_to_file)) so that the app knows there files are.
- WINDOWS: Downloaded thumbnails are also saved into C:/Users/(Username)/AppData/Local/Packages/(YiffBrowse folder)/LocalState/Databases/thumbnails.txt (like this: (post_id)#(path_to_file)) so that the app knows there files are.
Pools
I also like calling them comics, you'll know why when you read the pool #12267!
- Go through pages of pools to start reading.
- Find a pool directly by its ID.
- "Query"-Mode was replaced with the "Advanced"-Mode, where you can search for an ID, a name, the creator, if it should be a series or collection, sort by name, creation date, post count or last updated
- Another thing you can do so you don't have to remember names and IDs is marking a pool as a favourite and using the "Favourites"-mode. Favourite pools are saved into
- - ANDROID: /storage/emulated/0/Documents/yiffbrowse/favourites_pools.txt
- - WINDOWS: C:/Users/(Username)/AppData/Local/Packages/(YiffBrowse folder)/LocalState/Databases/favourites_pools.txt
Saving Pools
- ANDROID:Pools are saved into /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/yiffbrowse/Pools/(pool_id)/cover_(pool_id).(file_extension) and /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/yiffbrowse/Pools/(pool_id)/page_(n).(file_extension)
- WINDOWS:Pools are saved into C:/Users/(Username)/AppData/Local/Packages/(YiffBrowse folder)/LocalState/Pictures/Pools/(pool_id)/cover_(pool_id).(file_extension) and C:/Users/(Username)/AppData/Local/Packages/(YiffBrowse folder)/LocalState/Pictures/Pools/(pool_id)/page_(n).(file_extension)

- "Scan files into the Gallery?" (Android only)
- Downloaded files aren't shown in the Android systems' gallery by default. Tick this option if you want posts/pages from pools to show up there.
- "Copy Posts Path" (Windows only)
- Copies the posts path into your clipboard for easy access so that you can manage the files.
- "Stream files, don't download"
- Does what it says on paper, it keeps your system clean of any explicit/questionable/safe material. Also saves space.
- "Skip posts with invalid file-URLs"
- Posts without a preview, sample and file parameter (null-value). With this option set, they won't even show up.

I've not worked on this app for a month, the reason being that I'm going to uni and don't have much free time for this anymore. Apart from that, I rushed through my last week before uni to get this app up and running for all of you.
Thank you so much for downloading to the 180 people at the time of writing, it literally exploded from ~30 or ~60 to 150, thank you!
Hello! It's been quite some time since the last big update, the ones prior to Update 22 were small band-aid fixes which resulted in some more chaos... Well, it should be fixed now.
Installation for Windows 10 devices is a little... different... not exactly harder... but... it could be easier...
